A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

TIL supershigi makes video games. I'll defo have to check this one out. Bonus points if she sings in the OST.
It was short and sweet but Planet of Lana got me in the feels a little bit.

Don't think I've seen anyone mention Oneshot. Amazing little game.
Plague Tale (Both games are solid, but 2 was sooooo good)
Have you played Plague Tale 1 and 2? I'm not considered a very emotional person, but the dynamic really got to me. Just a really solid game, enjoyable combat. They're two of the very few games I binged to completion.
The House in Fata Morgana. Nice thing is that'll it be both sad and happy tears.
It's been a few years and listening to the soundtrack snaps me back. I only wish I could I could play it again for the first time.
If you like VNs, check out Saya no Uta. One of the most fucked pieces of media out there. It's amazing.
Telltale Games Walking Dead. Not a game, but a whole series.
Portal 2. But you should play the first part before sequel, if you haven't already.

Rime is hauntingly beautiful in a way that hits you as it finishes.
Papers, Please. Maybe not crying, but could definitely put you into a depressed mood if you manage to get into character. Needing to make a choice between letting some poor bastard's wife follow him without proper papers and feeding your family is tough.
That Dragon, Cancer. Part game, part visual novel.
Persona 4 Golden is a beautiful game that made me emotional more than once.
Haven't actually played it yet but a video about MOTHER 3 made me cry just talking about the story (not only that but the part where he talked about the story made me a little emotional)
You may already know it but Omori was heavily inspired by the mother series and especially Mother 3: https://twitter.com/_omocat/status/1384687971929006080
Death Stranding
Titanfall 2... Goodness that ending had my kiddo misty eyed. As for me, there was dust in my hand room or my allergies were acting up.

Had a quick scroll through and didn't see it anywhere yet, so:
Dear Esther.
Actually, reminds me I should play through it again, it's been a few years.
