Plague Tale (Both games are solid, but 2 was sooooo good)
Patient Gamers
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.

Detroit: Become Human had a really great character focused narrative where basically everyone can die. Give that one a go
Rakuen was the most recent game I played that did that for me
TIL supershigi makes video games. I'll defo have to check this one out. Bonus points if she sings in the OST.
Telltale Games Walking Dead. Not a game, but a whole series.
Rime is hauntingly beautiful in a way that hits you as it finishes.
In Bindinc of Isaac you cry a lot.
But on a more serious note. The Life is Strange series can be very emotional, if you like the style of the games.
That Dragon, Cancer. Part game, part visual novel.
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.
Death Stranding
Persona 4 Golden is a beautiful game that made me emotional more than once.
Portal 2. But you should play the first part before sequel, if you haven't already.
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
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.
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.
