It's almost too obvious now that everyone is into it, but the "Baby girl" callback in Last of Us sure got me at the time.

"All those years ago, Tim had left the Princess behind. He had kissed her on the neck, picked up his travel bag, and walked out the door. He regrets this, to a degree. Now he's journeying to find her again, to show her knows how sad it was, but also to tell her how good it was."

Hold! What you are doing to us is wrong! Why do you do this thing?
There sure must be a lot of better candidates, but this one comes to my mind:
We can forget happy things. We can probably forget sad things too. People have the power to forget.
All you had to do was follow the damn train CJ
Aw shit, here we go again
Not a line per se since the game didn't really have a real language, but when the older brother died in Brothers: Tale of Two Sons. I was sobbing hard. Even in the gibberish made up language you could feel the despair.
For me, it was a gameplay element. The point where you're swimming and have to use the older brother's stick just brought the whole thing together for me, and was something that could only be done within a video game, as opposed to any other form of media.

You are the child of my makers. Inheritor of all they left behind. You are forerunner, but this ring, Is mine.
That one gave me both the feels and goosebumps the first time I heard it.

And
“So let there be no way back. From that temptation I sunder us. No more shall man have wings to bear him to paradise. Henceforth, he shall walk.”
From Final Fantasy XIV. There are so many more, but those two stick out the most in my mind.
And I suppose "for those that we have lost, and those we can yet save." For my favorite recurring line.

It's not your standard emotion, but when a Civ VI game ends and there's that button that says "Just one more turn..." I've had a huge range of emotional responses.

Probably not the absolute most touching, but, yeah, I think it's a pretty touching scene in context.
Spoilers for Brok the Investigator:
During chapter 2 there's a scene where Brok and Graff go up to a spot where Brok and Graffs mom used to go on dates, outside the dome. They have a father son bonding moment and at one point Graff asks:
Is it... wrong if I can't remember her? Not just her but... My father too.
It's an emotional moment where he wonders if not being able to remember his birth parents makes him a bad person and to me is a pretty emotional moment, with the music playing a just as equal role as making it emotional as the voice acting does.
I need you to take a deep breath… and find your balls.
