Gaming

Easily RimWorld for me. The stories that play out over time, and how to make productivity more efficient live in my head rent free.

To The Moon. Barely a game, the dialogue can be really cheesy in places. But dang, I've thought about the ending to that game probably monthly for over a decade. The sequels are an incredible continuation of the story as well.

SOMA. The ending still freaks me out until this day.

Bioshock Infinite. Love the aesthetics and world building in this game.

Spec Ops: The Line I thought it was just another military 3rd-person shooter. Boy was I wrong. That thing hit me hard!

Also Oni by bungie. I like the style and I remember that the climax was somewhat emotional for very jung me.

This war of mine I cannot play this game for long and I absolutely love it for that.

There are others too but the common thing is that they were emotional for me. Sure I remember great visuals or gameplay but at the end of the day the games that make me feel stuff stay with me.

I keep reading about Outer Wilds. I think its about time this summer.

To answer the question: Risk of Rain 1&2

And maybe the leviathans of my childhood. Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask..

Metal Gear Solid. All of them, but especially MGS 4 left me speechless and sad-tisfied. I played it pretty much every year until my PS3 didn't want to exist anymore. I still have times where I recall scenes from the whole saga.
