I was pretty emotionally stunted and depressed as a teenager and had trouble crying even when I wanted to (it's a horrible feeling, physically) so Earthbound and Mother 3 were therapeutic
The first time was in Mass Effect 3, when Liara shows you her project in your cabin. For me, this was the first time in the trilogy where I felt that we could really lose the war against the reapers.
Another very good moment was in Life is Strange Before the Storm, when Chloe finds her dad's car in the junkyard. That hit hard.
No spoilers but the ending of Life Is Strange made me cry.
Mafia 1. "Mr. Salieri sends his regards". Need I say more?
Stray ending
Mass Effect 3: "Leaving Earth"
ME:3 and the cliff.
Several points in Life is Strange, I have yet to finish that game.

Hl2 EP2's ending
The ending of Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, it was just so cool and and so well done. What a great final boss when compared to Breath of the wild.
I tried to install Skyrim and my disc was unreadable
Getting the True Ending in the base game of Outer Wilds. Including the credits, including after the credits. So beautifully bittersweet.

A weird one that I've not seen mentioned: the intro to Battlefield 1. It is really well crafted and was emotional in a way I've never felt from a war FPS.
The multiple unavoidable deaths and brief epitaph shown on screen, before hot swapping to the next soldier felt poignant. Really hit me with the pointlessness and futility of WWI, the plight of the common soldier and the sheer scale of death.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps has some great emotional moments that are complemented by a fantastic soundtrack. Learning about Shriek's backstory after being hunted by her the entire game was just too much.
Before your eyes
Game that uses your blinking as it's controls
Ending just had me in tears
Have probably done that over a bunch of games over the years but can't remember much of them but the one game that immediately comes to mind is spiritfarer. Had so many touching farewells and some of them were too relatable to be not shed a tear. Man Atul left me speechless for days, I still need more hugs.
For me, it was Princess Rosalina’s backstory in Super Mario Galaxy.
This is probably a joke, but I'll still answer.
The last time was the whole second play through of Nier Replicant.
Trails in the Sky, at perhaps two moments. They’re very long JRPGs, and I could argue longer than they need to be with some not so great moments - but the payoff for their better characters is really good.
It’s often cited as “establishing backstory” to the rest of the Trails series. 1 and 2 are basically one complete story; but even the first game sets up a villain and resolution well.
(There is a third that dives a bit too far into setting up “background lore for twenty more games and little else”)

Ugh, my husband made me play the role of Vincent in "A Way Out" and didn't tell me anything about it beforehand.
I had such a good time playing that game all the way until the final battle where instead I just bawled my eyes out and refused to play.
Great game, but I would never play it again.
End of BioShock Infinite
