Spec me a game with emotion / story

I can't remember the last time I played a game and cared about the character I was playing as or the NPCs, or had a story with any kind of pull and emotional weight to it. Has anyone got any suggestions for a game that ticks this box??

Spec Ops: The Line. As a third-person shooter it is pretty average but the story can get to you.

That's one that Ive bought in a sale and never played- I think I'll give it a go!

I might get Brothers too based on the reviews...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've also got a PS4 but cannot get into TLoU- I really suck at the combat so when I'm replaying the same combat sequence for the hyperbazillionth time I kinda lose sight of the story

Maybe I'll give it a go on "baby's first game" difficulty.

Valliant Hearts was on PS+ and I did enjoy it but I found I couldn't care a whole amount about my character, I think because he was 2D. If I'm going to connect with a Character, he or she needs to feel human. Similar to Thomas Was Alone which I also got on PS+ a while back, a block with a soothing voice over doesn't connect with me...

Playing through Spec Ops atm, the plot is starting to get a bit twisted now!

Mafia 1 and 2. Absolutely brilliant story wise. Can't believe no one has said mafia 1

Mafia 1 (and 2 to a lesser extent) is one of my all time favourite games so I've played it too many times to get the same emotional impact as the first time!

I've never really tried BioShock Infinite so maybe that Will be next...
