Spec me a game with emotion / story

I'll give another vote about This War of Mine. Never have I thought about the repercussions of what I do and the choices I make more than I have done in that game.
 
life is strange

Quoting Niko there I see, but you left out the 'don't you think' part ;)

And a game I recommend, if you haven't played it - Wolfenstein The New Order. Not really that overly emotional, but it really absorbs you in to the amazing story and you care about the badass main character who is done so well, and some of the others characters too. The characters and voice acting are superb, the Jimi Hendrix part was awesome, and ofcourse I have to mention it is tons and tons of fun!

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...
 
It's been said many times, but the most recent game for a long time that hit me in the Feels was/is The Walking Dead.

The decisions and guilt, plus the affection for some of the characters shows how great the writing and design of the games are. Telltale really do live up to their name.
 
Does Mafia 1 hold up after playing Mafia 2?

Good call on mafia 1. One of the few games I've ever finished, and I remember being totally blown away by it.
I do fear that the dated visuals really would detract from it today though. I know gameplay and story is what we're talking about, but you need the whole package I think for true immersion. Back in the day mafia 1 visuals and physics were cutting edge.

I completely forgot about 'to the moon'. I'd add that to my list. Amazing considering the characters are just pixelated blobs.
 
To The Moon made me cry pretty much nonstop for the rest of the day after beating it, no game has ever hit me so deep. The great soundtrack most likely helped.

Like others have said, very surprising considering it's a 2D RPG maker game!
 
Alpha Protocal; original issues have been patched; story as several endings along with good story; gameplay is fun.
murdered soul suspect. Shorter game but I really liked it.

Lots already put also :)
