Good lord, someone turned the Harlan Ellison story into a game…? Savage.

Journey, for me. Nothing has ever even come close to the power it can deliver. Only problem these days is there is some rng involved in actually getting a great experience.

FF6 and FFX also hit pretty hard, in that good old epic jrpg way. TLOU is an easy mention, the way it all comes together.

Suzerain also pulled off a really unique experience. But heavy VN elements are cheating a little bit. Obviously you can hit people in the emotions if you’re basically just writing a book. Making me care about a fictional country and its people was a cool trick though.
