Comment on Looking for emotional game recommendations

I haven’t played it myself, but I’ve seen playthroughs of The Last of Us. Even though there’s a sequel, I’ve heard the first one is better. Anyway, if engaging story is what you’re after, I’d check that out.
I’ve also never played this one, but I’ve heard SpecOps: The Line is also a gutpunch.
It’s a bit of a commitment, but I always found the Halo series to be kinda emotional to me, but then I also grew up with it and got invested in the characters. Your mileage may vary with Halo.
Final recommendation would be Ori and the Blind Forest if you’re into platformers.

Already played through Spec ops the line and loved it, but not as muxh as those other games.
I never played TLOU, might try it out
And yeah Halo wasn’t for me at all
Ori has been also recommended a lot to me but isn’t it hard to get attached to characters with the presentation the game is going for?

Yeah, Ori is emotional but there isn’t much to attach you to the characters if that’s what you’re looking for.
Might I recommend Witcher 3? I didn’t play the other ones, but I found myself getting attached to the characters by the end all the same.

The Last of Us can be very intense, and the ending of both 1 and 2 are heart wrenching. I definitely recommend them both. Also take reviews of 2 with a grain of salt. A lot of red pill misogynists hated it.
