    Didyoufartjustthere • 2d ago The Sims. I mean I could have 10 different careers in my life and become a millionaire in my 20's. Build my own house. My sims house has 3 pools and a spa, gym, yoga room, basketball court, media room, music room, kids playroom, dj booth and dance floor and a games room.

    The kids get themselves to school. Hire a butler, nanny, gardener, personal trainer, masseuse and a cleaner. I can even fall in love with someone rich, let them swim in a pool in the winter and let them freeze to death and get all their riches. All in a span of a week. What's not to love.

    Toys_before_boys • 2d ago Animal crossing. I've cried while playing it. Though part of the reason is bc I built a cute little memorial garden on my island in honor of my late husband, who got me into the games.

    GalaxiGazer • 2d ago Well, not the tearing up part... But living in it? Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Being able to freely skate on the sidewalks, ledges, handrails, and tables at the food court without it being a criminal nuisance would be a dream

    uncertain_mind . 2d ago Spiritfarer. I want to replay it. After all there were so many people in my life that have since left, in many ways. I think this is an excellent game about dealing with grief and letting go, but it wrecked me and I am currently trying to find the strength to replay it.

    lifessofun • 2d ago Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - a pivotal game in my life. I was 12 going on 13 when it was released in late '98 and it was the perfect escape from life at the time.

    Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild another pivotal game that - came out right when I needed it. I have a silent princess flower tattoo to commemorate it and my love of Zelda (the games and the character).

    Affectionate-Cow981 2d ago • Stray. You get to play as a cat and make little robot friends along the way as you try to find your cat friends you got separated from.

    ImmigrationJourney2 • 2d ago I wish I could live in Hogwarts. Legacy! The game that really made me tear up is Mass Effect, but I wouldn't want to live there.

    GodEmpresss • 2d ago Mass Effect wrecked me. After all those adventures with Shepard and the crew, saying goodbye to them had me in tears.

    Happy_er_est 2d ago Life is Strange - everything from the aesthetics, soundtrack, relationships, to the bigger picture on the butterfly effect and the impact of our choices. I was genuinely invested and cried during it multiple times. Life is Strange 2 and Life is Strange True Colors are emotional roller coasters as well

    PancakeQueen13 • 2d ago There are some surprisingly sad storylines in Stardew Valley if you befriend everyone. But I haven't cried over it. HOWEVER, it has solidified that I want to one day live in a farming commune where we all have little cabins and just grow our greenhouse together. in
