Yeah definitely a few times. I'll start with the most unexpected ones.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - Probably the weirdest one! The original DKC trilogy are some of the first video games I ever played and they still mean a lot to me, especially the soundtracks. Tropical Freeze features a masterful remix of DKC 2's "In a Snow Bound Land" that very sneakily works its way into what sounds like an entirely new track. About a minute into the song, it hits. Childhood memories came flooding back to me and I lost it. Really a special, personal moment.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - "I'll always be your Zelda." The big reveal/Zelda conversation after the first 6 dungeons is just so good. I don't think this did it to me until my second playthrough, but it's obvious the first time through that Zelda (well, the writers) is being very meta here and talking about the series as a whole. That line takes on a whole different meaning when reflecting upon the series, just thinking about how much it means to me got me. It feels like such a perfect tribute. Another reason I love this game.

Gears of War 2 - That part with Dom. If you've played the game, you know what I'm talking about. Never in a million years expected a game like this to make me cry

okay lesser weird ones

Half-Life 2: Episode Two - That ending. Almost definitely the most intense cry ever from a video game; was literally bawling uncontrollably the whole credits. Also think this was the first time a game ever made me cry.

Outer Wilds - the ending, you already know. But not tears of sadness for this one. The campfire had me very emotional, but the big bang is what pushed me over the edge into full blown tears.

The Gardens Between - think the ending here got me too, maybe just very slightly but still powerful with that ending song

Gris - again, the ending. I played this game only a few weeks after my brother committed suicide and this game is all about dealing with the death of a loved one.

Tetris Effect - Not sure if the final level did, but I know the credits did

The Last of Us - the ending of the "Winter" section with Ellie. Damn forgot this one but yeah, incredibly powerful.

There are possibly (still) more I'm not thinking of.
