    A lot of good ones, but no one has mentioned Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons. Fairly short, controlling two characters simultaneously was a cool mechanic, and the puzzles were fun but not very challenging. It probably hit me the hardest of any game I’ve played. I literally teared up every time

    I pressed older brother’s interact button in the final chapter.

      I was hoping to see this one here. Been a long while since I played, but it still stands out in my memory. I love the way that game manipulates the control scheme towards the end to perfectly mirror the loss felt by the character (and his eventual overcoming that loss).
