10 Emotionally Intense Video Game Moments You Weren't Ready For

1. The Death Of Aunt May - Marvel's Spider-Man

Oh man... this.

It's not just that Aunt May was Peter's only living family member. It's not that many players can easily project the passing of an elderly relative onto Nancy Linari's innocent, caring performance. It's not even that Yuri Lowenthal's facial capture is so emotional, his very expression will reduce you to tears you.

No, the thing that really breaks you on a core, Spider-Man fiction level, is that Aunt May knew, all along, that Peter was Spider-Man.

The knowledge immediately makes you ask a million questions, but the core sentiment is a realisation of pure love. Losing this person at a time where the new information could've brought them even closer - is heartbreaking, and the game's biggest gut punch.
