A genuinely heart warming story that deals with strong themes of love and friendship in a way that made a genuine impact?
Undertale.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Agree such a great game made me cry
Half-life.
Yeah this is it for me. Half Life was such a technical marvel and a step change in story telling through gaming.
I'd argue there isn't one. Not on the scale of LotR. It cannot be overstated how unlikely it was that it happened the way it did.
No one mentions Red dead redemption. This world doesn't have any change.
A lot of good suggestions but my first thought was Final Fantasy X.
red dead redemption 2 is missing from a lot of these
Im...not sure we played the same Red Dead Redemption 2.
planescape torment
BG I,II
Fallout I,II
Terraria
Morrowind
Has he not heard of Ocarina of Time?
This is by no means an all inclusive list. These are just games that I personally played that fit the criteria.
I always felt like Breath of the Wild was Lord of the rings animated by studio Ghibli the videogame.
I beat breath of the wild solely because I was holding out hope that it somehow got good at some point.
The dungeons and boss fights were enjoyable. But there were only 4 of those and the rest of the game was sorely underwhelming.
Tears of the kingdom is the first Zelda game I didn't care to finish in 30 years. I've even beat Zelda 2.
I feel like BotW has some fundamental design problems with lots of repetitive content, an unsatisfying weapon-breaking system, and of course it lacks dungeons. The dialogue has a lot of words but very little to say. Don't get me wrong, the open world is breathtaking, but a lot was sacrificed on that altar.
Witcher 3 is pretty good
Doom. The game that solidified a gaming genre and has become a benchmark for computers. 'Can you play doom on it?'
