I’m on the lookout for games that take place in really grim settings but still manage to offer beautiful, touching moments, especially in terms of character interactions. Titles like The Last of Us series and Cyberpunk 2077 have really resonated with me. In fact, I find these kinds of games oddly comforting during tough times. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, and have a great week! <3

Death Stranding really embodies this theme. The world feels like it’s falling apart, but the characters are doing their best to help one another. Played it during the pandemic and it hit hard!
Final Fantasy X also fits the bill. The characters really shine through even in a rough world.
If you’re into post-apocalyptic games that emphasize humanity, Nier: Automata is a must-play! It dives deep into those emotional moments against a stark backdrop.
Have you tried the Metro series? All three games offer that tense, post-apocalyptic atmosphere but with some very touching moments.
You should definitely check out Disco Elysium! It’s the first game that actually made me cry. The storytelling is just that good!
Yeah, I’ve heard amazing things about it! Gotta add it to my list.
Same here! The messaging really resonated with me during those times.
