I've shed a tear and choked up playing games like TellTale's The Walking Dead, The Last of Us, and Life is Strange. Rakuen is the first game to just make me straight-up sob. It starts a little slow with the first story arc not being the most compelling, and the mechanics aren't the most interesting, but the character work, art, and music are just top-notch throughout the game. The light-hearted whimsy of a child going on a fantastical journey balances out the bleakness of the overarching narrative. Also, we need more games that show the strength of good moms!
