5 Heart-Wrenching Moments in Video Games

July 23, 2020 by Red Stewart

Red Stewart presents 5 of the most depressing moments in video games….

I know everyone claims they want to just boot-up Mario, kick back, and forget about the melancholy of the world, but deep down we want to experience something that will draw an emotion out of us. Popcorn entertainment has its role, but it’s not as remembered as media that takes a step further into the realm of human psychology.

Video games have continued that trend, creating powerful moments of storytelling that encompass all things depressing, gut-wrenching, and heartbreaking. If you have the stomach for it, here are five of those scenes from Life is Strange, Assassin’s Creed III, Watch Dogs, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings…

What do you think are the saddest moments in video games? Be sure to let us know, and if you enjoyed this video why not subscribe to our YouTube channel for more exclusive content…
