To The Moon approaches many difficult subjects that have not been explored in a game before and does so with an amazing level of grace. It is a tragic romance in reverse that explores the complexities of mental illness and childhood trauma, whilst also serving as an inspirational look at what could have been. This is not an experience that needed high powered graphics and complex game mechanics to be successful, and Freebird Games should be commended for an outstanding effort. To The Moon shines as a perfect example of how excellent writing can overcome so many obstacles, and for $9.99 on Steam there is no reason why anyone should not consider giving it a shot.

How is metal gear solid 3 snake eater not on this list? I was sad for days with that ending.
Some games hit people hard. Which is a relief when people need to let emotions out. So settle in with these seven games.
