    The mission where the janitor gives you his Walkman in Control, where you’re in that weird room killing heaps of enemies. Couldn’t stop smiling and appreciating the scene with the great music.

    Bastion, near the end; can’t remember the names, but when you’re carrying the man that betrayed you, while being shot at by his former clan; and eventually they stop, in awe of your commitment.

    One of the soldiers finally opens fire again, and the one next to him throws him to the ground.

    That moment when you pulls the Master Sword from the Dragon, nothing top that moment for me in Zelda series.

    One time falling into the black hole on brittle hallow, I just happened to have my signalscope out and fall in at the right time to get the harmonic convergence achievement. It was an amazing moment exploring that world, falling through a black hole and being greeted by the travelers theme.

    When that music kicks in when you start a game of We Love Katamari or Katamari Damacy

    It will always bring me joy

    It brings me back to a simpler time of being a kid during summer and picking the game up for the first time with a former friend.

    Though that former friend is no longer here, those memories of that summer will be with me hopefully forever.

    I had lost those memories (and many many others) a few years back when I had a traumatic brain injury, and last summer when my AC was broken and I caught myself humming a some I didn’t remember. And after a bit of working on the song it clicked what it was from. I listened too a few songs from it and booted it up on my old PS2. And that intro music while sitting in front of my TV on the floor, brought me to happy tears as those memories of that summer started to flood back.

    The ending of God of War: Ragnarok. Although I have some problems with the “mechanics” of the story (how they handled the prophecy is a bit silly) the emotional and thematic core of the story is A+. I got a bit teary eyed at multiple points in the game, and I almost cried at the ending. Kratos got the finale he deserved.

    Maybe it is nostalgia, but Prince of Persia: Sands of Time ending. That whole soundtrack was a banger too.

    Any Dark Brother quests in the Elder Scrolls.

    Many absurd deaths in Spelunky 2. As a game, it has a tendency to kill you in ways that are very over the top, and unfair. It used to frustrate me, but I’ve evolved past that, and now I just smile.
