Shadow of the Colossus/Tear Jerker


 * Fits these with the ending and a certain scene involving a collapsing bridge before the final Colossus.
 * After following you silently yet with utter devotion, your only companion in the vast empty world. And to top it off, it was to save your bacon...
 * Here's an experiment. Try to look the Colossi in the eye before you kill them, then watch their slowmo deaths. Its okay to cry, it means you're still human.
 * The Downer Ending sent this trope in tears  It was so simplistic and honest it was overwhelming.
 * This troper can keep it together until the very end when "The Sunlit Earth" starts playing and it shows the hawk flying away, and then... Oh boy...
 * What's even worse about the ending is that
 * YMMV, of course. There are all sorts of interpretations to this game. Mine?  So you could be crying tears of joy. Maybe.
 * The scene where Wander dreams about Mono coming back to life. Ten times more wibbling when he actually mumbles her name before waking up.
 * This troper started to tear up when he got to the end and fully realized that  is the real villain in this story!
 * I got teared up when I realized the villain actually won.
 * Killing Phalanx is something of a traumatic experience, mainly because it never does anything to attack Wander, ever, even when he starts firing arrows at it and stabbing its weak spots. Watching it crash to the ground was just as sad for me as the actual ending was.
