Do Games stir emotions within

For some reason games don't often draw emotions but there is a rare one.

Year ago during the uncharted series there was a part where Drake was hiding info from his wife and she discovered him and started yelling at him hard in a hotel about all of the things he was keeping from her. On top of that she also was endlessly giving him guilt trips throughout the adventure. In the beginning I felt the strain of their marriage and took her side but eventually I realized she was just being an annoying idiot. I felt a bit emotional about the story.

Recently I got hit hard. I was playing "Detroit becoming human" and I became extremely moved from the storyline. This guy was being extremely cruel to a little girl robot and I felt sick to my stomach a bit. I felt some extreme anger and motivation to use my character to disable this disgusting father figure. It's possible I could have teared up for a second. There is something about the entirety of this game that draws extreme emotion and a sadness for vulnerable people.
I don't think I'm losing my cool but I'm beginning to remember why I placed this game in the backlog for years.

Do you find any games bring out emotions in yourself?
 
Final Fantasy 8, Golden Sun, Fable 2, and Kingdom Hearts RPG have emotional storylines which stir up emotions of sadness, anger, fear, love, and joy when I played them.
 
Not all games but RPG can certainly stir emotions. Horror games can also stir emotion, but the frightening one.
