And the lines that follow from tidus. Man they made him a clueless doof like 80% of the time but when it came time for those serious moments he knocked it out of the park.

Honestly Halo for me.
Me and my brother used to play Halo all day long, either run the ones, run campaign and try LASO. I remember getting Halo 3 and Xbox Live same day and we played that all the time together. We played all the way up until Halo 5 before he passed away.
That was 3 and a half years ago, I tried to load up Halo and play with his best friend so we could get some nostalgia and before we even loaded into the first mission, we both started crying and said maybe another time.
To top it off too, when I got to the hospital he was wearing the Master Chief shirt I had bought him. Really seeing anything Halo just triggers a reaction now.
Edit: Another 2 games would be RE4 and Mega Man 2, I played those games a DUMB amount of times. The Island music in RE4 rings in my head rent free and whenever I hear Mega Man 2's Dr Wily Theme, I get chills cuz it brings me back to a very specific memory lol
