Some games have done a great job of conveying complex emotions. Metal Gear Solid 5 - The Phantom Pain, for all its faults, either inadvertently, or through genius, managed to deliver the feeling of "Phantom Pain" by launching an incomplete game. By pitching the installment as the end to a 25 year old epic saga, the game simply ends with a seemingly unsolvable problem.
Earlier installments also killed off characters (The Boss, Big Boss) in tragic fashion.
The Last of Us & Final Fantasy VII also had some good plot points that dealt with tragic deaths.
