I found that entire game to have a wonderful atmosphere and sense of place that only really let up in the final act. Wonderful game.maninahat said:
The Walking Dead (telltale)
Episode 3, Carly. Thats all I'll say. That moment left me speechless for almost an hour...just total disbelief with what I had just seen. It had me again at the end of Ep. 5, but it wasn't as impactful to me as that moment with Carly.

Jak & Daxter 3.
I replayed it on the HD trilogy and just "Wow!" I mean it felt like I was playing my whole childhood again.
It was so very awesome indeed.
Makes me want Naughty Dog to drop the Uncharted series and unleash all their power on a new Jak and Daxter game.

Deus Ex a month back. I didn't expect the game to actually accommodate my failure into the actual narrative. Mind was blown.
EDIT: Oh wait a minute! The story in Halo 4 had me saying wow twice and not in a good way....uuugh.
Wonder what would have happened had I actually not been gunned down defending Paul in his apartment...still when I woke up in that cell my mind was blown.

Seriously that one "You are the chosen one" scene actually had me in pain from the heart breaking disappointment of where 343 had just taken Halo.
Daikatana, of all things. I was playing through it because I'm the sort of person who watches shitty movies for laughs, and I was struck by what's actually a really good bit of design. There's one room where the door is malfunctioning, and the only way to proceed is to blow up the power conduit connecting to it. The clever bit is that there are enemies on the catwalks above the cable, ensuring that the player will look up, the cable itself emits periodic sparks, ensuring it'll be noticed, and the door quickly slides open and shut instead of just staying still, indicating that it's malfunctioning and not just locked. All-in-all, one of the best examples of "show don't tell" I've seen in a game.
Here's how to use a spoiler tag so you don't accidentally piss someone off.Chester Rabbit said:

Now just remove the X and you're in.
do [spoilerX=blalalala} and you can add a pre-spoiler note
[spoiler=Star Wars spoiler]Darth Vader is Luke's father[/spoiler]
And now the word Spoiler has lost all meaning.
Spec Ops: The Line.
There were many 'Wow's, although I won't spoil.
I was mentally exhausted and drained by the end, though, and quite uncomfortable in a...good(?) way. Helluva game.
Before that, the opening to ME2. I literally just sat there and gawked, then smacked my gob and went "Wow...they had the balls to do this. Fuck. The Hell. Yes."

The last bit of Bastion was amazing, not that the whole game wasn't, but the last segment left me in awe.
Just last night, playing Mass Effect 3 for the first time. The Kalros scene had me saying "Wow!", or at least things phonetically similar. Quite fun and impressive. Before that? Journey. Or Xenoblade Chronicles, I forget which came later.
Yeah, I'm a predictable one, but I can't help my honest answer. It was when I emerged from The Great Hollow and scanned over Ash Lake. The bluish-greens are my favorite color, it was just gorgeous to me. But I didn't say "wow" until I realized how low I was. By that I mean...Depths is a sewer, Blighttown is a mysterious shanty-town below the sewer itself, you hit a freaking swamp that's even lower, then Ash Lake is at the bottom of a HUGE tree. I didn't say wow until I looked up The Great Hollow from the outside of it and gave it a minute's thought.
I recently joined a Minecraft server, and we'd been travelling for a bit to find the perfect spot to set up. We found this beautiful mountain. Then, we got about 5 other people who we didn't even know to help create a little village. That teamwork in such a beautiful place, it just made me say "Wow".
Well...a lot of games have amazed me lately, but the last one that truly made me say 'Wow.' was probably the ending of Dear Esther.
(Please direct your arguments about Dear Esther not being a game elsewhere. I am well aware of this fact, but it is advertised as a game and therefore I will treat it as such.)

Spec ops the line.
There were many others but that one wins for me.
When I got to the point that Lugo dies I didn't want to kill anymore but then he dies and dear god I wanted to open fire on the crowd. I was stalling trying to decide if the logical (don't fire) or the emotional (kill all of them) would win. They closed in, threw rocks, I hit one in the face trying to push them back. Adams fired into the air and they ran... wow
