Games That Have Sign Language
Sign Language is language expressed by hand movement, gestures, and facial expressions to convey meaning instead of actual words. It is a complete natural language while having different grammar from its verbal language, but has the same linguistic properties. This list will exclusively be for games that implemented sign language, whether it's from cutscenes, interpreter for easy accessibility, etc

Love the idea of this list! I believe that Tacoma uses ASL finger-spelling to interact with terminals, too!
@DeemonAndGames didn't know Moss used ASL, but that's cool. I never played the game before, but thank you for telling me, I'll add it to the list
@JoeSchmoe added to the list.
Spider-Man 2 brings it back, and it's even more prominent.
Do I dare mention The Quiet Man? It's a notoriously bad representation of the deaf communit, but they did have a deaf consultant for specifically sign language so... at least that part is good? Here's an article on it from a deaf player so you can decide for yourself.

wanted: dead has a fairly prominent character who communicates using sign language
@electrode didn't know The Quiet Man had sign language, but if I get to that game, hoo boy, this'll be an interesting topic to talk about. I'll think about it if I want to add the game in there.
I saw a Twitter post that Hailey is back, so that's good to see. I'll get to Spider-Man 2 soon.

Super cool list, more games should include sign language in some capacity, honestly, it's always nice to see it represented.
