* ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' has Bewear, the Strong Arm Pokemon, a big cuddly bear that is BearyFriendly and loves to give hugs to its Trainer to show its affection. However, its immense strength means that said Trainer is unfortunately crushed to death, unless they have taught it how to ease up.

* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'': Papyrus has a rather wild underestimation of his own strength. Undyne won't allow him to join the Royal Guard, and he believe it's because he's not strong enough; in fact, she thinks he's ''more'' than powerful enough, it's that he's too ''nice'' that she's holding him out. In the boss fight with him, he at one point uses a "absolutely normal attack" against you because his "special attack" was stolen. Said "absolutely normal attack" is one of the ''hardest attacks in the game'' to avoid. (The only point where he ''does'' know his own strength is in pulling his punches; he's the only boss in the game who won't kill you, intentionally or unintentionally, always stopping when you're at 1 HP.)

* ''VideoGame/LikeADragon'' has a minor example in Hiroki Awano from ''VideoGame/Yakuza0''. He was once a rising star in the Tojo Clan, strong like a bull and with the potential to make it to the top, but he let himself get swept away by the vices of the lifestyle, choosing from then on to play it safe and settle for his current position. He even mentions that his ''irezumi'' is probably faded because he kept sedentary. During his fight with Majima, he slowly gets back into the groove of the man he once was and even surprises both Majima and himself when he craters a wall with a missed punch.

* In ''[[VideoGame/{{Crysis}} Crysis 2]]'', the first time Alcatraz comes across a door after getting the Nanosuit, he accidentally rips the pushbar off trying to open it. He's noticeably more gentle when opening doors afterward.

* ''VideoGame/{{Chest}}'': As the Hero, Zong is incredibly strong, but [[UnskilledButStrong can't control]] that strength easily. When taking on a lumberjack job, he accidentally felled the whole forest with one swing. He also accidentally turned Mount Aluxes into a valley while training with a sword. However, this mostly seems to be a thing of the past, since in the present, he non-lethally punches a {{Jerkass}} aristocrat.

Characters who [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength have trouble judging and controlling their own strength]] in VideoGames.
----
* In ''VideoGame/{{Devil May Cry 3|DantesAwakening}}'' after Dante is defeated by Vergil and unlocks his [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] he staggers over to a pillar and [[https://gfycat.com/ethicalwindyboto smacks it in frustration, the pillar shudders and then breaks apart]]. Dante looks at his hand excited, the [[ThemeMusicPowerUp music kicks in]] and he gets a HeroicSecondWind worth nothing Dante had SuperStrength before then but it seems his [=DT=] has boosted it to point he has it unconsciously.
* While just about everyone in ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' has ridiculous [[Anime/DragonballZ DBZ]]-levels of SuperStrength, only Flonne's shown some difficulty in controlling it: [[VisualNovel/DisgaeaInfinite at one point]], she hastily shoves Laharl away (to prevent him from performing PercussiveMaintenance on poor Mr. DVD Player) and ends up [[BlownAcrossTheRoom rocketing him across the room]].
** The Vita port of ''VideoGame/Disgaea3'' brings us Rutile, a [[HalfHumanHybrid halfling]] [[CatGirl Nekomata]] whom transfers to Evil Academy to get a better hold of her demonic strength. It becomes a little hard to make friends when a casual handshake can break people's arms.
* A trailer for ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' has Jensen accidentally cracking a glass as he tries to hold it with one of his new cybernetic arms.
* ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'': Guan Yinping beats down stone walls for training, and it shows, as she has a tendency to accidentally rip bricks out of masonry and nearly dislocates people's shoulders when helping them up. Her issue isn't that she doesn't know how strong she is, but rather being raised in her BadassFamily means her frame of reference is slightly off.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'' has a [[TearJerker heartbreaking]] example with Cloud and Tifa. Late in the game after Section 7 has been completely destroyed by Shinra, Tifa [[BreakTheCutie breaks down completely]] at losing her home for a second time and cries on her [[ChildhoodFriendRomance childhood friend]]’s [[CryIntoChest chest]]. Cloud who up until that point had been [[StoicWoobie very hesitant to open up to those close to him]], finally gives into his feelings and hugs Tifa tightly in response but being a [[SuperSerum Mako]]-powered SuperSoldier, his strong embrace actually hurts her slightly.
* ''Franchise/FireEmblem:''
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses,'' the crown prince of the Kingdom of Faerghus, Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd, has incredible physical strength, but has trouble keeping it from interfering with more dexterous tasks. He asks his friend [[NiceGirl Mercedes]] to teach him needlework in their support chain, and somehow manages to accidentally bend a pair of ''scissors'' with his physical strength alone, and sits out of participating in a fishing contest for fear that he’d accidentally snap his fishing rod in half. It's been a problem for years: His {{Childhood Friend|s}} Felix won't let him live down the fact that he used to accidentally snap swords in half as a child.
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening,'' prince Chrom of the Halidom of Ylisse is remarkably strong, but clumsy enough with it that he [[RunningGag regularly destroys training dummies]] during his sword training, and handles mundane objects so hard that he breaks them, much to his chagrin.
* In ''Videogame/HectorBadgeOfCarnage'', Hector is [[StoutStrength shockingly strong for a fat man]], but is incapable of holding back his strength. This becomes a problem where the player needs to "[[Videogame/MonkeyIsland Fight like a cow]]" which Hector can't do since the softest hit he can do is still a swift jab to the face, thus requiring his partner Lambert (a scrawny weakling) to fill in.
* CPU Yellow Heart and her spoiler-to-name non-HDD self in ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory'', who is capable of knocking enemies over the horizon without trying. Demonstrated in one of her team-up skills where she punts an enemy at a teammate, expected them to hit it back, but puts so much force into it the enemy just cleans them up on the way through.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': This tends to be a problem with Gorons, being rock people that could give human bodybuilders a run for their money.
** In ''[[Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'', After clearing the Dodongo's Cavern, Darunia the Goron decides that he and Link are now sworn brothers, and gives him a hearty pat on the shoulder. It goes about as well as you'd expect, especially when all of the Gorons decide it's time for a GroupHug, which causes Link to run away [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl screaming at the top of his lungs.]]
** A similar thing happens in ''[[Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]'', when Daruk gives Link a playful pat on the back that nearly breaks the poor Hylian's spine.
* Charme of ''VideoGame/MaglamLord'' constantly suffers outside of combat because of her super strength, a part of her Heroic blessing. She can't cook properly because she keeps accidentally crushing ingredients just trying to pick them up and several characters end up being strangled and unable to breath if she tries to hug them.
* ''VideoGame/PathOfExile'': The assassin Vorici gives players missions that can involve killing a target but not all of his guards, all of his guards but not the target, or reducing the target to low life but leaving him alive. This can be difficult for characters who are built to obliterate half the screen with a wave of their hand, and can require some awkward workarounds like removing almost all their supports, or repeatedly using a movement skill that deals almost no damage to wear them down.
* ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' has Bewear, the Strong Arm Pokemon, a big cuddly bear that is BearyFriendly and loves to give hugs to its Trainer to show its affection. However, its immense strength means that said Trainer is unfortunately crushed to death, unless they have taught it how to ease up.
* ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul Calibur III & IV]]'': That'd be Sophitia's younger sister, Cassandra, who has a bad habit of breaking her sister's swords, due to how roughly she handles them.
** Her brother-in-law, Rothion, repaired them the first time, after Cassandra returned from her first journey (''SC II''). However, her next outting concluded with her shattering her sword again. Only this time, Sophitia put her foot down and marched her down to the smithy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H-OdS0K_0c to fix it, herself.]]
** But in ''SC IV'', she finally put that muscle to good use, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6EnMrOfZx8 by breaking Soul Calibur]] as payback for all the hell it had put Sophitia through.
* It's not raw physical strength, but Nadia Grell of ''Videogame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' is the only known Force-Sensitive of her species. Unfortunately, her powers grew with no one to train her. No worries about her getting DrunkOnTheDarkSide (she's entirely too sweet for that), but rocks and trees do have a tendency to [[StuffBlowingUp explode]] if she gets too excited.
* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'':
** Flandre Scarlet of the possesses extreme physical strength and the ability to destroy absolutely anything at will... except she does not know how to control this power. In fact, she was locked away in a basement for 495 years as a result of her unstable and potential destructibility. According to fandom, those she "[[AndCallHimGeorge plays with]]" do not last long...
** Entirely averted with the oni Yuugi Hoshiguma, the physically strongest of the entire cast, whose self-control is such that just getting her to spill a drop of the sake she holds in one hand in a wide bowl [[ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask while fighting]] is considered the only plausible way of winning against her.
