Most atmospheric game

[aarontg]

What is the most atmospheric game youv'e ever played? I mean like you forget about what's around you kind of atmospheric.

 

[AkJay]

Dead Space, or F.E.A.R

 

[CerealKiller]

I have to say Soul Reaver.

Ah,the good times...!

 

[teisjm]

Baldurs Gate 2

 

[Twilight_guy]

Bioshock. It creeped me out.

 

[Distorted Stu]

DeadSpace or Bioshock imo

 

[Kasawd]

Myst III, in my opinion. I felt the desperation borne of being alone in a large world.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Fallout 3

 

[Trucken]

Condemned had a good atmosphere. Walking around in the dark, listening carefully for any noise... And shitting myself when a junkie charged me with a pipe.

Left 4 Dead also deserves a mention. At least the first times I played it, moved forward veeeery slowly.

Gears is pretty good for atmosphere, but so is FEAR (one).

 

[_Janny_]

Fallout 3

Agreed. The hours just flew by me. I remember that we had a tiny earthquake take place once when I was playing, and my first thought was "goddammit, the explosion from my nuke launcher sure feels realistic". Talk about ultra-immersion...

Also, most adventure games like The Longest Journey and any Silent Hill game.

 

[Jark212]

Mass Effect, the music makes it...

 

[Audemas]

Dead Space and Bioshock creeped me out the most.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl

This as well. Some of the underground levels were unbelievably tense.

 

[Slash Dementia]

The Thief series...amazing. Especially the Shalebridge Cradle in Thief 3.

 

[MBergman]

Silent Hill 3 made me panic, and I don't mean just fumble with the controls but really panic. I shut it of and didn't touch it for months.
