I'm looking for a game with a good, strong atmosphere and interesting art and story. Something similar to Alice Madness Returns or Bioshock in terms of atmoshpere and gameplay would be nice but it doesn't necessarily have to be dark. The unique kind of game that you don't just forget about once you've finished it.

Also, preferably not a shooter or horror game but if you know a really good one, I don't mind those either.

^ this.

Also, just so I understand: What you are looking for is a crazy world? It's kinda hard to figure out what you want if you take two different genres/worlds and remove most of the common things they have.

@davillain-: @ArchoNils2:

I own a laptop (Asus ROG: Intel core i7-4720 @ 2.60GHz, 8GB, nVidia GeForce GTX 950M)

Despite the difference between those games I feel like they give a similar atmosphere through the soundtrack, design and story and that's pretty much what I'm looking for. And yes, a crazy and interesting world. I'm sorry, it's kind of hard for me to explain exactly what I mean but I suppose a nice design would be the main key. If it helps, another game that I liked and found similar to Alice would be the last Devil May Cry, both in terms of atmosphere and gameplay.

@neemzo: "I own a laptop (Asus ROG: Intel core i7-4720 @ 2.60GHz, 8GB, nVidia GeForce GTX 950M)"

Okay, I see what you have now. I'll just post the one's I find to have strong atmosphere & good (twisted) storytelling game:

  • Soma (a twisted story to tell but in a good way)
  • Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (this game has a great storytelling and the atmosphere is amazing and yes, it's an open-world but worth the time & money)
  • Beyonetta (since you mention Devil May Cry, Beyonetta is also a good game but Beyonetta 2 is also great assuming you can get a Wii U in the future)
  • Resident Evil 7 (Despite it's a horror, it's one of the best atmosphere game I enjoy if you are interested in the story of course)
  • Transistor (Very great game with great soundtrack that matches the atmosphere of the game)

Well I hope this help and check them out if they match what you are looking for.

@davillain-: I've never heard of Soma and Transistor until now but they do look really good so I will definitely try them. As for Witcher and Resident Evil series, they've been on my list for a long time so I guess I should finally play them. Thank you!

Yeah SOMA and Transistor are good. SOMA is a horror game, however.

If you enjoy Transistor, might want to check out Bastion as well (same developer); it has a "dynamic narrator" or something like that, makes for a really immersive experience, feels like you're kind of playing with someone, or with someone watching you lol. Really charming games. Do you have Steam Link or a controller? They're really fun couch games, something I rarely endorse lol.

Along those lines, there's also Hyper Light Drifter. It doesn't really have any formal sort of story; instead it relies almost solely on environment, ambiance, and implied feeling and stuff. Really fun game, very trippy, retro, bitty game. Gave me the shivers, to be honest.

There's also Ori and the Blind Forest, which is a really touching, cute, sad, awesome, fun...pretty much every emotional experience on the spectrum. It's like if you could take the feeling of watching a Pixar movie and feel that way while playing a game, that's how Ori and the Blind Forest is.

This might seem kind of out there, but I found Darksiders 2 to have a really cool story, characters, and environment. Kind of whimsical, gothic, fairy tale. I know at it's core it's a button-mashing action game like any other, but for some reason the story and lore really struck me as awesome.

If you're looking for something kind of goofy, fun, but also incredibly awesome there's Brutal Legend. It has a really cool premise and the gameplay will remind you a lot of Alice in some ways. It's a few years old at this point, but it looks good enough and it just oozes style and charm. Lots of awesome voice talent, music, and just coolness.

Papers, Please is an interesing game. It's not really like any game you, or at least I, have ever played; sort of half puzzle, half investigation, half mind game. You basically play a clerk at a border checkpoint and you allow people in or deny people entry based on their credentials and/or how strict your country is. They will sometimes try to bribe you, or maybe they will lie to you. But you also have a family to support and they get sick, or hungry, or cold....and these people you let in, they might be a doctor and they could do a lot of good but you could get in trouble letting them in. Or they could be a drug dealer, but they bribe you with medicine to cure your dying son. It's a really atmospheric game despite being not really all that warm and, well, atmospheric.
