Atmospheric games

Just recently i found out about Cryostasis and its amazing. Theres almost no enemies in the game but its still amazing.

Post all atmospheric games you know like Bioshock, STALKER, Cryostasis, METRO 2033...etc

Doesn't need to be FPS.

^^ and doom 3malikmmm

yes

Condemned Criminal Origins, Bioshock series and the Hal-Life series are the ones that I believe had the best atmosphere.

Far Cry 1 might fit into the category. If you zoom in to mercs with your binoculars, you'll start to hear them socialize. Captured the setting of an isolated tropical island very well in general.

Got to agree with Arkham Asylum. The atmos in the game is breathtaking. Easily best comic to game ever.

for me the Hitman series had great atmosphere

Fallout 3 has a nice atmosphere...rmfd341

When I hear atmospheric the first thing that comes to my mind is Assassin's Creed/Fallout 3/Call of Duty.

BioShock and BioShock 2 have the best atmospheres I think, I can just stand and watch the beauty of the games for hours! Eyecandy!

Clive Barkers, The Undying was the first and still one of the best atmospheric games I ever played.

The original Tomb Raider is still one of the most atmospheric games ever on the PC......eerie alone feeling really pulls you in.

Half life 2 is the most atmospheric game ever created. I disagree with 90% of the games that people have listed simply because i don't think games with good settings make them atmospheric. It takes fitting music, fitting art, and fitting characters and story to make a game atmospheric. I have yet to play a game, other than HL2, that has had all of those things.

That means I don't find Bioshock atmospheric, i don't find Doom 3 atmospheric and i don't find STALKER atmospheric AT ALL. These games all have the atmospheric graphics done well, but they are lacking in and characters and music and story.

hoola

Oh ....and if you have Doom 3 ...then youll have to have the Painkiller series as well .

Chronicles of Riddick

Condemned : is highly rated as creepy ...i havent played that one yet .

The Haunted Cathedral. I was so scared of playing the game for fear of running into those Haunts that I couldn't play the game. I returned two years later to finish the level...I took me like an entire day but I finished it.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Mirror's Edge

I personally though Metro 2033 was the most atmospheric game I have ever played.

I have played STALKER, HL2, Bioshock and couldnt finish them because the game world didn't grab me and didnt set the mood. While FO3 is a good game its atmosphere is a joke. Arkham Asylum has a pretty good atmosphere as well.

The Thief Series System Shock 2 The Suffering Cold Fear F.E.A.R (The first one you play, anyway) 8)nightharvest

:D good --

I loved the atmosphere in the Max Payne games.

Clive Barkers, The Undying was the first and still one of the best atmospheric games I ever played.

Amnesia looked like it was 'atmospheric' never played it though.

Diablo and others that people have already listed.

i agree with what youre saying but stalker ticks all those boxes (music, art, characters etc) too. its definitely the most atmospheric game ive played for years

This list would not be complete without Amnesia, best "atmospheric" game in years.

I'm disappointed that no one mentioned METRO 2033!Mehdi-Y

NanoMan88 did ;)
