Legend of Mana has that awesome fairytale mood to it.

Shame about the weird-ass "custom" world map system; a traditional open fantasy world would have made it perfect

Phantasy Star Online.

And specifically, Mines 2nd level.

People meme Donkey Kong to death, but the DKC games, especially the first two, are some of the most atmospheric games I know.

>>3728012
This, but the starting area. I always love forest stages and this one was so cool. You had this weird mix of natural and artificial elements, the safety of being in a starting zone but the buildings looming on te horizon, like a prelude for the challenge to come. And, of course, the OST. Maybe it's just nostalgia talking but that first level really gets to me.

Realms of the Haunting

The lighting and dark atmosphere is 10/10

>he doesn't understand the narrative of Legend of Mana
the game only works the way it does because you're an avatar of the mana goddess, it's only written the way it is because of that, you are literally recreating the world from your dreams in this game

>>3732026
>first four tomb raider games

I could only get into the first two, but I do agree that they had a way of building suspense that really lent to the experience.

Super Metroid
OoT
Super Castlevania 4
the top 3 when atmospheric comes to mind

Don't get me wrong, OoT is a great game, but I don't find it atmospheric. I think the fact that it has so many different worlds (fire, water, etc) that transition so quickly really makes it hard to stay immersed.

Fire Temple's Muslim chanting was definitely memorable though.

>>3733865
I get 70% immersed with OoT's intro alone. Not at the level of the other 2 though.

Splatterhouse.

This would have been absolutely forgotten by now if not for the atmosphere.

gosh darn it, I never noticed that before. Spitting image.

first-person dungeon-crawlers tend to be atmospheric

That camera work, holy shiiiiiiiiit!
How's the gameplay and story?

>>3734059
Story is solid.

Gameplay is...Unique. Even to this day. Pseudo action-rpg/tactical I guess? It uses a sphere of action or something if I remember correctly.

>>3729023
Any other SNES adventure games that you'd recommend? Looking for some comfy stuff to emulate.

>>3734106
I got you man.

Comfy SNES stuff:

> Fami Tantei 2
> Wonder Project J
> Clock Tower (spoopy comfy)
> Shin Megami Tensei II
> Radical Dreamers
> Majotachi no Nemuri (JP)

>>3734129

>>3734061
Time to get it out of my backlog. Thanks.

Basically 80's American Gory Horror Films: The Game, down to playing as the physical mirror of hockey mask era Jason and encountering villains like Evil Dead II sentient hands that flip you off.

Also, killing the sewer monsters generates one of the most satisfying sounds imaginable.

This one for me

I find The Divide: Enemies Within to be very atmospheric. It kinda had to be, being heavily inspired by Metroid.

Spyro 1, but not so much Spyro 2 and 3. I can't quite put my finger on why that is, but I'm damn sure 1 is the comfiest of the three PS1 games.

- Super Castlevania IV
- Demon's Crest
- Splatterhouse 2
- Metroid Fusion
- Donkey Kong Country
- Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (for me, at least)
- Tingle's Rosy Rupee Land (An interesting surreal and mysterious atmosphere mixed with humor)

Yeah, I didn't add the quote when editing.

I need to play the other games in the series. Loved the AC original, but never tried to sequels.

I found Super Metroid hard to get into for some reason, even though I like the sort of moody ambiance it has. Maybe it moved too fast, or the areas felt too disconnected, but it never really hit me with a sense of being deeply immersed or lost in another world.

Metroid 1 and 2 give me chills though.

You cray. Metroid 3 was slower than Metroid 1 apart from the few times you sprint.

That being said, Kraid's Hideout is the best song on any Metroid game as far as atmosphere goes.

>>3727989
Bikini ending was a little underwhelming DESU
Wish she would turn around so you could see her ass or something
Maybe shake it a lil

As much as I appreciate the near-perfection that is Super Metroid, Fusion just appeals to my tastes more. Release date for *that* hack yet?

>>3736291

do you think that samus's ass jiggles when she shakes it

Darius games are impressively atmospheric considering their arcade lineage. Hell, the infamous 3-screen cabinet even had headphone jacks in them so you could filter out all outside noise and enjoy the surreal, hypnotic tunes to yourself!

Come to think of it, this seems to be a specialty of sorts for Taito. Gun Frontier, Metal Black and RayForce all provide a very cinematic experience well before FMV gaming became widespread simply by making good use of set pieces and synced music.
