These games deal very much with the atmosphere
Jacob Long
Deep Rock Galactic has a great atmosphere. "Dwarves in space" works surprisingly well, and the game really makes you feel like a member of a team of hardcore dwarves that fucking love their dangerous jobs.

Metroidfags are fucking delusional

say what you will about it but alan wake is peak atmosphere
Liam Morgan
It really fucking wasn't. The game was so awful it sucked ANY semblance of atmosphere straight up into the vacuum of space.
Caleb Wood
>Thief: Gold
>Deus Ex
>Dishonored
If by top 3 you mean top atmospheric and not most atmospheric, period. Also Grim Fandango is great throughout, as is TLJ but no matter how much atmosphere there is they're simply not as interactive and therefor engaging as these three.
Oliver Bell
I agree with OP on metroid and DeS. A lot of it had to do with the music and sound effects. The rain in Tallon overworld, the music in the ice levels. Same is true for Demon's Souls. Like the Mind Flayer's bell in Tower of Latria.

For me Its Eve Online.

Demon Souls
Mass Effect 1
Also for all their flaws early AssCreed games had atmosphere locked down as well
Nolan Ross
its called art direction. It was brought to life and looks better than generic games these days.
Ryder Diaz
Early asscreed was just genuinely good though
Thomas Price
Crysis 1
Alpha Day Z mod
First Harry Potter game.
Kayden Nelson
I liked them but not everyone on Yea Forums agrees
Oliver Clark
Ezio trilogy is absolute kino. I think after that the series got progressively worse (Black Flag was the only one I bothered to play. I was really excited about the indian/civil war one but got bored pretty quick)
Zachary Peterson
Echoes and Corruption did it better but Prime couldn’t change the wheel too much because it was just shaking how Metroid could be 3D
John Foster
1- Bloodborne + DLC
2- Bloodborne
3- Bloodborne DLC

>missing the point entirely about what makes a game "atmospheric"
you didn't actually ponder OP's post, you just wanted an excuse to complain about metroid
