An atmosphere can give the environment a character all on its own. Games like BioShock, Fallout, and The Elder Scrolls are characters all their own thanks to the atmosphere they give off. It can be scary, bright and vibrant, or desolate and empty. A great atmosphere sucks you into the game and makes you aware of everything around you. Very few games can pull this off.
Metro: Last Light
Metro 2033 was the most atmospheric game of 2010 and it’s no different here. Last Light is deadly and scary. It constantly makes you aware of the darkness and makes you fear it like no other game. You feel alone, scared, and just downright frightened.
