411mania: Hello everyone, I hope it has been a good week for all the readers out there. This is the 411 Games Zone Top 5 where 411 writers get to make lists on a different topic each week. This week, with Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin coming out, we are doing the Top 5 Most Atmospheric Games. Merriam-Webster defines atmospheric as having, marked by, or contributing aesthetic or emotional atmosphere also : marked by an emphasis on impression or tone.
Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that cumulative shipments of "SILENT HILL 2" (PlayStation®5, Steam®), which was released on Tuesday, October 8th last year, have surpassed 2 million copies shipped worldwide.
For Konami to release the numbers i assume it means it's a success. They better let bloober team make more silent hill remakes or a new silent hill.
Still need to buy it. Want to buy new, physical, but can't really justify it right now.
VGChartz's Chinh Tran: "In 2024, the candidates for Best Action/Adventure Game of the Year once again showed the versatility found in this genre. MachineGames masterfully showed off how first-person shooters can indeed be grand adventures, through Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Nintendo gave Princess Zelda her due, giving her the protagonist treatment in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Ninja Theory finally released the stunning graphical showcase of Senua's Saga: Hellblade II. And finally, Bloober Team proved the legacy of the Silent Hill franchise is in capable hands with a stunning remake of Silent Hill 2."
The Outerhaven: As the year comes to a close, here are The Outerhaven's 2024 games of the year. We hope you find new favorites as you play through the best games of the year.
Playing WuKong right now and I would put it on this years list best games. I wouldn’t trick it at the top but towards the top. It’s pretty damn good. I’d kick off World of Warcraft as I hated it when it came out, a too easy version of Everquest with cartoony style.
I agree with the list but am shocked to see the Metro Redux didn't make the cut, Metro is dripping with atmosphere and has made me jump so many times. To me it is a master piece.
Ok. Bioshock is my number 1. But not a single Soul's game. Bloodborne is absurdly atmospheric.
I love Mass effect and it's story, but I think of Rapture, Yarnham and single complex locale when I think of atmospheric.
