What is an Atmospheric Game?

Atmospheric is a term often used to describe a video game that encourages a player’s imagination through the use of imagery, sound, and gameplay.

Some of gaming’s biggest names use atmosphere to leave long-lasting impressions, which is incidentally the overall goal of games. Franchises such as Mass Effect, Thief, and Metro, all use atmosphere in a way that puts players in an immersive state.

Whether its putting a player in an unlimited universe such as in No Man’s Sky, or dropping the player into a post-apocalyptic world in Fallout 4, successful games that use atmosphere make us feel small, insignificant, lonely, and allows us to expand on the story using the surroundings we’re offered to feed our imagination of what has been and what could be.

Horror games are commonly the perfect atmospheric games. Alien: Isolation is a wonderful, dark, and isolating game that puts the player in a constant state of fear, utilizing sound, or lack of, stealth mechanics, loneliness, and exploration.

Every genre has its games that use atmosphere to create story, setting and immersion. Your heart doesn’t have to beat fast to experience a game, but the best games drip-feed us little bits, keep us grounded in reality just a little, and give us the tools to explore ourselves and the world that we find ourselves in.

Why Are We Doing a Top 15 Atmospheric  Games List?

In the world of Atmospheric Games, fantastic games can be found at incredible prices but you can also be at a greater risk of being left disappointed.

Not all games reach their potential and get a release, unfortunately many games are left abandoned by their developers or are even released in a poor state and are yet still available to purchase on Steam.

Steam is in the business of selling games and sometimes that can mean a drop in quality in order to get more titles onto the Steam Store and available for purchase.

At Allkeyshop, we believe in quality over quantity and because of that we use every bit of data that Steam offers and we use that to provide the most detailed analysis of a game’s ranking.

How Do We Get Our Rankings?

Our rankings will take all available pieces of data into account, in particular we focus on the real ratings, real opinions and recommendations of those that play the game.

As a part of our ranking, we ensure that only those that own the game, have it currently available in their library and are logged into their account can vote for their favourite games. This, along with our other data, ensures we have the most accurate ranking system possible.

We only show the top 15 games so that you are not overwhelmed with hundreds of games and swamped in too much data. We plan on refreshing our top 15 each week, but we may change this plan if we find it has a real demand from you, our users.

Allkeyshop is a price comparator site with the intention of giving players the best price possible for the best games available. We remain fully impartial on prices and sellers, displaying both online sites and platforms such Steam, Origin and Epic, and we remain completely impartial on the rating of those games that we highlight in our rankings.

Our rankings are based on our users with no influence from us and we will remain impartial on the ratings and the rankings of all games.
