The only comment I really want to add to this thread is: Please don't fuck up the atmosphere.
The eerie silence of Necrum, the oppressive smoke rising from factories, the tense midnight escape through No-Man's Land, the serene-yet-unnerving silence of the empty wilderness, the menacing machinery dominating factory environments.
Everything is built up beautifully in these games. It comes from the sublime art direction, the uncompromising attention to detail, the intertwining of gameplay and storytelling, the vast landscapes briefly glimpsed in the far distance, but most of all the excellent worldbuilding.
And then we had Munch's Oddysee.
Don't be like Munch's Oddysee.
