Resident Evil 4 is strangely atmospheric and immersive for a third person shooter. A real slow burn. The game starts off as a boring and mundane. As you keep walking you walk into a groggy foggy environments full dead plant life. The further you go the more you see strange things like upper middle class villages attached to farms. Resident Evil will keep flowing on and on like nothing. Much later Leon will walk into dark rainy locations where the skies are grey. Without much introduction you'll come across Granados and monsters of all types. Hellish chainsaw dualling ladies. This is held up by the things that you hear. You hear everything. Crashes of thunder, the revs of chainsaws all make the world just so tense. Not just scary but suspenseful. You are mostly alone. You walk with Ashley who is really hard to be around. Leon guides Ashley
Running through wet dripping caves.
Eventually after leaving a toxic environment full of murder and hatred Leon will arrive at a save room with type writer by candle light. Leon can type his save point. Leon walks outside the save point and no matter where he is Leon will be in a cold dangerous hateful environment.
The world is seamless

Similar to that in Resident Evil 4 you play as a soulless cretin who becomes a strong warrior. In Dark Souls the world is just filled with nothing but dark morose.

There is no music 90% of the time.
