Atmospheric Games

I know this is pretty vague, I just wanted to list the games that I think have a really strong atmosphere.
One that leaves you emotionally drained and satisfied when you have played them for a while ...
or scared and exhausted.

P.S.: I do not even like some of those games (f.e. Gone Home.). But their atmosphere is still very impressive, so I decided to add them to the list.

Good list, i think we slightly differ on how we define atmosphere. I think you should try Stalker series if you haven't, its very flawed but you will find it has its charm, and the atmosphere is chief kiss, its really top tier imo. You can even watch a clip on youtube and you will probably notice how atmospheric it is.
:D

I tried the first STALKER but really could not get the hang of the gameplay and what I was supposed to be doing.
The game came in this weird transitional peroid for 3D Games in the mid 2000s.

I will try out STALKER 2 for sure though^^ Maybe that can draw me in.
