Nier just has an incredibly atmospheric way in which it handles music. Not to mention the OST is just flat out amazing.
The Hotline Miami series and Katana Zero really stand out to me. Hollow knight and Persona are also fantastic.
Katana Zero has a great soundtrack and fantastic gameplay.
Tarkov is known for how great the soundscape is. I highly recommend using the SPTarkov mod to play offline though.
Elite Dangerous is still the GOAT of sound design IMO. That game would be nothing without it's sound.
assetto corsa competizione
or really any quality racing game. its almost like 50% of my enjoyment
Literally bought it this weekend for the awesome force feedback. Blows F1 22 out of the water.
Max Payne 3. The soundtrack is amazing and blended perfectly into the game.
The soundscape and music of Inside is godly. Honestly I think half the game's atmosphere is the audio.
It's not gun sounds, but I always thought the entire soundscape in Journey was pretty special.
Tetris Effect on VR (ps/quest). think hypnotic trance
I don't care for the Warhammer universe, or Tactics games all that much. Tactics game Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus held my attention for far longer than it should have thanks to its incredible sound design.
The modern hitman trilogy had some really good sound design from my experience. Definitely recommended with a good pair of headphones. Realistic but also crisp.
Darkwood
For a unique take... The music and background sounds in Kenshi. Music is so sparse that when it does kick in, and how it kicks in, is just really unlike any other game.
Might not be in the way you're thinking but gtfo fits that description for me. You're creeping around listening for the sounds of the enemies waking up and every little sound has you on edge. At least when you first play it.
Devil Daggers has amazing sound design, and it has hrtf, so I could aim at some enemies blindly.
It's a small game though, and not for everyone.
@CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.ml, you're going to want in on this conversation.
