So I finally joined current gen (Wii U) not withstanding) and bought a PS4 and 10 games.
This is the first game I'm playing and so far the atmosphere is magnificent. Playing it with the lights out and volume up, I can only hack it for about 30 mins at a time.
The sound design is fantastic with groans and creaks and clanking coming from unknown parts of the base/ship that really makes you proceed with caution and wonder what the hell is going on and what might be around the next corner. I'd rank this game up there with Fatal Frame 2 as one of the most scarily atmospheric games I've played.
Creative Assembly really nailed the feeling of being stuck on a rapidly detiorating ship in the middle of space. Nice little touches like doors opening as you walk past them only serve to put you more on edge and the lighting and particle effects are very well done.
Overall, I'm simultaneously enjoying the game and feeling tense so I guess it's had the desired effect!
