I enjoy the Dark Souls games and Halo Reach, it's the atmosphere is telling of a despairing world, where things are grim. Any upgrades that you get are merely a tool to provide you with a sense of survival rather than a power fantasy.
Halo Reach is one of my favourite games because you see bystanders caught in the crossfire of a covenant invasion and really feel the impact of the damage and devastation. I prefer this over traditional Halo as it mostly takes place on a battlefield or covenant ship.
having the setting take place in a civilian city and protecting it and feeling powerless to defend it against overwhelming odds is satisfying and provides a sense of grand scale and epicness. Halo Infinite will not give me that feeling and is targeting nostalgia of Halo 1 which is okay but to me never really sold it.
Dark Souls is fantastic as there is a sense of age and erosion, great battles took place, areas are booby-trapped and the undead parade the ruins. There is something about once-great cities brought upon destruction that feels satisfying as they were once lived in and have a sense of history.
The open space of land feel empty and devoid of history, just some open space, there isn't a building or structure that give meaning or history and it feels bland. Dark Souls have mazes that twist and turn and provide unexpected shortcuts.
Anyway, are there any games that can give you that sense of despair? It seems like overcoming odds or going through when the world has got it the worse gives one a sense of survival.
