I personally always loved abandoned amusement parks

>>713383667 (OP)
Halloween/Haunted House themed levels make me happy

>>713383892
this, also abandoned hospitals

I also like parking lot levels where you get to the furthest part of the level and has to fight your way back.

>>713383667 (OP)
hospitals are always kino
fuck sewers, I don't recall a single good sewer level

Autumnal forests. Orange leaves, tree stumps, etc...
Beach levels are also usually pretty cool.

>>713384186
the suffering 2 and one of the REmakes have decent sewer sections I think

Give me more ocean.

>>713383667 (OP)
Love that shit too. Partially why I loved Sylvio and Crow Country so much. Abandoned areas are always cool

>>713383892
>>713384286
I need more more MORE.

>item behind waterfall
I will never not love this

the hitman series has a bunch of levels like that

>>713384883
>check every waterfall in the game
>no secret passage in any of them

Beaches, seaside, anything with sand and salty water with a strong tropical theme

>>713383667 (OP)
Love me some desert levels. Particularly in in 3D platformers.

>>713384883
Yes

>hallucination / dream / trip level
Especially when it's a twisted amalgamation of stuff you've seen already

>>713385063
Nah I hate dream levels therefore a big fuck you.

>>713383667 (OP)
For me, it's moving train levels.

anything with snow but no slippery ice

>sky level

name ONE (1) good one

>>713386024
that one final section in bioshock infinite that you fight in a blimp

>>713384186
I like clankers cavern

>>713386024
>kayava

I love when you are in a protagonist's or important character's room or apartment and you can click on things to comment about that thing
I dunno this is so comfy always
Seen in in Life is Strange, Uncharted, Disco Elysium, The Last of Us, SOMA (I think)

>>713384883
Slime Rancher 2 there is transition to an entire new island behind one waterfall

>>713386024
Flying Machine in Shovel Knight

>>713383667 (OP)
Kino trope locations:
Dense forest
Abandoned hospital/amusement park/arcade
Tropical beach or Egyptian desert
Corporate offices/facility
Suburban streets

Cringe trope locations:
Sewers
Caves
Demon realms
Swamps
Tundra/arctic

>>713388884
BASED

>anons telling their favorite vidya location

Another comfy thread ٩(^‿^)۶

>characters talking about an impossible mission and how everything is lost
>one of them says "unless.."

It is always good

>>713388884
>demon realms
>can be literally anything at all, zero restrictions
>they all look the fucking same

How do devs do it? Is there a council that mandates that every demon realm must be: Lava/desert hellscape+ ironworks + torture equipment and corpse decorations + edgy spikes and blades.

>>713388884
>Tundra/arctic
Whoa now nigga, lets not say anything we can't take back.
Phendrana Drifts was wonderful and a lot of Sonic snow/ice stages are great.

i love mansions but i wouldn't call it cliche
whats op game? looks familiar

>>713391217
"I guess we have no choice, we'll have to use...it"
"forgive me master, I have to go all out, just this once"
Hype

>>713391762
For me artic and snow levels tend to have 3 tedious things that I hate:
>Ultra low visability
>Movement speed slow
>Some sort of chill or cold mechanic that makes you run between campfires or locations to avoid dying.

>>713391778
Looks like The Darkness 2 based off the demon heads. Looks a lot like the KF 1/2 carnival event map too.

>>713391778
the darkness 2.
it also gets bonus points for having flashback sections where you play games with your gf.

>>713386024
Might Mnd magic 7
arguably end of Dungeon Master 2

>>713391996
>Looks like The Darkness 2 based off the demon heads.
fuck i'm blind
i didn't even notice the heads. sure its one of the darkness games
i didn't knew chatgp could directly tell you where to download abandoneware

>>713383667 (OP)
based, i just got past the amusement park in Nier Automata a few hours ago. this game has insane amounts of sovl

>>713386024
it was way too short but I liked Cloudbridge in Alice Madness Returns
>>713392197
DM2 is hard to say because while you're on a "cloudy" path there's no real ground to make what you're in a sky
also an enemy respawned and interrupted the fireball trap powering the crystal so now you're teleported out :^)

>beat the game
>MC waits for his imminent death
>it seems to be a downer ending

Player character is a small person/vehicle in a normal environment ala Micro Machines or Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue.

>>713383667 (OP)
>dense green forest with giant mushrooms you use as platforms
kino

>>713392612
dead space was so kino. real shame how 3 fucked it up

This shade of desert

Forest + Road. Usually gives horror setting in a distant town vibes.

City recovering from a frozen icestorm.
Very few characters around and mostly abandoned post-apocalyptic feeling.

>>713383667 (OP)
Nightclub Level.

>>713392612
should have been the end of Isaac and the series. Having him simply die there would have been a bitter sweet victory. Isaac returning as a corrupted host of the marker antagonist in a sequel would have been kino too.

My favorite is the seemingly unassuming town next to cataclysmic event or some megastructure.

>>713394150
i love seeing those shits
too bad i doubt i will ever travel there

>>713394150
>ah outsider, oh course, stay as long as you like...yes hehe...
>tread lightly friend, the streets are curse laden with a taint most foul
>The wells, ahhaha yes the wells, it comes from the wells ehehehe
>Outsider...come in...come in

>ruined city has vegetation growing over it
I love it every time

>>713384186
I kinda liked Oblvion's sewers because of how interconnected they were. You could sneak into multiple people's houses this way including some shops.

Capitalist burgerpunk.

Makeshift quarantine for an outbreak in extreme conditions. Like somewhere really humid or something.

>>713394921
>>713394459
>>713394150
I love it when the setting has normal people barely clinging onto sanity at the epicenter of a manifested putrid nightmare

horrible polluted industrial environment

>>713396804
Unkino
That's one of the laziest hack moves you can do, on the level of "dude le playing games is le escapism and it's le bad" or the stupid meta shit indie games like Undertale and Inscryption do about "dude they're totally real and devs are like gods what happens when you uninstall :OOOO"

>>713395147
as yes, why enter a buildings immediately and easily by lockpicking the door when you could spend an hour lost in the sewers trying to find a shop with nothing worth stealing in it

my favourite trope is when the shitty broken weapon you get at the start can be upgraded or exchanged much later on to become the single best weapon in the game.

>>713383667 (OP)
Iceland Lava and Ice Level.

>>713397040
This but party members instead of weapons

>>713396265
I was bizarrely obsessed with that train/tank level in Lylat Wars (Star Fox 64) as a kid
Something about it, not really sure what

>>713397040
this
going from bastard sword the to true heir is kino

>>713397257
This game was a fucking masterpiece.

One of the best dungeons in Harvestella. Shame more people didn't play that kino. I hope it gets a sequel with some rough edges polished.

any construction site level where you go trough an unfinished building fighting your way trough it.

>>713385375
In recent times Hell Train from TF2 is one of my favorite Train levels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O8Nyd_7XuI
And of course I love the classic Convoy but HellTrain gimmick is better.

>>713386024
Kingdom of Zeal
Sky Sanctuary
Sky Fortress
Aetherochemical Research Facility
Fractal Continuum (both versions)
Fuck you sky levels are the best levels.

>actual good video game thread
i still love you guys

Lisa was a rollercoaster of emotions.

Terr Bear

>>713386024
I liked cloudrunner fortress in starfox, the sky dungeon in twilight princess and there's another I can't remember

Solitary castle or temple away from civilization.

>>713383667 (OP)
Catastrophic breakdowns in large facilities, especially when emergency lights (bonus points for harsh reds) are one of your few remaining protections against darkness that would otherwise swallow you up. Stuff like the beginning of Doom 3 or the end of F.E.A.R.
Or maybe I'm more just a sucker for top secret research facilities, a mix of sterile science labs and gritty industry/maintenance

>>713398909
that looks like something form halflife

>>713388884
swamps are always great

The guy you responded to posted a very good example of a demon realm that isn’t like that at all

>>713386024
sky levels are not that bad

finding a good sewer or water level is the real challenge.
