MGS2 has my favorite atmosphere

The atmosphere of being stuck on this oil rig - basically a small, vacated industrial town - in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by misty air, flocks of squeaking seagulls, and waves as far as the eyes can see. Games in the early 2000s really had a knack for anything near/in water. Nobody’s around other than a few soldiers patrolling the area and the machinery humming in the background. It’s very comfy. All punctuated by a melancholic, bluesy soundtrack and great sound design, even the menu noises sound cool. It reminds me of a time when games didn’t rush to explain everything, when silence and space were part of the storytelling.
