Dunno what sorts of games you like, but here are some I personally like for their atmosphere:

* Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
* Momodora III
* Metroid Fusion
* Inescapable
* Environmental Station Alpha

[No skill only Tiktok]

Bioshock games for sure

Would be useful to specify which genres you are into, other than just removing 3 games.

Any great game is likely "atmospheric" and "vibey", and there are hundreds of them out there.

Actually, it means nothing, because it can mean anything lol. Never really liked this tag, because it is completely abstract and vague.

So..? Interpret it. If a good enough number of people seem to interpret it the same way, you're probably on to something, even if it's tough to define.

But people are far from a consensus about this "atmospheric" tag, hence the problem.

I think OP is searching for a quality Indigo Gaming named "Ambience".
