Best Atmospheric Ambient Games on PC

DeepStates [VR]

(Received this for free thanks to the thoughtful developer, after I provided a bunch of feedback during the ‘beta’. I had been planning to buy this on release and I think the asking price is just right!).

Absolutely stunning (highly realistic) environmental beauty, not just in visual fidelity but in sound, space, and spirit.

I’ve played and enjoyed a variety of ‘environment’ apps in VR, and none of them have impacted me like this. I’m on the Reverb G2, and these spaces feel so incredibly real I almost cried just looking out at the stars and moon from the desert landscape.

This is a great vr experience, my favorite worlds were the planet and the time lapse area. The guided meditation worked surprisingly well, especially with the humming interaction, that was awesome. The mixing of the voice kind of knocked me out of it though the more I heard it. I feel like it’s too present, too much low end EQ and not enough verb. It sounds like someone speaking right next to your ear when it might be more comfortable for it to sound like it’s coming from the heavens. And maybe some gentle effect that quickly ramps up into the voice to let you know you’re about to hear it so it’s less alarming when it starts. Comfort adjustments worked great, the strobing effect was super intense (which is a good thing, I’d rather have effects like that come in strong and be able to dial them back with settings). Great work, this is awesome and I look forward to what worlds you build next.

Orbit HD

Tags: Casual - Flinger & Object Routes

Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library

TLDR: Orbit management game that punishes the player for interacting with the game. Play Rotastic instead for a more engaging derivative of this.

Orbit is a game in which a number of planets are on a map. Your little moon gets thrust in the general orbit of the first planet, and through unity engine physics you loop around said celestial bodies until you reach a fixed quota.

You can adjust the orbit orientation by… expending part of the mass of the moon, shedding some of it to change direction. The moon shrinks, which if not done very carefully, will guarantee that you will shrink out before you reach your quota.

Bloat

I usually play puzzle games to relax after work.

This game is amazing. It’s both really calming and aesthetic in every way. The music and scenery is really original and both perfectly complement each other.

The tutorials are easy to follow and intuitive, so both children and adults can play and enjoy.

I find gameplay is a great experience overall and so far (I have yet to finish it) the difficulty is a perfect ramp up for where you are in the game. Showing mechanics as you progress in a slow and understanding fashion.

Loved it!

Good puzzles, but not too hard. So it’s one of those rare games that can give you a challenge, but you can actually beat it!

I love short games that don’t waste my time, and don’t have bugs.

This is why I love indie games.

Also amazing soundtrack. Spotify when??

Sudokolorful

It’s a very relaxing game. Perfect for when you just want to chill out and still exercise your brain a little. I liked the idea of a color-based Sudoku. It would be interesting if we had an option for customizing our own palettes.

Fool’s Paradise

Fool’s Paradise is a beautiful indie game. I liked everything about it: atmosphere, music, puzzles. I recommend buy this game. 10/10

– Real player with 6.5 hrs in game

This game…. in simple words.. painful. Unfortunately i thought it would be a fun indie game to checkout but after playing it for about an hour and getting nowhere I am calling this a bust. The camera and motion controls are lacking. Interacting with objects is awful. Its makes noises like you have done something but nothing occurs. There is no clear direction and although in most games that take that approach this is a subtle suggestion on flow to the story where as this game has not flow at all. Honestly its like painful. I don’t want to crush developers but in this case it needs some TLC. Def not trying again.

Osmos

Osmos, a place where zen and chaos meet in perfect harmony. This is challenging title with near endless possible solutions if you’ve the patience to float your way to find them and achieve victory. Currently sold on steam stores for £7.19, it is a fine addition to any puzzling/physics-based gamers library, albeit a little pricey for a game of its age. Available on PC and now updated for newer version Mac’s as of 2019.

Released in 2009, I bought Osmos a year after release, which feels now like a great many years ago. I found comfort in the ambience and challenge in the controllable pace, which challenged my younger self’s hubris and rewards my older self’s ability in employing patience to see how things unfold over time.

The principle of this game is fairly easy: you start off as a small sphere shaped object (I call it the “cell”) and seek to be the largest object on the rectangular shaped map. The rules are simple: if you touch a cell smaller than you in dimensions, you consume the counterpart and grow larger. If you make contact with a larger object, you will be consumed. You can move only by discharging mass from within your cell in the opposite direction you wish to move along. The repulsive force will accelerate your movement. Of course this will make you shrink and be exposed to new threats. So you better not waste too much mass. You are given only one tool and that is the control over the pace of time.

SOULBOUND

For starters, this is quite a linear platformer, not a metroidvania.

There big checkpoints indicating a shift in the “level” and sometimes mini checkpoints which you can get a save point. The goal is to collect three “souls” which act as keys for the next level. Without them, you can’t move on. So within the level you must pick up the souls and come back to the exit to move on.

There are no permanent upgrades. Just “powerups” to pick up with one time use like double jump. The problem lies with the time rewind power up. There was hardly a tutorial on it and when it expects you to use it, it expects you to use it the right way. If not, it doesn’t respawn again and your only option is suicide and restart from the checkpoint.

Elder Puzzle

Let me start off by saying, the achievement Level 11 is glitched. Even after completing every level I still can’t get it to pop so that is a little annoying. However, the game is actually pretty fun. The puzzles don’t take too long but they are quite enjoyable and well put together. The game is rather short but is pretty fun for $0.50 or $1.

Elder Puzzle is a “template flip”, that is to say, it’s a “game” that has been produced by copying a game template or using a game construction kit, and changing a few things. In this case it was a game construction kit/template for doing a simple jigsaw puzzle game with retro pixel “art” pictures.

This is deplorably low quality bundle trash. No professional effort was made in terms of game development, copying a template/using a game construction kit requires no talent, and unsurprisingly produces products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. It’s almost as bad as an outright asset flip.
