What is your favourite location in a game and why?
Mine is the Bloom from Torment: Tides of Numenera. I love the fleshy bits. I love the everyday gruesome horror becoming an everyday thing for the people who live there. I love the literally organic surroundings. It's just by far my favorite location in any game ever. :)
Mine is the tournament boss level from path of exile. Can't remember the name of the boss but the whole level has this epic music and feel to it
Daresso, King of Swords, music definitely make it 100 times better, though that level is also cool by itself.
I have 2.
- Majula in Dark Souls 2
- Blackreach in Skyrim. Just getting there is immensely satisfying and it's so beautiful.
Q3DM17, "The Longest Yard". I've fought so many 1v1s there, it's one of the few fps maps that still regularly turns up in my dreams despite my haven't having Quaked for like 10 years now.
The All-Star Rest Area in Super Smash Bros Brawl. Extremely calming and oddly serene. Giving the player time to catch a breath between the breakneck All-Star fights. Stay as long as you want, and the music was very nice.
Shrine of Seven Stars in WoW.
Fallout 2's Enclave oil rig (Poseidon?) is pretty cool. I like how the guys who built the original oil rig put spooky faces on the big pipes, really shows an appreciation to their craft.
If you had the power to customize your piping you too would put a face on it! :P
Outside of whiterun with some graphics mods in skyrim. It's pretty. The night sky and foliage is really nice. Not much of a gamer anymore but I habitually return to skyrim.
Limgrave in Elden Ring because you open to door from the intro cave and you are "holy shit".
The "Bubble-Blowing Baby Hunt" level in the SpongeBob movie game. The music fits, it's not too hard to run through, and Patrick's moveset is so much better than in the previous game.
Il Mheg from FF14. Honorable mention to the Coral Highlands from MHW.
This place in bloodborne Although the whole fishing hamlet has a special place in my heart, from when i ised to read cosmic horror to fall asleep as a kid.
I still boot up The Secret World once in a while to hang out in their besieged farmlands area.
The whole game has great creepy places.
I wish they'd remake the combat cometely. A great game otherwise.
The Floating Magical Kingdom of Zeal from 12,000 BC in Chrono Trigger. They could achieve almost anything, but their greed, prejudice, and arrogance doomed them to a terrible fate that nearly killed all of humanity.
Great music - https://youtu.be/BXo3DrXHY8w Amazing art, writing, and aesthetic design. - https://chrono.fandom.com/wiki/Zeal
Good question. I like Beach Bowl Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy a lot. Love the tropical/beach setting combined with the space theme. I bet it would be awesome to lay on a cozy little beach that’s inside a big orb floating through space. Doesn’t get more relaxing than that.
