STALKER SOC and COP are incredibly immersive, especially when just exploring around and looking to make a little side money. The world is so apathetic to your existence. It’s terrifying how fragile you are. Going through the woods and hearing or thinking you hear the sound of some mutant is paranoia inducing.

Multiplayer, but Rising Storm 2: Vietnam has had some hugely immersive moments especially with active commanders and squad leader chatting. One of my most vivid memories is attempting to assault a Vietnamese position but our commander had mistakenly calling in napalm too close and ended up taking out our own side. I just barely escaped the flames but saw many other troops die with NPCs screams. Over the chat somebody brilliantly recited, “That fucked up fire mission got a lot of good men killed, sir.” Perfect.
