By ambiance I mean the way the game is made you feel either tense or adventurous, depending on how the sound effects are made, what kind of music is played, the way the visuals are displayed, whether there are things hiding in the shadows, secret passages, those kinds of things. Metroid is all about that, especially Super Metroid, but Metroid Prime did that pretty well too. |
That is the esthetics, and how does Metroid trump that of Shadow of the Colussus, which is universally agreed to be the best game ever made for showing how esthetics can tell the story rather than words.
