Great audio design can make a level feel alive from wind rustling through leaves to distant machinery hums. Which independent title nailed the subtleties of environmental and reactive sound, pulling you deeper into its universe? Did footsteps echo just right? Were creatures’ calls perfectly timed?

Hollow Knight's sound design is incredible. The echoing cavern drips, the rustling of creatures, and the clinks of combat create a truly palpable and immersive world.

Firewatch's audio design captured the isolation of Wyoming wilderness perfectly. The walkie-talkie static, distant thunder, crackling campfires, and the way sounds echo through canyons or get muffled in dense forest areas made me genuinely feel miles from civilization with only Delilah's voice for company.
