Games with great environments

[Gwen]

Really surprised no one has said it yet, but I will. Dark Souls! Specifically the first installment. I'm not even speaking from and aesthetic stand point. The design of the levels themselves is just beautiful. Everything interconnects. EVERYTHING. Also one of my favorite features. If you see something in the sky box, chances are you'll be going there at some point, if you didn't just come back from it, with no zoning in between.

Really? From what I've seen of Dark Souls, it looks like Real is Brown at its finest.

If you think Dark Souls is just a swathe of brown, you should probably play it first, it has plenty of color. Granted, it's not exploding with color, but it's far from AGES OF BROWN: THE BROWN EDTION, BROWNER THAN ANY OTHER BROWN, BROWN IN IT.
