And a whole lot more.
God, I love that nest level in alien isolation. It's so atmospheric.
Yeah, as soon as I went down into the nest, I knew Alien: Isolation was one of my favorite games of all time.
Dishonored: Lady Boyle's Last Party
Mass Effect 2: Lair of the Shadow Broker
Crystal Maze: Grand Theft Auto V
Priority: Tuchanka: Mass Effect 3
I pay more attention to the overall quality of the game rather than the quality of each level (with Mass Effect and episodic games being the exception.) So I'm just going with levels I've played like a thousand times or just really really enjoy overall.
Fort Frolic - Bioshock
Fontaine Futuristics - Bioshock 2
The Silent Cartographer - Halo
All Ghillied Up - Call of Duty 4
Silph Co. - Pokemon R/B
Mordin's Loyalty Mission - ME2
Too many from ME3 to name, but the Tuchanka Bomb one comes to mind.
The Masquerade - Dragon Age III
The Paleto Job - GTA V
The GTA V mission where you hijack the Cargo Plane.
I fucking loved Fort Frolic in BioShock. Sander Cohen was also my favorite character in the whole game, if not the whole franchise.
Starting back from memory...
Way back when I was a wee tyke with huge aspirations of slacking and playing games all day (now I just drink), I had a couple childhood friends that lived two doors down from my place and they owned a PlayStation. I can remember playing the first couple levels of Spyro 2, and I remember every detail about Glimmer.
I also remember a lot about Twisted Metal 3 and 4, especially that sick ass Christmas themed level...
A few years later I would get a PlayStation 2 for Christmas and one of the first games with it was Jak and Daxter, I remember the boss fight with Korr and it taking me hours to beat at the time. I can account the whole game though almost blindfolded at this point.
Siberia from Timesplitters 2 was a phenomenal first level to the game and I spent a long time perfecting it on hard, it being one of my first experiences journeying to the "difficult" setting in a game.
Some time later, I can also remember playing Max Payne and several levels standing out. Not surprisingly one of the more prominent being Ragna Rock was fucking atmospheric as shit and the soon following nightmare chapters. Come to think of it, I find that I retained the final act more for some odd reason more than the beginning... The Backstabbing Bastard mission, the Byzantine Game(?), and the last levels in the Valkyr building.
Many many Ratchet and Clank levels, in fact... My favorite is and will always be Kalebo III from the first game. Fuck that level was emasculating.
Also, I count recount so many of the older Tony Hawk games. Namely Pro Skater 4 (Zoo fucking level), Underground, and especially Underground 2 being one of my favorite games of all time to date. By the way, when the fuck are they making and HD port of those games? Not shit butchered ports or a new awful abomination? I want THUG2HD dammit!
So some time after those, I can now say I remember with great fondness one of the greatest sewer levels ever is in Mirror's Edge.
That's about it really.
Edit: Also, the final push onto Coronel Conrad's compound including the after credits in Spec Ops: The Line, all being amazingly well made levels. One of the greatest endings to a game ever.
I also loved Siberia 1990 in TS2, alongside Chicago 1932 and Notre Dame 1895. Also the 1965 Mansion and 1970 Chinese Restaurant levels in the first game. Hoping someday we get a new Timesplitters game.
The End Boss Battle in MGS3, still my favourite entry in the Metal Gear series. The concept of a boss fight which takes time and strategy and the fact your opponent is an old man with solar power, never mind the fact he CAN SNEAK UP ON YOU WHILST YOU'RE NOT PLAYING. All the MGS boss fights are good, especially in MGS3, but he's my favourite.
Tuchanka is a great one. So emotional.
I love Lady Boyle's Last Party, damn that was a good mission.
The first one I think of are two missions in CoD4, All Ghillied Up and One Shot, One Kill.
I've played All Ghillied Up at least 30 times and it never gets old, there are so many factors that go into what makes it so great, the music, atmosphere, voice acting, the stealth...ugh. It's just so damn good. I don't think I've ever felt emotion like that in a CoD game... I remember walking past a swing set and you hear the echoes of kids playing in a past Chernobyl... bits like that made me shudder and it's just damn excellent.
One Shot, One Kill is the follow up to that mission and is also excellent. The perfect blend of stealth and action.
I have more from other games but they really can't compare.
I know right? I know that mission like the back of my hand, I've played it so many times. It was very creative and unique and definitely stood out the most. (For me at least.)
