The atmosphere in the games. What is it?

You can, with some stretch, consider that the atmosphere is the ability of the project to make the player perceive the adventures of the game's heroes as their own. Moreover, it depends on the level of intelligence of the test subject, give the "real kid" at least something, his reinforced concrete worldview will not move a single micron. Therefore, they do not like quests, horror, RPG, visual novels, they do not feel anything in them and simply cannot try on someone else's skin. But simple competitive disciplines come with a bang, the counter with DotA and other tanks clearly demonstrate this.
