>>258237124
You forgot desert levels, which should be in shit tier.
Water levels should be in shit tier too
>teleporter maze
I like industry levels, but it's hard to pull off. You have the ability to have a lot of background animation and intricacy in the level design, but if you approach it like any other level it ends up being a grey muddy mess.

Did your dad die in a haunted factory accident?
Haunted levels are shit because they usually go hand in hand with the warp portals. Otherwise I wouldn't mind.
its not the type of level itself but how well its done. there are garbage lava levels and there are incredible lava levels, etc
>>258237476
Nah, it's pro-fun. A level that has the capacity to change on the fly and actually have an excuse for it, with a wide variety of mechanics that, again, is reasonable for the level itself and doesn't break suspension of disbelief? That has the capacity to have a lot of motion, and even interaction, with the background? Potential for industrial soundtrack? Fantastic.
A level that has a bunch of turning gears in the background with the occasional smokestack and yellow sky? Wasted potential.
>>258237641

Snow Levels = Elder God Tier
I like them all!
Add Level That Takes Place Inside a Giant Fish to shit tier and we're golden

Are we talking about the same thing here? Since when has a teleporter maze ever done anything like that?
>>258237124

this game had all the best levels
subways, african slaughterhouse, train, arctic fortress, kosovo fortress
including a castle as the last level
>>258238285
The one time i had to use a guide for that game was in that dungeon, I think for the boss key. You had to push something in a specific direction that the room made you think was wrong. Logically it looked like it was supposed to be pushed in the opposite direction. Spent a good two hours trawling the dungeon before deciding to use a guide.
The setting was still awesome/spooky though, despite the frustration

I'm OK with this.
Forest levels suck.
>>258239341
Moving vehicle levels are always GOAT. Nothing's more intense than jumping from train to train while fending off bad dudes.
>>258239341
I can name several games with train levels. Syphon Filter 3, Pandora's Tomorrow, Blacklist, Goldeneye, Impossible Mission
>>258239341
Blood had a pretty bitching train level as well. But are there enough of good ones for them to be God Tier or are they Medium?
Also I forgot to add Carnival levels. I'm biased in that they look fun but I'm still undecided if they are good gameplay wise.

Bump Industry and Haunted levels up one or two notches
Put Water in shit Tier
So according to this Uncharted 2 is GOTY tier in terms of its levels
What about places like the Azure Rainforest in Etrian Odyssey 1/Untold? The series definitely has its fair share of "stock" areas (the first one is almost certainly a forest), but they usually have some nice twists on things.
Sorry for the low-quality picture.

Literal shit tier.
>>258240303
Fuck you
I want to say Hospital levels are great, but I can't remember much outside of Silent Hill that uses them and then it could fall under haunted.

What about levels where you're inside a giant organism and its white blood cells are trying to kill you?

>>258241154
I think it falls in line with the Level That Takes Place Inside a Giant Fish.
Am I the only one who fucking loves factory-themed or mechanical themed levels? Specially if they have a mechanical sounding music
>>258237124
Poison levels are the worst, yet it seems like every develepor feels obligated to make one
Sewer should be the lowest tier all by itself.

>Burger tier

>>258240493
Level that takes place inside a giant fish's brain
Mediocre tier
>>258240493
Well if someone whose taste is so shit that they don't put Haunted in God Tier is making this list it will never be good.
>>258241304
The fact that there's nothing particularly good about them. The only good Desert levels I can think of is the Mario 3 one with the angry sun, and that's only because of the angry sun. They usually feel like levels where the developers decided that their brains could go on a quick break.
Feel free to prove us wrong and I'll change it accordingly.
I don't think I want to bother adding Sewer levels since they are such utter shit that they aren't even worth mentioning.
>>258241208

>Skeleton Cave (????? (?????????) S?s? no Gaikutsu, lit. "Skeleton Cave of Funeral") is a location in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. In the game it is described as a mysterious temple that was built by a horde of skeletons who rose from their graves one moonlessnight. It is filled with walking skeletons who regularly leave to rob more graves or kill victims to add more bones to the cave. It is unknown what possesed so many skeletons to rise and do such a thing, but the cave is ruled by the massive insect Man Eater who must use a large skull as a shell. One thing to be noted is that some parts of the cave have the bones arranged in very decorative creative ways, while others have them just in piles on the floor, implying some inteligent thought on behalf of the undead horde.

I can dig that. Doesn't matter if it's still in use, abandoned, or haunted, carnivals are always cool levels. The carnival level in SC: Conviction was great.
