Anything with no BGM, whereas certain ports of the same game have upbeat music. Certain ports of Prince of Persia come to mind.

"Shadows of the Empire" possibly counts, because I personally found pic related fight far more terrifying than the sewer level, and the whole game has a kind of an eerie vibe.

Good choice. I played the SHIT out of that game when it came out, and it was hard. IG-88 is as far as I could make it on hard mode. I could not beat him. I could be the whole game on Expert, but not on hard because of that bastard.

Just shoot him at close range with the missiles, then finish him off with the pulse rifle.

This game really captured the authentic feel of Star Wars. Star Wars is like if cyberpunk met sword and sorcery.

all those rotoscope platformers seem to do this. it's kind of a weird subgenre that nobody talks about. tomb raider was basically prince of persia and flashback style gameplay but in 3D. abes oddysee is another one

They’re called cinematic platformers. I guess a lot of them don’t have background music in order to maintain the atmosphere.

This is a really good one. I’ve barely revisited this game since initially beating it, and it’s because of the oddly melancholic, desolate vibe it gave me.

I don't know if you could call it unintentionally scary, but the sewer, and later on final levels of Spider Man 2000 used to scare the shit out of me
