Hm ...
Bioshock Infinite: Welcome Scene in the beginning. I just stood there for a while, awe-struck, overwhelmed by the solemnity, gazing at the halls, listening to the sacral choirs, feeling a mixture of wonder, calm and unease.
Diving in Abzu and Subnautica, marveling at the colorful scenery, listening to the relaxing sounds and music, seeing something huge swim by in the distance or suddenly hearing a scary noise for the first time.
Crypts in Arx Fatalis. Atmosphere was so good, it really creeped me out. Usually crypts are nothing special in RPGs and seldom scary, but this one was, even after I saw through how it was scripted. It actually made me a bit hesitant to move forward. :D (The sound design is pretty good overall, in other levels as well.)
