Much like Alien: Isolation, it's all about ambiance: You'll hear the echoes of the forest, the dripping of water, or the tweeting of birds all around on your 5.1, 7.1, or Dolby Atmos system as your front speakers play the game's beautiful soundtrack. Ori and the Will of the Wisps ( Xbox, PC): You might think a 2D side-scrolling platformer can't make much use for surround sound, but you'd be wrong.In multiplayer, surround sound allows you to hear other players behind you before they fire a shot, giving you a leg up on your enemies. In the single-player campaigns, surround sound makes you feel like you're right in the middle of the battlefield, with gunfire and bombs assaulting your ears from all sides-with a solid workout for your subwoofer too. Battlefield V ( PlayStation, Xbox, PC): Whether or not you're a fan of first-person shooters like Call of Duty and Battlefield, there's no denying that the cacophony of war makes for a great surround sound demo.It's hard to explain how good the sound design is for this game-you have to experience it yourself. Alien: Isolation uses your rear speakers to create a sense of space that a stereo setup just can't match: as you creep through the dark halls, you hear very little except the sound of your footsteps, the flickering of the emergency lights, and the echoes of the creaky station all around you-while you anxiously wait for a hiding Xenomorph to ambush you.

Even if you've played the campaign before, it's worth revisiting after you upgrade your sound system. After returning to the city, the Swarm attacks, and you hear them invade from all around your periphery during an intense action sequence that not only impresses your ears but also helps you locate your enemies in battle. In the first mission, you explore an abandoned facility that begins to crumble around you, with room-rumbling bass and falling debris coming from all around-including above, if you have an Atmos-capable setup.

And it supports Dolby Atmos, so if you're playing on an Xbox or PC with height channels, you'll get the full effect.

Your entire setup will get its due as you hear rocks falling behind you or the musical score filling your room at tense moments. Shadow of the Tomb Raider ( PlayStation, Xbox, PC): The modern Tomb Raider series is incredibly cinematic, so surround sound makes the game feel more movielike than ever.
