Love how often photos from inside CERN are indistinguisable from a sci-fi themed AAA game.

Cutting-edge engineering at its finest.

On that topic... Are there any games that plays out inside specifically CERN?

In Steins;Gate (VN/anime) a fictional CERN is the main antagonist https://steins-gate.fandom.com/wiki/SERN

Just a shot of the LHC though, no other scenes with their facilities.

Apparently CERN also appears its sister series Robotics;Notes, but I might play it someday so I won't spoil myself on how.

All I could think of was Half-Life. "Gordon!! The upstream extruded graphite disc has indeed been cracked!!"
