The Abandoned Laboratory is a common setting in Speculative Fiction. But when you place it into a video game, it becomes quite the tour of science gone horribly wrong.
Usually a task set out after finding rumors about a Mad Scientist. You decide to head to the Abandoned Laboratory, where you are greeted by hostile security units who do not want you to enter the deeper parts of the lab. They are often however no match for whatever lies below, whether it be discarded Super-Soldier projects, sentient robots who plan to exterminate all life, or horrible masses of biological life which smell dinner. Often they are an evolutionary sort, starting out with rejected lifeforms and ending up as deadly beings which have exceeded the creator's ambitions and can more than easily kill the hero in a heartbeat. Card Keys are a common staple of these wretched labs. Often, logs will lie about, speaking of first pride and then terror of their author's scientific pursuits.
Along the way, as you travel across the lab, you will go from a relatively sanitary environment to one where it feels disgusting just stepping on the ground. Vats full of the specimens lie dormant or are deceased due to being failures (however, if they are less than human, expect them to break free to start munching on something), bits of Techno Wreckage lie about as you realize you are near the scientist or his ultimate creation, which will grant the following...
A Sealed Good in a Can, which obviously joins you.
The place becomes a Collapsing Lair, forcing you to get the hell out of Dodge.
You recover a biological MacGuffin.
A massive organic blob awakens, planning to turn you to genetic material.
Motive Rant (You better get comfortable).
See also Mad Scientist, For Science!. Also overlaps with Abandoned Hospital in some cases, with the hospital residents being used as test subjects.

The Splatterhouse series often takes place in such a level. Mainly because the mansion is/was used by Dr. West as a lab, and now is filled with monsters and demons.

Every game in the Metroid Prime Trilogy features at least one, usually belonging to the Space Pirates at some point. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption also featured a few that belonged to the Galactic Federation and the Elysians, while Metroid Prime: Hunters features two such labs that once belonged to the Alimbics (the Celestial Archives and the Vesper Defense Outpost).

Sluggy Freelance: These are the primary legacy of Orsintos Labs, an FBI initiative to research paranormal leads by any means necessary. Of their bases, we've seen a zombie research site that was taken over by the zombies, a facility built to house a thaumaturgical experiment that ended up getting everyone killed, and a center for studying ghosts and various psychic powers, demolished aboveground, leaving only a dungeon furnished with torture equipment.

This is common in the games, with the earliest example being Tourian in the first game. Tourian would appear again in Super Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission, the latter of which is a remake of the first game; both of these later games make clear that the reason Tourian is abandoned is that the Metroids escaped and killed off the Space Pirates.

Apex Legends:
Singh Labs in King's Canyon, where ARES Division scientists experimented with Phase technology and created a vortex-like portal. It's poorly-lit, disused, and central to the labs' underground area is a menacing-looking test bed with multiple needles pointed to its seat.
Olympus is effectively a massively upscaled version of this trope, most evidently in the science-y POIs such as Hammond Labs (a modern architecture lab with a large hologram display) and Hydroponics (a field of green pools, adjacent to underground bunkers). That said, it only fits the strictest definition of this trope: the location is actually quite pleasant to be in, and was previously used as a resort after its abandonment.

Gadgetron Facility on planet Barlow in Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando has been abandoned by Gadgetron after Mega-Corp has driven it out of business. Since then it has been overrun by local tribesmen as well as Gadgetron Hounds of Cuddly Death, Gadgetron-designed pets that have gone feral. You can also find there a scientist that froze himself with his invention (which you need to progress through the game).

Metroid Fusion takes place entirely on one of these; B.S.L, a large space station full of various creatures from across the galaxy. Sector 1 is a recreation the Metroids' homeworld, and is a pretty straightforward cave area. Sector 2 is a tropical area. Sector 3 is half desert and half lava. Sector 4 is aquatic. Sector 5 is frozen over, and Sector 6 is dark and nocturnal.

Metroid: Other M takes place in a station quite similar to the one from Fusion, used as a laboratory for researching biological weapons. In fact, it appears to be the predecessor to the secret research carried out on the B.S.L station. The specific sectors intersect with other tropes: Jungle Japes (Biosphere), Slippy-Slidey Ice World (Cryosphere), and Lethal Lava Land (Pyrosphere).

Resident Evil:
The Underground Laboratory, first explored in Resident Evil 2, appears in three games and possibly Resident Evil 0 as wellnote Its appearance in that game created a Plot Hole as to its location and, with no concrete proof it's the same facility, fans are divided on whether it is or a similar facility elsewhere.
This is evoked by the "Dead Factory" in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, where it was a fully functional disposal facility and research center that was disguised as an abandoned water treatment center as a cover to keep a big fence around the place and keep both civilians and officials out. A file found in the place even outlines what they do with trespassers who want to explore the creepy "abandoned" lab: they're either shot or captured and used as guinea pigs. Of course, by the time Jill and Carlos get there, it's abandoned for real. By the living, at least.

The True Lab from Undertale, is not technically abandoned (Alphys still goes there from time to time) but is still worn down, dark and dirty and has been left unused for a long time, and is full of creepy-looking machines, logs about Alphys' experiments with Determination, and the Amalgamates, the terrifying (but largely harmless) results of those experiments.

Fallout has plenty of Vaults that turned out like this when whatever mad science experiment they were running wiped out the inhabitants. Of course, most Vaults qualify in a way since nearly all of them were twisted social experiments disguised as bomb shelters.

All the BioShock games have them, given the sheer setting (an Underwater City in the 50s and a Floating city in the late 19th century) implies there will be anachronistic science - and along with making the locations possible, the scientists also created the mutagenics that give both the player character and the enemies powers and some scary biomechanical mooks such as the Big Daddy and the Handyman.

In the original Portal, this is somewhat misleading, as GLaDOS is still maintaining the test area (where the player spends the majority of his/her time in) where everything is as white and shiny as an iPod. It's a little weird that you never see people behind those frosted observation windows, but other than that the place seems to be in good shape. Then the player finally reaches the last chamber where GLaDOS tries to kill you, and during your escape through the unmaintained area, you finally get a sense of how long this place has been abandoned.

Even more so in Portal 2 where GLaDOS is dead, it's "nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine" days later, and the science facility is run-down and overgrown by plants in some places. And then you find the original labs beneath the modern facility, which really takes the cake. By the look of things, those were used in the 1950s and abandoned much later.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind has Kagrenac's Workshop and Kagrenac's Library, located within two different Dwemer ruins around the Red Mountain volcano. Kagrenac was the Dwemer master crafter who devised a means to tap into the Heart of Lorkhan, the still-beating heart of the "dead" creator god. Whatever he did, it caused the entire Dwemer race to blink out of existence in a single instance all across Tamriel. Given that the game takes place some 4000 years after these events, these ruins aren't full of any nasties that Kagrenac created...but are populated by Big Bad Dagoth Ur's twisted ash creatures. You'll need to visit each if you are completing the main quest via the "backpath" method in order to acquire Kagrenac's notes.

Ragnarok Online features multiple.
The first one is Biolab dungeon, the most famous of all abandoned lab dungeon in the game, due to its status as endgame dungeon. Many clones of spirits belonging to past human experiments roam the area, and the ones on deeper floors are so powerful, that the final floor cannot be accessed through a simple warp point like the previous floors, instead it has a separate entry point via an NPC outside the dungeon, to prevent unprepared players from accidentally walking into it.
The second one is the lab OPTATIO in the wreckage of Verus, which is a highly advanced civilization from hundreds of years ago, doomed by their own technology malfunctioning and causing a huge explosion. Verus was so advanced that the explosion was caused by their computers overheating and malfunctioning in their attempt to connect into another dimension, 500 years before the medieval-like era that the game is set in. And yet, despite the explosion, their robots not only survived, but also still actively the area to this day, although most of them malfunctioned and attacked everyone.
The third one is Werner's Laboratory. Which is actually not entirely abandoned, at least until you finished the quest and Werner fled from the place. After that, the only ones in the lab are lots of cloned monsters implied to be past experiments, and few agents trying to secure the place, with you in the role of helping them.

Metroid:
This is common in the games, with the earliest example being Tourian in the first game. Tourian would appear again in Super Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission, the latter of which is a remake of the first game; both of these later games make clear that the reason Tourian is abandoned is that the Metroids escaped and killed off the Space Pirates.
Metroid Fusion takes place entirely on one of these; B.S.L, a large space station full of various creatures from across the galaxy. Sector 1 is a recreation the Metroids' homeworld, and is a pretty straightforward cave area. Sector 2 is a tropical area. Sector 3 is half desert and half lava. Sector 4 is aquatic. Sector 5 is frozen over, and Sector 6 is dark and nocturnal.
Every game in the Metroid Prime Trilogy features at least one, usually belonging to the Space Pirates at some point. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption also featured a few that belonged to the Galactic Federation and the Elysians, while Metroid Prime: Hunters features two such labs that once belonged to the Alimbics (the Celestial Archives and the Vesper Defense Outpost).
Metroid: Other M takes place in a station quite similar to the one from Fusion, used as a laboratory for researching biological weapons. In fact, it appears to be the predecessor to the secret research carried out on the B.S.L station. The specific sectors intersect with other tropes: Jungle Japes (Biosphere), Slippy-Slidey Ice World (Cryosphere), and Lethal Lava Land (Pyrosphere).
Metroid: Samus Returns, the official remake of Metroid II: Return of Samus, reimagines Area 7 (the Omega Metroid territory) as the laboratory where the Metroid species was created. It also happens to host the most powerful form of Metroid bar the Queen (the Omega Metroids).
Metroid Dread has two of these in the form of Dairon and Burenia. Dairon was used by the Mawkin Chozo as a robot factory and and bioweapon development lab, but is now run amok with hostile robots and Bioweapon Beasts. Overlapping with Under the Sea, Burenia is a marine research lab that has since been flooded in some areas and infested with hostile marine life.
AM2R, the fan-remake of Metroid II: Return of Samus, has the G.F.S. Thoth: a ship used as a mobile research station by the federation scientists who went to SR388. By the time you arrive the lights are out, the place is trashed, and everyone's dead, and it's not long before you run into what's responsible...

In Horizon Zero Dawn, Aloy explores a few of those in her quest to find out who she is and what happened to the Old Ones' civilization. The titular Zero Dawn facility is the largest and most impressive example, but also the most dangerous because a small army of Eclipse fanatics followed her in after she gained access. Most of the other Old World labs really are abandoned and devoid of life (except for some rats), and have been for almost a thousand years.

This is evoked by the "Dead Factory" in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, where it was a fully functional disposal facility and research center that was disguised as an abandoned water treatment center as a cover to keep a big fence around the place and keep both civilians and officials out. A file found in the place even outlines what they do with trespassers who want to explore the creepy "abandoned" lab: they're either shot or captured and used as guinea pigs. Of course, by the time Jill and Carlos get there, it's abandoned for real. By the living, at least.
