I love nothing more than hazardous weather in video games, the long dark is pretty good with its intense blizzards that you can get lost and die in minutes, I also love no man’s sky. The whole building a base in an extremely hostile environment that if you step outside for too long you’re a goner.
I’m a sucker for these games, I need more. You guys got anything for my itch? Bonus points if it’s super intense and dangerous
Minecraft
Alan Wake. I don’t think the weather is dangerous in of itself, but it makes for a very tense atmosphere.
Metal gear solid V
Stalker 2 has very violent thunder storms. The lightning strikes are especially intense.
Modded STALKER Anomaly is worth a shout too. Some of the weather mods and sound mods make blowouts extremely intense and impressive.
No Man’s Sky on extreme hazard planets.
Edit: ah fuck, you already said that in your OP, should’ve read it before 😄
Still Wakes the Deep puts you on an oil rig amid the ocean in a storm. You spend most of your time indoors though, but there are sections where you get to see the roaring ocean
Well with the playthrough. It’s a narrative game, which isn’t for everyone.
I loved it.
Pacific drive?
Frostpunk has definitely storms and hazardous weather, but it’s more of a strategy game.
Stormworks. Obviously. The entire game is about engineering and designing vehicles to go on various rescue missions, or to go to space, or sometimes to mine oil… okay the devs have gone a bit off track from the original vision but the storms are still good for a voxel physics sandbox game.
Icarus. That game is amazing. It has varying tiers of storms which damage you but can also knock over trees that can fall on your base (or you), lightning starting forest fires, dust storms making it impossible to see where youre going etc. All the while needing supplies to survive.
Heavy Rain is worth playing… For the rain…
Edit: just remembered, there is also that Blizzard-Survival mode in the first Tom Clancy’s Division game.
Motor storm apocalypse
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
I was about to suggest Breath of the Wild. The stormy rain is amazing, happens more often and harder than in Tears I think. The constant change of equipment can be a little bit annoying, that’s probably why they dialed it a bit back.
The rain with the dramatic music at the beginning of Link to the Past is pretty awesome too.
The Last Caretaker is an early access game where you pilot a boat that is often caught is rough storms. Worth checking out.
@ me if you get anything good. My recommendation is rain world which is great if you like platformers. The game makes you feel like a small animal in very hazardous conditions that you must often run and hide to escape from.
Ooh I forgot about rain world, that is a very good one, nearly shit myself when one of those chameleons caught me
