• BOTW/TOTK is pretty memorable because it has a mechanical effect. Climbing becomes harder due to wet surfaces being slippery, and lightning can strike things killing them, damaging things and setting fires.

      I loved the storms in BOTW. The rainy atmosphere and the mechanical effects were really well done.

      In a similar vein, Majora’s Mask has a fantastic thunderstorm on day 2 of the cycle.

      This is one of the two that jump to mind. Red Dead Redemption 2 had beautiful, atmospheric storms that were a sight to behold at a distance. Breath of the Wild brought the lightning up close and personal.

      There’s nothing quite like deciding to take a fight in a thunderstorm while the only gear you have left is metal, or carefully sneaking up on an enemy only to have a bolt of nature’s electric fury crash down two meters behind you and shake the ground you’re standing on. Especially in surround sound.
