Super Metroid.
Surface of Crateria has a thunderstorm for the entire length of the game.
Incorrect… The storm actually ends after you get the Varia suit and the music turns from dark and brooding to more heroic.
It still wins for one of the moodiest openings to a game, in my opinion. It really makes me wish that Metroid leaned even harder into the horror stuff
Thunderstorms in Baldur’s Gate (the old ones) could outright kill you. Scary stuff.
In Valheim it was quite real and comfy at the same time. Weird I know.
Mafia’s “A Trip to the Country” mission has to be up there for best thunderstorm. The atmosphere in the Remake was even better.
