Video games are all about transporting players to magical realms that bridge the gap between fiction and reality, and technology has helped developers realize those ambitions better than ever before. Modern game engines allow teams to craft realistic weather conditions including but not limited to snowcapped environments. Some games do an excellent job in this regard and present their striking environments with stunning snow effects that don’t look all too different from real life. To that end, we present 10 of the best games that feature realistic snow effects. We will not only be talking about the visual elements of snow but also discuss the gameplay ramifications of these snow effects.

Forza Horizon 4 In Winter Season

Forza Horizon 4 Fortune Island

Playground Games has established its reputation as a developer with a penchant for delivering games that consistently hit a high level of visual fidelity, and its premier franchise Forza Horizon is emblematic of those very strengths. Right from the environments to the car models and weather effects, Forza Horizon impresses with its striking attention to detail. Take for instance Forza Horizon 4, where seasonal changes can dramatically impact the visual and gameplay feel of the experience by a significant margin. The snow rendering is a particular highlight in this game, which not only looks great with proper terrain deformation when skirting along snow but can also cause your car to slip and slide in a realistic fashion – which adds a level of mechanical tension to the gameplay proceedings.
