15 Jaw-Dropping Storm Effects in Video Games

Visual fidelity in video games can be serious business, whether you’re going for a highly realistic style or gorgeous aesthetics. While some games succeed off the back of gorgeous landscapes, character models and animations, others manage to deliver excellent weather effects.
