Ah, good one! I completely forgot about Metal Gear Solid. I've only played it once, and it's been some years now since I played it. I gotta get around to replaying it sometime.

Final Fantasy XIII.

I'll see myself out.

EDIT: Serious answer would be The Last of Us and The Last of Us 2, those games just nailed the feeling. RDR2's opener in the snow is pretty cool as well. I always hated Mario 64's snow level.

A game that has snow AND rain is Densha De Go! 64! (and presumably other entries as well)
I just know that that game starts the rain or snow if you're doing particularly well, so there's some extra challenge added to the end of your route~

The first Metal Slug has a snow level, I think level 3. Later games in the series might have had a snow level as well, I don't remember.

A few other games I can think of that include snow ...

Phantasy Star IV, on the Genesis has a planet that's covered in snow.

Image

Snowboard Kids, on the N64 is another fun racing game that includes snow levels. My sister and I were just revisiting it around Thanksgiving.

Image

Christmas Nights, on the Sega Saturn, which I still need to check out.

Image

Diablo 3, my GF and I played it on the 360 and clocked a ton of hours playing couch co-op.

Image

Resident Evil 6, another game my GF and I played couch co-op on the 360. This game also had a snowmobile segment, which was a pain to complete with two players. Lol.

Image

Ski Free, which came on the Windows 95 computer my family had back in the day. That damn monster always came out and ate the skier.

I still feel it's cheating to use modern games. Even Skyrim I skipped over.

I mean, snow can still be awesome in a modern game. I'll still enjoy it. But yeah, it's not as impressive graphically compared to a retro game.

Was gonna say Silent Hill, but then I remembered it's coal ashes. Still reminds me of Christmas.

Yeah, clearing the snow was as good as wiping the floor with my opponent. That was probably my favorite level because of that.

Also, we should add Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit to the list. It's all about snow...and the cold. And the world slowly freezing over due to an Aztec prophecy thingy.
