I have a nostalgic fondness for the North Pole map in Twisted Metal 3

 

[No BBC=Anger]

I played the hell out of this Worms Armageddon demo level from a PC magazine.

 

[tkscz]

Frosty Village from Diddy Kong Racing

 

[Sethbacca]

That this thread has gotten this far without Frostpunk being mentioned is an absolute travesty.

 

[Trilobit]

So this might be cheating, but being inside a warm cabin in The Long Dark while you hear the howling snowstorm outside is my favourite winter/snow/cold setting.

Shenmue felt like just the next step in gaming, when it came out. With world design, voice acting, graphics, story, and content. It was just something so special.

 

[Danjin44]

Bastorias in Unicorn Overlord

Back then -- you didn't have to wait too long for the next genuine step up. GTA 3 was about a year and a half later. Feel spoilt looking back on that but then again as a kid I couldn't afford a quarter of the stuff around. Watched from the sidelines.

I always preferred Winterspring myself.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Shadow Moses in MGS1 and New York in Fahrenheit.

[SenkiDala]

There's really no words to explain what I feel when I think about that place, or most places in OG FFVII (that will always be superior to any remake, not flooded with useless contents, to make it last longer)... All of this is so perfect, the music, the graphics, the lightning... Even the goofy 3D models... All of it is perfection.

 

[rofif]

Forgot Fahrenheit

 

[RaduN]

Best not only visually, but most importantly, mechanically:

Also, return to Shadow Moses. The feeling of pure nostalgia when that surveilance camera appeared, was simply overwhelming.

 

[Ulysses 31]

 

[Danjin44]

Hoarfrost Reach in MHW Iceborne.

I cant wait to see what MH Wilds is gonna do with its snow area. especially the fact Wilds has much bigger map and gonna have weather effect.

I do hope they bring Gammoth back.
