Reader Discussion: What’s Your Favorite Winter Game Setting?

by Matt Miller on Dec 23, 2016 at 11:33 AM

As we all get tucked in for some well-deserved holiday gaming time over the next few weeks, we’re noticing a lot of game settings that like to dress up in winter wear for the season, like GTA Online and Destiny. But other games embrace their snowy landscapes throughout the season, like Lost Planet, the final sequences of Journey, the snowy frontier of Assassin’s Creed III, or any number of Star Wars levels set on Hoth. 

So which are the most memorable snowy winter locales for you? Did you love your adventures hanging off glaciers in Rise of the Tomb Raider? Couldn’t get enough dragon fights in snowy Skyrim? Or maybe you’ve been having a blast zipping down the slopes in Ubisoft’s recent release of Steep?

Share your pick for the best winter game setting in the comments below.

Thanks for reading.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.

It’s not possible without support.

In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.

Thank you.
