What do you think about the integration of real-time weather effects in PlayStation game environments?

Dynamic weather can elevate immersion: rain slicking the pavement in crime thrillers, fog masking enemies in horror games, and blizzards turning forests into frozen wastelands. How do you feel about real-time weather on PlayStation titles? Does Red Dead Redemption 2’s shifting skies or The Last of Us Part II’s rain-soaked streets deepen your emotional connection, or is it just a gimmick that taxes your frame rate?

I think real-time weather effects in PlayStation games enhance immersion and realism, making the gameplay more dynamic and engaging. It adds depth to the environment, influencing strategies and mood. Overall, it's a great feature that elevates the gaming experience significantly.

Horizon Forbidden West impressed me with weather affecting actual gameplay mechanics - thunderstorms mask sound, sandstorms reduce visibility, and rain impacts fire-based weapons, making environmental awareness crucial for survival strategies.
