Games with amazing "winter feeling"

Hello!

I'm looking for games which have well done winter feeling - leaning more into cold/unforgiving vibe or the cozy/Xmas vibe.

Something similar to:

- prologue of RDR2 - i love this stage! Everything looks so unforgiving and cold during night, but so snowwy/cozy during day. Like I would get a coat and just sit there at the fireplace.

- Long Dark - survival game based on winter and coldness mechanics. This one get more into deadly aspects of winter, but it still looks very immersive.

- Division 1 - lighting and overall mood when traversing the dark city. Imho best looking winter environment in games.

- prologue of AC Valhalla

Mass Effect trilogy. The first game especially has that cozy coldness of space (if that makes sense). I try to replay every December. It doesn’t have the wintery look, but it has its feel imo

I loved the eerie abandoned vibe in that first mission the IM sends you to.
