What are your games to get into the season for its vibe?

I mean games you played / you are going to play.
My list looks like this for example:
- Summer: DAVE THE DIVER
- Autumn: Against the Storm
- Winter: Frostpunk 2
- Spring: Terra Nil
What are yours?
- Stardew Valley
- RimWorld
- Starbound
- TTW (FO3 + FNV)
- Skyrim LE (I know it's old, but my laptops suck so much)
You got five seasons???
Some parts of south Asia actually do use a six season model. You've got the four you're familiar with plus monsoon season between summer and autumn and one other one either at the start or end of winter depending on the specific system
I wonder how would that look like. 🤔
Satisfactory 1.0 just dropped.
Coffe Stain literally does straight up ASMR trailers sometimes.
I don't get seasons where I live. It's just hell year-round.
Hokkaido somewhere?
I wish. It's currently 45 where I am, and it's barely past noon.
I would do unspeakable things to be able to get a remote job and live in Sapporo though.
Against the storm has been on my radar for ages. How is it, and how's the replayability?
It's very good if you like city builders with RTS elements. There's no combat in it at all, it's just you and your villagers against the storm, hence the title. It has a lot of challenge missions and an overall story so the replayability is quite good.
Oh wow, I thought there was combat.
What are the RTS elements if not combat? Is it more "macro" level stuff like resource collection/ building/ tech?
I'll definitely pick it up if that's more what it's about. I love RTS formats, but going back to starcraft style micro is way too much for me nowadays.
I dig city builders regardless though, and the roguelike aspect seems neat.
I don't play games to get in the mood for a season, but I've noticed the last couple of years that I'm likely to play some games a lot more in certain seasons!
- Spring: Stardew Valley
- Summer: I don't have anything specific here.
- Fall: Farming Simulator
- Winter: XCOM/XCOM 2
I tend to associate stardew valley with winter. I like the decorations the most and the music is very nice. Reminds you of all the work during the other seasons and let’s you breath in and plan for next year.
That's exactly what I meant! Not only "fitting in-game". Nice list.
Pillars of Eternity and Factorio
Great ones!
Autumn is always Diablo-season in my family. We'll play a modded Diablo 1 or 2 together. It's tradition!
The sanctity of this latte has been fowled.
- Costume Quest 2 for Halloween
- Viscera Cleanup Detail: Santa's Rampage for Christmas
spring: mario sunshine
summer: Journey, Witcher 3
fall: Majora's Mask, everything is dying and decaying after a golden age
winter: 1080 snowboarding!
Replace Sunshine with Super Mario Eclipse. It has the original shine sprites, huge quality of life improvements, and an insane amount of new content.
Have Eclipse on my list up next after I finish up Astro Bot. Happy to see it getting good reviews!
never heard of eclipse, thanks
Eh, the only "seasons" I play special games for are Halloween (something spooky) and Christmas:
- Halloween - last year it was Darkside Detective and Return of the Obra Dinn - usually something spooky, but not into horror itself
- Christmas - last year it was Arida: Backland's Awakening and Opus Magnum; usually puzzles and heavier stories
This year, it'll probably be:
- Halloween - finally finish Metro 2033 series
- Christmas - probably some long game I've been sitting on, like The Witcher series or RDR II
Other than that, I don't really games based on the season, but based on time I have available and whatever interests me.

The Long Dark for winter, of course.
