I don’t know what it is, but I always enjoyed foggy environments. I mean sure, people have gotten into… más than one car accident in them, but they still fascinate me no matter what. It’s almost as fascinating to me as snow is (Trust me, that’s an upcoming list). Though, unlike snow, fog is used to give off something scary, depressing, o mysterious. And I freaking amor that. Hell, even making this list, it’s foggy right now. So, what better time to make a lista about foggy environments. Now, some rules. Only from games that I have played, and only one per franchise, as usual. Also, in order for these environments to be considered foggy, they can either be a light fog, o a giant mist. With that said, let’s start the list.

#10: Case 6 from Dead Rising 2



Yeah, sure, this is less of fog and más gas, but still, it is a very foggy looking area (And it was either this o foggy weather from GTA V, and we all know regular fog isn’t that fun). What makes the fog in this game unique is… well, many things, really. First off, it’s green. That isn’t like usual fog. Oh, and it also turns the zombies into much stronger and faster zombies that spit acid. Usual green fog stuff made in a lab underground. Nothing special. This ends up being a HUGE turning point in the game. After turning Chuck into an unstoppable zombie killing badass, these damn things come in and kick Chuck’s culo without a segundo thought. Oh, and tu got to amor escorting survivors out of here, right…. Because that’s always fun. This may sound negative, but I really like this. This turns what was once a normal and fun zombie killing experience into a game where tu got to tread carefully, otherwise, you’ll die in a matter of seconds… Wow, a Capcom game where I have to think hard. What the hell is this?

#9: Outer muro from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night



I would have put the Outer muro higher on the list, but the sad thing is, the Outer muro isn’t ALWAYS foggy. Sometimes it’s a clear night, and sometimes it’s raining. But when it does get foggy… OH BOY. The Outer muro is a part of the castillo that allows tu to climb up the side of the castillo to different levels of it, which contain an elevator that moves at rapid speed, and a small room at the bottom with a telescope with a view of the lake…. I have absolutely no idea why they made this, to be honest. The enemies here consist of giant knights, skeletons, and the GODDAMN MEDUSA HEAD, I HATE THEM SO MU- Okay, enough of that. Another thing tu find here is the Soul of Wolf, one of the transformations of the game that allows Alucard to turn into a wolf, and tu also fight the Doppelganger boss here, who is a tricky son of a bitch. Now, I would talk más about the fog… But all I need to have it on the lista is one thing. The título of the song that plays in this area… It’s called Tower of Mist… I don’t gotta explain a damn thing.

#8: Haunted Forest from Brutal Legend



GODDAMN, I amor THE diseño OF THIS PLACE! Brutal Legend already had some awesome looking environments before, like the underground mines, the giant sword statue, and the Metal queen Lair. But nothing, and I mean NOTHING compares to the diseño of this place. With a named like Haunted Forest, I was expecting another child’s halloween coloring book theme… I WAS GREATLY MISTAKEN! The diseño of this place is crazy. One moment, the fog is all green and swamp like and the next, it’s all cool and light blue. But, no matter what color the fog is, it always gives off this vibe of “Something is in this fog… and it wants to kill me”. The entire place consists of giant pipe organ sticking out of the ground, animales like Sickle Wraiths, which are flying creatures with sickles for hands, and Reaper Steeds, which are freaking electrical horses. Let’s see MLP beat that. Oh, and I can’t leave out the giant árbol with eyes and a mouth, o the Sea of Black Tears, which is inicial to the Drowning Doom, an undead army dressed in goth metal attire. And no hellscape like this would be complete without the Osborne Family in bat form being a side mission… God, do I amor this place

#7: Blood Harvest from Left 4 Dead



I have not played L4D 2, so do not bug me about a fog level from that game. And if tu say “Why haven’t tu played L4D 2, is so much better?” than shut up, because this is my list. Now, Blood Harvest… is pretty creepy. Well, until Francis opens his mouth, saying something he hates, and Bill tells him to shut up, but before than, it’s creepy. tu start off in a forest where tu have to make your way to a tunnel, which is filled with destroyed cars and, of course, Infected (Like tu really need me to tell tu that). And after escaping the tunnel, tu make your way to the bridge, which leads tu to a Train Station, where tu will have to follow the train tracks to a farmhouse, where the military will pick tu up in a few moments. The fog in this area is pretty damn creepy, as it gives off a sign of hopelessness and despair… Until Francis starts talking, of course. But the fact that tu and these survivors of people tu would want to axe murder in real life are stuck in the forest with hundreds of murderous zombies, and tu could possibly die along the way is a very scary thought, only multiplied with the fact that the fog kinda disrupts your vision. Thank god fog doesn’t actually exist… Wait, I meant zombies- Damn it.

#6: Wraithmarsh from Fable 2



Remember Oakvale from the first game. It was the small farm village where the protagonist from the first game lived. Sure, it was attacked por bandits, but after a while, the town rebuilt itself and was brought back to it’s former glory… It’s a real shame someone wanted immortality, because he ended up going to the Shadow Court, and asked for eternal youth in exchange for the destruction of Oakvale and the deaths of its inhabitants… Gee, I can’t imagine who did that (REAVER, tu BASTARD) But in all seriousness, the fog in this area makes the entire place seem abandoned and lonely, as if a single person hasn’t been here in years. All that walks along here are the hordes of Hollow Men, the packs of Balverines, and of course, the dangerous Banshee’s that attack tu near the flooded areas of the town. And it really doesn’t help when tu are travelling along the familiar parts of Wraithmarsh, just to make things feel worse, especially if tu played Fable 1 before 2. But, that’s the beauty of fog levels (Or, rather the opposite of beauty)

#5: Ghost Ship from Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass



Shut up, I happened to amor this game. Anyway, the Ghost Ship is where the main villain of the game resides kinda (Its complicated unless tu play the game). What I can tell you, though, is that the whenever the Ghost Ship appears, it isn’t fun for anyone. The Ghost Ship gives off a very creepy fog, which definitely helps in the creepy department of this game. The Ghost Ship is dicho to be scaring everyone in the Great Sea, because it is dicho that sailors who go into the fog never come out. And that’s to be expected, as the Ghost Ship’s fog is pretty hard to navigate unless you’re a pro puzzle solver o used a walkthrough. And of course, the Ghost Ship itself is pretty foggy. And it doesn’t help that it is filled with ghosts, and giant spiders. Oh, and those Cubus Sisters are just frightening to look at. Then again, this entire Ghost Ship was pretty creepy, from beginning to end. From turning tetra into stone, and to… growing eyes… Well, this is a Zelda game.

#4: 2300 AD from Chrono Trigger



Oh man, this is where things get depressing. After barely escaping an execution at the hands of Marle’s father, tu use a Chrono Trigger to warp tu into a different time period in order to avoid being caught. And of course, it takes tu to the future. In the future, there is barely anything left of human existence. What is left of humanity is living in small buildings, with them all starving and freezing, and a fog that is constantly outside and even enters inside the buildings. And the towns are not much better to be in, as all the towns are completely destroyed. But what makes this place even worse is the foreshadowing. This whole future is a sign of the destruction caused por the parasitic alien, Lavos, who destroyed the world in order to feast off of it’s energy. That is just a terrifying thought. And this is what leads to the group doing what they can to defeat Lavos in order to prevent this future from happening. And the fog in this part of the game, mixed with the depressing música and color scheme, really gives a feeling of despair, which I really amor in this part of the game. It really makes tu feel bad for the people of the future, and for good reason. Millions are dead, there’s no food, and the only way to travel is to beat Johnny, the jackass robot in a race. I especially feel bad for the people on that last one.

#3: The Fog from Persona 4



Oh, just because this game is all happy, all of this fog looks normal to you? NO! THIS FOG IS AN ILLUSION AND A TRAP DEVISED por A GIANT arco iris EYE GOD…………. Anyway, at the beginning of the game, when tu are inside the Midnight Channel, tu see that there is a lot of fog… like just a whole lot of fog. This fog is used to keep Shadows at bahía unless they find a Persona user, who is able to see through the fog using a pair of glasses. However, once a month, the fog lifts and the Shadows will attack anyone they can. However, there is más to this fog than just being hard to see through. The fog is used to blind the truth of human’s ignorance. Soon, the fog enters the real world, which at first, looks like normal fog, but after wearing the glasses, it proves to be fog from the Midnight Channel. As it turns out, this is all due to Ameno-Sagiri, who created the fog in order to turn all humans in the world into Shadows, so that they could live in ignorance of their true selves. This is easily one of the biggest moments in the entire game. Its obvious that this fog is a huge threat, and that it needs to be stopped… por a couple of high school students that are from an anime…. I’ve heard of worse people to save humanity.

#2: The Sorrow Fight from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater



OH MY GOD, THIS BOSS FIGHT! Easily one of my favorito! boss fights in the game (Which isn’t saying much, really). After barely escaping the prison with his life, Snake ends up at a small lake surrounded por fog and rain. It doesn’t take long until he meets The Sorrow, a man so mind-screwing-ly creepy, that right when the boss fight with him starts, he is already dead. But, that’s just the beginning. Throughout the fight, tu are walking down a never ending lake, while tu walk past the souls of those Snake has killed throughout the game. So, if tu only killed the four bosses before this, tu should be fine. BUT, if tu killed literally every soldier tu met on the way here… Then this is going to be a long boss fight. And throughout the entire fight, tu are walking deeper into the fog, And throughout the fight, the Sorrow only has one attack, which doesn’t really hurt you… But it does give tu one hell of a jumpscare

#1: Silent colina from Silent Hill



What else? No, seriously. What else? The entire game is just one big foggy area and I amor every last bit of it. Yes, there is snow in it too, but there is mostly fog. Silent colina is a small town in Maine which has a population of 30,000 and is known for attracting tourists with it’s industrial and agricultural areas. But, there is one problem with the city. A dangerous cult known as The Order had reached it’s peak in the 20th century, the men involved in making Silent colina a tourist town were found dead, and there was LOTS AND LOTS OF FOG! Also, there were two girls named Alessa and Dahlia were born, with Alessa having connections to the paranormal, brining for the monsters into Silent Hill. Soon, the leader of The Order soon began distributing a drug called PTV, which lead to it being dado to tourists and those going to the town’s hospital. Soon, Silent colina was abandoned, and this soon lead to the town being infested with the dangerous creatures of Silent Hill, Dahlia taking away Harry Mason’s daughter, Cheryll and Harry going into Silent colina to save her. The backstory perfectly adds a creepy setting to the whole thing, making the foggy surroundings of the game all the más disturbing. Oh, and then there is Silent colina 2’s story, which takes Silent colina 1 and any game afterward and completely dominates them. And that is what makes Silent colina the perfect foggy environment… Until Konami gives it sunshine and rainbows… I wouldn’t be shocked if they did

Well, there tu have it. Did tu enjoy the list? Tell me what tu thought of it. With that said, I will see tu all siguiente time.
