I love nothing more than hazardous weather in video games, the long dark is pretty good with its intense blizzards that you can get lost and die in minutes, I also love no man's sky. The whole building a base in an extremely hostile environment that if you step outside for too long you're a goner.

I'm a sucker for these games, I need more. You guys got anything for my itch? Bonus points if it's super intense and dangerous

I recently got Against the Storm. It's a gameplay loop about building a fantasy villiage in a hostile forest, so it sounds like what you're looking for. The faster you expand into the woods, the faster the hazards and challenges appear. The storms aren't visually spectacular, but they provide negative status effects.

I like games that let me adjust the complexity and difficulty by adjusting the rate of my expansion. The first time I really felt that was with Creeper World. It's an RTS where you build turrets to claim territory against an ever-encroaching rising tide. You might enjoy that. Creeper World III is probably my favorite from the series.
