Rain is no stranger to gaming. It is used effectively in games like Splinter Cell, Heavy Rain (lol), and many others... However, it serves nothing more than an environment feature for us to admire. For now...
Can a game create something as simple as rain and make it something more? Even if it is only for a brief moment? Well, in Metro Last Light; they seem to try that theory out a little bit at a key moment. It serves as a strange addition to a world ravaged and decayed.
You will see what I mean in the video below.

If done well, yes.
