For someone who lists tornadoes as one of their biggest fears, I've been playing a lot of Funnel Runners lately. It's a tornado-themed doomsday survival scenario where you and seven friends get tossed around by violent twisters until you eventually repair your van and escape or get engulfed by an EF5. It fills me with giddy dread—a stark contrast to the actual dread-dread I felt growing up in Dixie Alley. Anyway, why don't we have more tornado games? I've only played:

Andrea has been covering games for nearly a decade, picking up bylines at IGN, USA Today, Fanbyte, and Destructoid before joining the PC Gamer team in 2025. She's got a soft spot for older RPGs and is willing to try just about anything with a lovey-dovey "I can fix them" romance element. Her weekly to-do always includes a bit of MMO time, endlessly achievement hunting and raiding in Final Fantasy 14. Outside of those staples, she's often got a few survival-crafting games on rotation and loves a good scare in co-op horror games.
