Story:In "Cold Winter", you play the role of Andrew Sterling, a former member of MI6, the British secret intelligence service. Andrew is caught preparing to assassinate someone in China, and is thrown into prison. There he faces torture and imminent execution. But a former friend from his MI6 days arranges to rescue him and offers him a job, having planned in advance to manipulate him so that he is unable to refuse.

This game is absolutely underrated. 20 years later, and it still has not received a re-release. This was one of my childhood games back around 2009 to 2012, and even though I haven't completed the game, I had fond memories with the story, especially some shocking moments where a main character dies. Another great moment was at the beginning, where after being tortured you are given an atmospheric intro to the controls, where a light shines to you, and you look at the light. While it might seem a little bog-standard to some, I believe the atmosphere, story, and even mechanics are still worth experiencing, especially as a remaster on GOG, or even Steam, PS4/5, Xbox Series X/S, etc. I would love to play this with mouse + keyboard controls and updated, tweakable graphics with optional ray-tracing if that is possible. 9/10 game for me.
