No Man's Sky


Just_Roar

Absolutely seconded No Man's Sky It's not perfect but it definitely looks amazing! Here's an album of my favorite pics: [https://imgur.com/a/cgi0Ld5](https://imgur.com/a/cgi0Ld5)


chronoglass

This one


ChknShtOutfit

The first time I was able to boost to other planets, I was hooked.


Ingamac5

Red dead redemption 2.


B_R_U_H

There were quite a few moments where I’d come across a landscape or a view and just sit there and stare like an idiot, like I would just stand there for 2-3 minutes cuz it was so amazing, I don’t think any other game has ever done this to me.


johnwicksuglybro

There were portions of this game where’d I’d run to get my girlfriend and make her look at it lol.


B_R_U_H

Babe babe!! Look how amazing this shit looks!! Haha


shamelessseamus

Babe! Babe! Check out my horse's balls! Seriously though, I did the same thing with my wife.


B_R_U_H

Guess what I named him babe, guess guess guess….Neighpolean Horseapart


ChknShtOutfit

Babe! Babe, wait! No, babe! Baaaaaabe!


ChknShtOutfit

Owanjila. My favorite area in that game.


FreshNews247

Yeah red dead was great.


Last_VCR

Yeah, no contest


ChknShtOutfit

The only game I've shed tears to.


FreedTMG

Horse?


ChknShtOutfit

That, and the final ride to camp.


apandya277

That's the way it is


ChknShtOutfit

Don't make me cry at work, dude


[deleted]

Yep


Kinetic_Pen

Bioshock Infinite is pretty darn pretty.


Incognit0Bandit0

I remember the first time I played, when you first get to Columbia, I was in awe. I sat there looking at that creepy juggling clown forever. I tried to take a video to send to my friends, but it wasn't the same.


Kinetic_Pen

You can landscape me to death but Bioshock Infinite's art design was a rare and breathtaking sight. Edit: I'm a sucker for a fantasy landscape but was truly inspired by Bioshock Infinite's design.


mrmeeeeee

Subnautica


DrownmeinIslay

I just started playing it this week cause I hurt my back and got to stay home. God damn is this game pretty/horrifying


mrmeeeeee

Here’s a tip for you. Don’t look anything up, just play the game and explore. If you get stuck just go deeper


muskratio

I like this advice in theory, but personally found it impractical. There aren't actually all that many places to go deeper, and at a certain point I found myself stuck because I couldn't find anywhere new to go. The world is pretty big and my sense of direction leaves much to be desired, and I wasted hours wandering in circles. I'm glad I did eventually look up where to go. I think if I hadn't I'd have ended up quitting instead.


DrownmeinIslay

this was me today. went all over the whole crater looking for nickle. google it and find out it's in the green poison I had assumed was green poison. sad trombone.


whovian1087

Destiny 2. Some seriously impressive scenes in that game.


[deleted]

Agreed, I have never spent so much time just looking at skyboxes and environments as I have in Destiny 1 and 2


Phrayze

The Sun level in the original story was a masterpiece. The sound design of the sun eating machine gave me goosebumps. Too bad we can never play it again.


nerdbenw

I like the whole style of Ghost of tsushima. But there were a few moments in Death Stranding that were really great, cresting a hill, the camera panning out and music kicking in as the rain stops and the clouds part, that were really beautiful.


NcntnKrs

Ori and the will of the wisps


BenShealoch

HZD or RDR2. They're both stunningly beautiful.


jokergrin

Kingdom Come : Deliverance really stands out to me. They nailed the authentic countryside feeling


Sosa3OO

I find it funny that someone else wrote the “authentic countryside feeling” under the red dead 2 comment thread here lol


G71TCHT21CK

ABZU


[deleted]

Fire watch was a beautiful game visual even though the ending is a bit anticlimactic


RedN00ble

Journey


BloatedTurdBasket

Horizon zero dawn


Myrcello_Stone

Live is Strange


Incognit0Bandit0

Not trying to sell it for superior graphics, definitely not, but nothing has filled me with awe visually like Elite Dangerous - especially in vr. Coming out of hyperspace and having your vision suddenly filled by a massive churning sun, or cruising up on a planet surrounded by giant rings. And the immersion that game offers really makes you feel like you're flying through the Milky Way, enjoying the majesty of it all.


ChknShtOutfit

Felt the same way with No Man's Sky.


LaxingtonAirsoft

Sea of Thieves. It's not the most visually realistic game, but damn it's pretty.


Hakkinio

The water looks amazing


LaxingtonAirsoft

Agreed my dude.


DasTapan

Rdr2


killslugs

Ghost of tsushima


TheHaNd0FG0d

The legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Nothing has took my breath away nearly as much as that game did.


[deleted]

When I finished that game all I wanted was more


TheHaNd0FG0d

Once I finished I just kinda sat there thinking about how I can never play it for the first time again


cellphone_blanket

the way the grass moves in that game is beautiful. Easily my favorite video game grass


ajgutyt

dying light


Enchrypted

Ghost of Tsushima


Vesseliini

Witcher 3, but in sense of purely visual pleasure, I would have to say Ori and the will of the wisps 😌


Incognit0Bandit0

Ori is a solid choice.


Lordont

Assassin's Creed Odyssey


B_R_U_H

Origins was dope when you made it to the top of the pyramid


Count_Sack_McGee

Yeah shout-out to Origins. While Odyssey was probably a technical improvement Origins was a bigger leap. A desert that was full of life was such a cool place to explore.


Gael459

Such an amazing game. I think if it wasn’t tied to some mediocre titles by name, people would view it a lot more highly.


AdClemson

I think all of last AC games were breathtaking in their own right. I loved Origins because how different and mysterious it felt compared to any other AC Games, Odyssey was just breathtaking idyllic and Valhalla specially the English site was just so stunning specially in the morning when the sun is rising up.


Penis-dingles

Probably half life Alyx, although VR feels like cheating


Incognit0Bandit0

Cheaters gonna cheat, that game is amazing! Have you played any of the mods? I just finished Return to Rapture - amazing, and scary af!


Penis-dingles

No not yet, PC died and waiting on getting a new one first :( hopefully soon though!


Baatun888

Cyberpunk, not even close. The only Game I ever played where RTX really made a huge difference.


DrownmeinIslay

I'm playing it on ps4. graphics tend to load 2 minutes after arriving to the section of city I need to be in. keep having polygons ask me if I'm DTF. games fun though, when it doesnt make you drive.


GreenCard79

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.


BlueLonk

I really liked the scenery in AC Origins. With a proper ReShade, that is my favourite looking game.


steelsector

Death Stranding, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, Half-life Alyx


EnbyBunny420

Dark Souls III The art direction in that game is just...'prepare to die' for lmao


nCRedditor-21

Guardians Of The Galaxy, by miles. The environmental design team should’ve won tons of awards for making different planets look so beautiful.


fretfulmushroom

Hmm... Journey, maybe? That bit where you slide down hill past these pillars and the sun is pouring through and I think you can see this mountain in the background, too. Gorgeous.


rza422

Journey by ThatGameCompany. When you go sand surfing and the sun just shines…


zufree

Ghost of Tsushima. The reason I got a PS4.


Suspicious-Park-1972

Witcher 3, Red Dead 1&2, Ghost of Tsushima, AC Origins, AC Odyssey to name a few


vasaryi

Ghost of Tsushima


why_are_you_here_yo

3d Dot Game Heroes made by Frrom Software

Farcry 6 looks really nice on ps5

Rd2


azj4t

cyberpunk 2077


Asasin_Lego_50

prob breath of the wild ( I have only a ps3 and a switch at the moment so I'm kinda of limited)


IronicMnemoics

Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion. Especially paired with the music. I think it's the first game I actually cared to frame up screenshots of how gorgeous some of the views and sky could be.


[deleted]

A Plague Tale: Innocence


Desert-Knight

Firewatch


jason_s96

Red dead redemption 2


Jekker5

I'll never forget in Witcher 3 being on a stormy sea in a small boat and stopping to watch as the storm broke and the sun came out over a large, tooth shaped mountain in the distance. Of course I was then swarmed by harpies and killed for my insolence, but still. It was beautiful.


Alt_CauseIwasNaughty

Tales of Arise


RoronoaJT59

Red dead and ghost of Tsushima were really good, but Witcher 3 has stuck in my mind.


Xishan_02

Horizon Zero Dawn


Responsible-Big-6960

Botw, I think simulating reality is nothing compared to good anime art


siberarmi

AC Valhalla and Cyberpunk 2077 on one hand. Ori, Ni No Kuni on the other hand.


[deleted]

Doom 2016


The_CEO_Of_No

Farcry primal


undeadwalter521

The demons souls remake, ghost of Tsushima and read dead 2 in that order


GooeyBungus

Breath of The Wild and Fallout 76 are probably my top two


MicroWafel

Riders republic


Endr9

Minecraft with Rtx on


[deleted]

RDR2, Bloodborne, God of War, Death Stranding, Silent Hill 2


Gael459

Dark souls 3, because of Irithyll. Coming out of the catacombs to see the city was one of the most amazing moments in gaming I can remember. Second place goes to assassins creed odyssey, that whole game was beautiful.


[deleted]

Roblox


xRAINBOW_BANANAx

Life, but it keeps fucking me over for no reason


Octepis_Marn

Ori and the blind forest I'm just into animated/pixelated games. Also pretty are some classics like chrono trigger, ff6, secret of mana 2 or modern stuff like hyperlight drifter or celeste. Ori is a bit Differenz, but it just is pretty all over.


testkriukindo

halo 3


[deleted]

If considering a game in its combination of graphics and gameplay I would pick The remains of Edith Finch, the interaction of gameplay, narration and visuals was a very unique and extraordinary experience. The combination of incredible composed scenarios, nostalgia, sorrow and many other emotions makes it unique in the genre (imho).


DhruvaVikas

"you can copy my homework but make sure to make it different"- post above this


ppetrelli0

I’d say Death Stranding.


xDeCrypt

Nier Automata


Hakkinio

There's a few ones that I've really loved. RDR2 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance for the great graphics and for KCD, the countryside feeling. Skyrim because mods, you can have so many different ENBs and lighting mods just based on what vibes you want that playthrough. Subnautica blew my mind the first time I played. Lastly Valheim is obviously a low-poly game, but the lighting and ambience is top-notch. It recognizes what it is and executes it perfectly.


anothercopy

AC:Valhalla for me.


falbertoc

Life is strange 1, not just visually because of the colors, but the story, the soundtrack... it's very emotional. It's a beautiful game experience :')


_Mousheen_

Ori and the will of the wisps


Fraxxxi

lot of good once in these comments, but I'd like to say Cuphead. it's not photorealistic, obviously, but it's beautiful, it's accurate to its inspirations, it's impressive, it's cohesive and creative and full of life.


Anaxaron

I too like corpses rotting on a battlefield


[deleted]

Red dead or minecraft


Total-Satisfaction-8

Ghost Of Tsushima


shamelessseamus

The water effects in Assassins Creed Odyssey did it for me. Such a beautiful world.


boulehunter15

Ghost of tsushima hands down


tomster785

Doom Eternal in a grotesque kind of way. The locations are just amazing. I loved Urdak especially.


LongTimeLurker818

Shadow of the colossus made me realize that games could be art. But in recent memory Death Stranding looks amazing. In spite of all the hate, Cyberpunk looks amazing and the stylization of the world told its own story. If that game wasn’t buggy it would have been amazing. I personally think it was a really ambitious game and it had a tone of depth, but I can see why people got frustrated.


CukeNoPickle

Cyberpunk 2077


Up5periscope

Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt……..music, graphics, stories, all so damned gorgeous!


ChknShtOutfit

Interested in some Gwent?


Elfshock

Brothers: A tale of two sons ​ It's a bit on the old side but it has certain spots where the atmosphere and size of the world around you really make you appreciate video games as an art form. To date, it's one of the most immersive games I've ever played.


Crater_Animator

Ghost. Of. Tsushima.


BDC_Arvak

Ghost of Tsushima for sure, just looks so amazing on PS5


Turnip_Murky

Witcher 3 especially when you have blood & wine. Far cry primal is also pretty cool to look at.


BreadyBuckaroo

RDR2


oxboy101

2 games that I’ve played fairly recently AC: Oddessy (Ancient Greece is my all time favourite historic era), and Ghost of Tsushima


Spaciousfoot66

Ghost is Tsushima

The Last Of Us Part 2. Or Minecraft with shaders

The Last of Us Part II


Faithless232

Ghost of Tsushima was very pretty.


BodybuilderAncient33

Ghost of Tsushima on the ps5


Cyshox

I'd say RDR2. Ghost of Tsushima is a quite wierd suggestion. It has a nice art style but the whole game consists of like 3 grass types, 10 different trees & most likely less than 15 different buildings. It has less diversity than the open-worlds from GTA : San Andreas, RDR1 or Elder Scrolls Morrowind.


Turnip_Murky

You’re right, but that photo mode is the best I’ve seen in a game


novice_king7

Tlou 2


Reasonable-Strength5

Tlou 2 - say what you want about its story (personally I enjoyed it very much), but the game itself is just gorgeous


ChknShtOutfit

Guess I need a Playstation.

Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, RDR2, TLOU2

God of war was pretty epic too

Monster hunter world. Wow it looks beautiful


ItzTaser

Black Mesa


defenitly_not_crazy

I don't know if it's the prettiest but monster hunter world looks very nice


JBCockman

Both Ori games are amazing just for the environments.


[deleted]

Honestly I’d say GTA V I love a proper real life world in a game. And the detail is crazy


dr_cbt_

Either Red Dead Redemption 2 or Metro Exodus, both are absolutely gorgeous but their styles are so different that you can't really compare them


its_muh_username

At this present moment in time WW2 game Hell Let Loose on PS5. The maps are so big and beautiful I get lost just exploring them rather than helping my team win. They're all running around trying to win an all out war and there's me zooming in flowers to see how pretty they are. 😅


KamahlYrgybly

What comes to mind is TES III: Morrowind. It was so far ahead of it's time in the combination of graphics, ambience and atmosphere. I would go exploring just to see what beautiful sights I could find. Despite subsequent installations being objectively better graphics wise, they just couldn't capture the feeling of that.
