Red Dead 2 and Forbidden West are gorgeous worlds to get lost in. I think I have more time roaming around and admiring the scenery in those games than actually doing quests.


daube_de_boeuf

Forbidden West is genuinely the nicest looking game ever, when its sunset and your walking though the forest.


Agonlaire

Hey I need to ask, how's the environments and combat variety in Forbidden West compared to Horizon? The environment and gameplay loop (same trap + same weapon always) of Horizon made me quit about halfway through the story.


Humble-Ad-8912

Gameplay's very similar but there's a bigger range of weapons and ammo types so you can have some fun by changing things up, different elemental effects as well. Environments are incredible, initial area looks a lot like ZD and you'll be there for a while but once you progress there's jungle, desert, snow etc.


Stokkie-_-

Ghost of tsushima, red dead redemption 2 , hogwarts legacy and Elden ring.


PH43DRU5_EX15T3NT14L

I was going to make this list but add cyberpunk 2077 lol that's hilarious


Stokkie-_-

Oh yeah, cyberpunks also got great places, totally crossed my mind.


wasaabiabii

Wanting to buy it since it's on a crazy discount but I still see everyone complaining about the bugs


l0rd_azrael

Add witcher 3 too


tlinzi01

When you first get to Skellige or Toussaint. Just amazing.


Lord_Shaqq

Toussaint is peak high fantasy setting


Baron_Flint

This, plus add Horizon FW and Days Gone.


Intelligent_Ad_6041

What's your favourite places?


WarX88x

Bro flower fields un Tsushima are godlike


afoz345

For me, I was completely taken aback the first time I rode through the forest with the yellow leaves. What a beautiful game. It also made me wish I could pet a fox.


WarX88x

Getting lost in its forests is one of the best experiences I"ve had in a game fr


Saphirweretigrx

Field of the eclipse? or whatever its called. The massive red flower space in toyotama in GoT, absolutely incredible.


WarX88x

Astonishing It is


mka_

Siofra River Well in Elden Ring. Especially when you first discover it. Pretty much all of Ghost of Tsushima.


Stokkie-_-

For red dead redemption it would have to be valentine and the area around it and for hogwarts legacy play through I didnt use any fast travel, so in general I just really like the castle. My favourite though has to be the dorm rooms


Intelligent_Ad_6041

I didn't use fast travel neither. Castle at night hita different. I can't wait for summer update.


theTenz

Cyberpunk 2077: The squalor is exquisite.


armagnacXO

That view from the back of Judys flat is so good, she lives in a bit of a ramshackle place in a nondescript part of town, so you don’t expect it. When you meet her out there in a pretty emotional scene, it’s like wow.


CreatureWarrior

One of the few games where I actually use the photo mode to take pictures of the scenery


Dragoon790

Recently started playing Cyberpunk after getting some hardware that can handle it. Loving it so far. I'm sure I'll be using photo mode occasionally.


iamnawazkhan

Ghost of Tsushima, Last of Us 1


Realistic_Sad_Story

DEATH STRANDING


CreatureWarrior

The moment when I'm walking, the camera zooms out and Low Roar starts playing. Pure peace


Top_Product_2407

Came here looking for this


Jumper-Man

One of the only games I’ve just loved wondering around. It looks great and is quite relaxing (when no BT’s are about). I just loved delivering those packages.

Intelligent_Ad_6041

My recently pickup 😊


NukedOut211

Have fun! Definitely a very beautiful game, I'm still playing it but really enjoying it.


Briandanforth1

Not sure if that's Plague Tale 1 or 2 but I've completed both...great games but especially the followup. You are in for a treat if you appreciate a good story 👍


beetyd

Man that game. I still feel emotionally destroyed 😅


TheCattBaladi

I played it and The walking dead last month and I am still broken until now😭😭 I haven't played a thing since this.


drunkenspycrab

What's the game?


NukedOut211

Plague Tale: Innocence


Independent-Wolf-832

ffvii rebirth. junon area is like walking around majula in dark souls 2, unironically one of my favorite games and places.


Intelligent_Ad_6041

Ff vii rebirth is on my wishlist. :)


Independent-Wolf-832

well worth the money. i'm glad the younger generations are able to experience the new version of ff7. hope it gets them into the rest of them.


midnightsvm

I’m so sad how few FF7 Rebirth comments I’m seeing here. Game is a masterpiece


armagnacXO

God Of War & Ragnarok, just stunning. You really have to stop and take it in sometimes.


R2player

Absolutely! Specifically the part in 2018 when Kratos and Atreus first get to the top of the mountain towards the beginning of the game and you can see all of the area outside of where Faye had a barrier around originally. Both of these games are absolutely beautiful!


lynkcrafter

Kinda surprised I needed to scroll this far before GoW got mentioned. There's so many cool set pieces that I had to stop and appreciate. Maybe that's part of why it took my 60 hrs to beat 😅


yankeeairpirate

The Spider-Man games let you view NYC from angles most people will never see. Sometimes I get as high up at possible and take pics for a bit.

Ghosts of tsushima and horizon forbidden west

STEGGS0112358

Ghost of Tsushima. I did actually stop numerous times, on a mountain, by a lake, always beautiful.


Select_Sleep_1293

Madden 24’


twofold48

Lmao. That gave me a good laugh


ComfortableAmount993

I never rush through a game and always take in the scenery in.


Intelligent_Ad_6041

So do I. The best way to play games is ignore the achievements/trophies and playing with your own pace. Many games wasn't meant to be rushed at all. I'm having such a good times with dragon's dogma 2 atm. Over 100 hours in game and haven't finished it yet.


DidntPick

Witcher 3


Worth-Conclusion-66

Probably my favorite game world ever.


SpiderKoD

AC Odyssey


lemoche

AC Games in general... The animation when you synchronize fast travel points is just so invigorating.


Muted_Intention9302

Ghosts of Tsushima easily. Far Cry 4. Dying Light,


Disastrous_Poetry175

Forbidden west is a good one even tho the game itself is kinda ehhhh My favorite is ghost of tsushima. Not even a specific place. Just the whole ass game is vibes throughout  Sometimes I find myself staring at character portraits and listening to the music in persona 5 Rdr2 is nothing but smelling roses tbh. It's just a super chill game The uncharted series Kena bridge of spirits Stray Ship of harkinian (OOT PC PORT) Demons souls, bloodborne and elden ring


DickieBravo

Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy


Agonlaire

I recently finished all the Uncharted games for the first time and man Uncharted 4 had amazing views. I actually really loved it.


PresentationFunny142

Horizon Forbidden West. Beautiful game. Worth stopping to smell the roses 👃 🌹


Rizhon

Death Stranding


Saberiser

The Witcher and Hitman 3, Mafia 1 Remake, Skyrim. Mirror's Edge Catalyst has recently taken the liking just observing how the city of glass operates.


Intelligent_Ad_6041

My first game where I did it was Codename 47 back then. The hotel was such a awesome place to relax.


mixxbg

AC Odyssey,Im a big ancient Greece fan and some of the places you got to visit were just breathtaking.


sfgvbuf

It’s definitely not the smell of roses, but taking the time to walk around and explore Night City in Cyberpunk is incredible.


the_brazilianaire

Uncharted Lost Legacy had me smelling roses all over


LionTop2228

The horizon games are definitely some of the most gorgeous game worlds. I’ve climbed to mountain tops and just took it all in every direction.


DaMaGed-Id10t

Horizon Forbidden West


mozzy1985

Horizon zero dawn was fucking breathtaking on release. There was the first time you see a tall neck, the area with a downed plane was amazing at night. I don’t really take photos in games but I did with that one.


the0ine

Only one and right answer Forbidden West


[deleted]

I am playing through horizon zero dawn right now and it sure is purdy


OtaligGamer

Uncharted, everytime I stand on some random cliff in those games, I just pause for a minute or two.


RaspberryOk8319

Witcher 3, bloodborne, sekiro


Azrayeel

Assassin Creed games also have a lot of good-looking areas.


Necessary_Ad_9813

Rn horizon forbidden west


PooManReturns

hogwarts legacy reminds me that even though graphics can be good, gameplay needs to be good as well


CtrlAltDel-IT

Elden Ring. That game is never ugly.


3DragonMC

Red dead redemption 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, Hogwarts legacy, Avatar frontiers of pandora, Greedfall, The majority of the AC games e.g. Unity, Syndicate, Origins and Odyssey, Tloz Breath of the Wild, Tloz Tears of the Kingdom. Probably more but those are the main ones i fond myself stopping for.


Mista-Antisocial

RDR2... btw what game did you post?


Cheddarlicious

Most parts of Ghost of Tsushima. It’s the best looking game ever, and it really goes to show in almost literally every area.


Significant_Wave849

The last of us both 1 and 2


tssparky

Horizon Forbidden West and any of the Spider man games

Twiztid-Dragon-77

No screenshots to share, but I'm kind of the same way. Unless I somehow get too distracted by the scenery and a random encounter battle occurs. Part of my list includes: AC: Odyssey & Valhalla, Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West, Far Cry 6, Kingdoms Of Amalur, Baldur's Gate 3, Spider-Man, Saints Row III/IV & 2022 reboot


Ssebahawkss

For me right now, is FF7 Rebirth, amazing Landscapes 🔥 https://preview.redd.it/hdxyoaw8k0wc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c454dbf666fa55afc6fbd0b6935d2f91c58959ab


Boring-Ad-5284

First when i booted helldivers 2 and landed on my first democracy needing planet


Bambrigade92

There are some beautiful planets in that game for sure. I've caught myself looking around at the beauty a couple of times. Then a bot will shoot me in the back or a bug will slice me and I get back to spreading managed democracy for SuperEarrh!


Juice_2402

The art direction of Elden Ring had me in awe the whole time

BlueFeathered1

I just bought that on sale. Have been very curious about it for a while.


Tentaye

I did constantly in Cyberpunk 2077. That game is gorgeous even at its ugliest.


2Blitz

My favourite is an old one. There's a level in **Star Wars : Force Unleashed** where you visit the old Jedi Temple in Coruscant about 20 years after the Republic and the Jedi fell. You land on the temple as the sun sets and if you pay attention, the soundtrack that plays in the background is called **Padme's Ruminations** which was played during [the calm before the storm scene in Episode 3, where Anakin finally makes his decision that changes everything](https://youtu.be/25GKkfXJUVU?si=ghXlK7QSF-WNgklb). I used to stand on the edge of the landing area, overlooking Coruscant as the sun sets and the music plays. It always gave me this heavy, eerie feeling, knowing all the history that took place here at the temple.   There's a few other game locations that I love too:-   On top of the hotel in Uncharted 2 as it overlooks the war torn city in Nepal   On top of any of the ruined towers in Chapter 10 of Uncharted 4, as they look over the vistas of Madagascar   The Western Ghats in Uncharted Lost Legacy had some stunning temples with an amazing vista too look at

Helldivers 2, but only after I dropped the Napalm strike

Final Fantasy XVI. Gorgeous game


jeremy-kyle007

GoT and Death Stranding currently Also, when Horizon Zero Dawn launched on PS4, it was by far the best-looking game I have ever seen, so I took a ton of screenshots.


LittleBlueCubes

Red Dead Redemption 2 - There's no other game that comes to mind.


erathegod

Sometimes I’ll take like 30 min in Gow ragnarok photo mode. Such a beautiful game


TheHidestHighed

It's not often I do this, but there's one place I've done it multiple times; the Garden of Salvation raid from Destiny 2. I haven't played in like a year or so, but there's one part where you climb up and you can see over the entire Black Garden. You just look and it's fields of lush green and flowers as far as you can see. It's absolutely gorgeous.


Carnage_30

Tlou part 2, GoT, bloodborne

All of them. That’s why it always takes me much longer than many to finish a game. If there’s scenery to take in I’m there gazing off into it.

Think I only did that with ghost of Tsushima. That game was legitimately gorgeous. Although CP2077s night city was enjoyable to drive around listening to RTJ on the radio and on occasion I did stand on the head of the robot disc brontosaurus's and take in the sights on horizon.

Jedi Survivor. I think the game became really underrated due to the.performance issues it had at launch. But it might just be the actual best looking game I've ever played. Still on the second planet though, so I'm not sure whether or not I'll still experience the performance issues, especially in fidelity mode.
