What's the best game you've seen graphically on PC at this point?

[Triggeravus]

I've seen quite a few great ones, but Horizon Zero Dawn stands out.  It's just stunning at every turn at max settings even though it's technically a last-gen game.

I find Tera online's scenery very pleasing and breath taking

 

So much so that I hike to the border of the world to enjoy the view from above

Wow I just watched some videos of this on Steam.  Gotta get it.  

[Deuxez]

I'd probably say i enjoy the Chernobylite scenery the most right now. Too bad my GPU is to trash to run the game at highest settings. Still looks pretty OK at medium/high tho!

Vanilla right?

Battlefront 2(2017)
Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition?
Kingdom Come: Deliverance

I love Kingdom Come.  The character models are so realistic.  

 

I'm just trying to get the gameplay down at this point.  I admit I use a mod where you can pick any lock because I couldn't afford lockpicks and I was like whatever.  Still fun.  

[Triggeravus]

Also gotta give a shoutout to Destiny 2.  Just started playing that on my new system and it's pretty dope with HDR on.

The lock picking sucks, keep using the mod.

Oh I will.

 

I just pretend like I could have opened the chests anyways. lol

From what I hear, the RAM requirements shown in-game aren't correct with REmake 2.  

 

Even with a 3080 I have it set way above what the game says is acceptable for my hardware, and it plays beautifully.  Just ignore the orange and red warnings when it comes to ram with this one.  It's not actually using what it says. 

[Middcore]

Red Dead Redemption 2 is far more pleasing to look at than actually play. 

[SteveGrabowski0]

I know they're old as hell now, but I still find Witcher 3 and GTA V really impressive graphically. Witcher 3's lighting is just beautiful as the sun gets low on the horizon. Plus pretty much any competent gpu can run them.

Agreed, but it doesn't seem to like HDR.  Some games look better with it off for whatever reason.

Different strokes and all but IMO GTAV didn't even look particularly good when it came out.

 

Witcher 3 I think holds up in everything except the quality of grass/foliage. The remaster will be something to see. 

 

Monster Hunter World was mentioned and that is a very pretty game although IMO it's less impressive than some because the areas you can actually move around in are somewhat restricted.

 

Cyberpunk really is impressive looking with ray tracing maxed out on rainy streets. 

[Nathanpete]

@MiddcoreIDK maybe it was for the Xbox 360 and PS3, which had half a gigabyte of system memory? Yes the game looked like dog shit when it first came out, then better for the next generation, then pretty damn good for PC, and between mods and possibley the upcoming expanded and enhanced version it does look great at max settings. 

 

In terms of realism in models, it has got to go to Forza Horizon 4. It really does pay to have custom 3D laser scans made of every single car in their roster so that when you pop open the hood you can see every singe tube, wire, and weld, in fantastic detail. Sure being under the hood the textures are probably low res, but I have never seen any game except for maybe some sort of mechanics simulator that has perfect 3D models of what can be found under the hood. (Of course before upgrades to the car, usually when you make upgrades to a car engine that adds additional parts they tend to lock the hood so you can't see inside anymore. But I don't blame them for that.)

 

Like I know CP 2077 looks fucking amazing on really good hardware, but I don't have that hardware and to me it just looks pretty fuzzy. And my first person model and third person model aren't he same thing. I have shaved legs in third person, but when I sit down in shorts in game everything above my knees is unshaved. Sure this is because of a mod, but why aren't they the same model? If they were it would also be really easy to implement a third person mode.

Red Dead 2, Control, Marvel Avengers, Grid 2019, CoD MW 2019 and Warzone.

 

All for different reasons.

 

I also think Fallout 4 is, at times, a spectacular looking game...despite being 6 years old.

Probably DCS World or Flight Sim 2020

Maybe the best looking flight sims but they are far far from being the best looking out of all games.

Even on my ageing system, with many settings turned down (I only have textures on "High 0.25GB", for example) I still manage around 70fps. Does anyone know if the VRAM meter in the settings page is more accurate than RE2R/RE3R?

W/o a doubt Cyberpunk 2077. No capture or screenshot does it justice for the way it comes to life on a gorgeous monitor.

For world environments 3 games spring to mind:

1, Yakuza Like a Dragon

2, Watchdogs Legion

3, Genshin Impact

 

One of those games is not like the others.  The question was "best graphically" without further description, so I have to take it that it is left to the responder how to interpret that.

 

The worlds in Yakuza and Watchdogs do look kinda familiar to me. Although I spent half a year in Yokohama I never went to the areas in Like a Dragon and I hope to do so in future. Legion is much closer to current home. I don't want to play the game, but haven't looked around to see if there is a god mode or similar just to let me travel around like a tourist. That's all I ever did in GTAV. Hop in a car and drive around and take in the scenery.

 

Genshin Impact obviously is a very different graphical style that is not aligned with realism, but it is one I find really beautiful. If it wasn't made as a gacha it could have been one of the best games of all time.

 

BTW I large 4k display helps with all the above.

I've had that for months but been holding off playing until it's patched enough.

 

How does it play these days?
