growing bored of cyberpunk. are there any other graphically impressive games that i can play?

[milflover69]

as the title says, cyberpunk has become boring as hell for me after a while of playing. what else can i play? it needs to have ray tracing or to look very very good, i've been playing on a shitbox for AGES and i wanna play something demanding now that i finally can. thanks in advance for all suggestions!

Starfield

Its not ultra demanding but it looks quite pretty, the plague tale series, much more story based than cyberpunk if you want to sit back for a more linear story. But it is quite pretty with great lighting effects throughout that RT would show off very well

Well, the sequel can be somewhat demanding especially in some scenes.
The story is good but depressing & stomach churning AF.

 

I thought Elden Ring & Souls series story is depressing, until PT: Requiem

If Horizon Forbidden West ever comes to PC, that'll be a beast to run. As far as stuff that's out goes, if you have a nice enough GPU, you can probably try portal RTX or something.

Oh its fabulous i love the game!

In regards to OP though, if hes got quite the powerhouse, Plague Tale isnt as demanding as games like starfield or cyberpunk on max graphics with heavy RT

i.e. its quite demanding at times, but not ultra demanding in comparison

I second Horizon Forbidden West. According to a known data leaker, it should be released "soon"

Well, Playstation's "Soon" can be 2-3 years.

There's an older game that looked quite stunning; The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and I believe there was a remaster even.

 

Alien Isolation is also a good-looking game. 

 

The Witcher II: Assassin of Kings is a beast.

 

Rise: Son of Rome was also a masterwork. 

[Tan3l6]

What Remains Of Edith Finch 

[Poinkachu]

Also maybe A very heavily modded Skyrim

 

[IgniVellex]

The witcher 3?

[venomtail]

My go to games when I get 4k and want to watch something pretty will be both Plagues Tale games, Witcher 3 replay + mods, your aforementioned Cyberpunk 2077 as well as Metro Exodus. Though I can't recall a noticeable change with Plague Tale Requiem having raytracing enabled. Maybe minimal.

 

Can't wait for Hellblade 2 to come out and Ghosts of Thushima to come to PC. Assasins Creed Mirage could also look pretty if it will come with raytracing. Unity really did set the standart.

I love how nobody here has pointed out the inherent comedy in this thread. "I'm bored with a game that's all about eye-candy. Recommend me a different game, but it has to have a ton of eye-candy. I don't care about gameplay whatsoever. I see no problem in the future with this approach of getting bored with games that put graphics front and center."

 

Maybe this is a lesson you're now starting to learn, that graphics don't really matter that much and that if you've had fun with less pretty games in the past, that's what you should continue seeking out: Fun games that will still be fun in a decade, when current graphics are yesterday's news.

That's a "walking sim". But the cream of the crop of them.

A 3050 has no shot at running portal rtx without dlss - the normal version is a classic, of course, but doesn't have great graphics by modern standards. The RTX version of portal (which is pretty much separate, by what I gather) is much more demanding, and even with dlss will only run at about 30 fps. Without it'll be literally unplayable.

Agreed, but I figured they wanted an answer to their question. They probably know what they want, at least in the short-term.

i can see why you'd say that, but i think there's been a small misunderstanding: as I mentioned, I grew up playing on a shitbox. I have played more low-spec games than I can count, I was 11-12 during flashgames' golden era. I'm ready to bet I've played games that don't even exist anymore and would be classified as lost media due to adobe flash player's death, and to this day I'm playing tons of metroidvanias (I've almost finished Blasphemous 2, I can't get past Eviterno). what I'm saying is, it would be nice to also enjoy a bit of the polar opposite to that

I recently played Control, which looks amazing with raytracing and has a ton of destructive physics & environments. Its a solid third person shooter with supernatural abilities and occasionally going through secret files (like SCP).

[TatamiMatt]

@milflover69 Do you have any specs on the new setup?
