Best looking games ever made




















The heroes, maps, and environments all nail the Star Wars aesthetic while looking crisp. If you love Star Wars and haven't played this game, picking up a cheap copy is worth your time. Gazing across Ghost of Tsushima 's rendition of the Japanese archipelago is quite the sight to behold, as this highly anticipated title has some of the most breathtaking scenery in all of gaming. Tsushima 's main graphical focus is on its world, which ends up feeling just as alive as the characters that inhabit it.

The way cherry blossom petals flow in the highly stylized wind, how the sunset illuminates the beautiful countryside, and the many vibrant colors that contrast the violent gameplay make for one beautiful game. The franchise's most recent entries tend to be compared to Pixar's movies, which is about as high of praise as any game can receive.

Insomniac created lavish and dense worlds that all have unique flavors that make them exciting to explore. When the action gets going and Ratchet or Rivet scoop up bolts, Rift Apart is as smooth as butter.

Years of remasters and rereleases have cemented the idea that old games can look better than they did, but not as good as modern ones. Capcom rebuilding Resident Evil 2 from the ground up makes it a modern video game, a fantastic one at that. Leon and Claire have never looked this good and neither have the zombies and monsters terrorizing Raccoon City. The police station and underground lab look nearly life-like and every scare in the game is extra terrifying with how detailed the monsters are.

Even Tyrant looks awesome, in his own terrifying way. Microsoft Flight Simulator is a jaw-dropping achievement. The flight sim grants players access to the world, allowing them to plan and take trips to Earth's highest mountains, hottest deserts, and greatest metropolises.

The game's scope is impressive, and this ambition is more than matched by its technical prowess. Microsoft Flight Simulator is arguably the most realistic game of all time, with both the planes and locations authentically mirroring their real-life counterparts to the smallest detail.

Final Fantasy 7 has done it once again. When it was first released in , its stunning pre-rendered backgrounds, cutscenes, and battles were the most advanced that a game had ever looked. Needless to say, the Remake had a lot to live up to. Comparing the two games is night and day, but not simply due to the year difference in age.

The Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a fantastically beautiful game with some of the most immersive lighting and environments in all of gaming, and the character models for the main cast look a hundred times better than the already good-looking FF7 movie, Advent Children. Nothing against the previous installments of God of War but the soft reboot of the sequel is not only a vastly different game but a gorgeous one at that.

Whether you're looking for a game to enjoy with friends, or you're simply looking to experience the mysterious world of Diablo, it's definitely worth trying out this now-classic title today.

Here's hoping you get as many endless hours of fun out of playing it like so many other hundreds of millions of players have been doing for years. Grand Theft Auto V is definitively one of the most popular video games ever made. With the game setting more and more world records each year for its sales and popularity, and it's visible omnipresence in the gaming scene since its release with its numerous re-releases and alternate iterations , it's easy for most to see why this is one of the best PC games of all time.

But if you haven't had the chance to play GTA V before, you might be asking yourself — what exactly is it about Grand Theft Auto V that makes it such a critically acclaimed title? There are a lot of fantastic things about Grand Theft Auto V. One of the most striking features of the game is its actual story. Playing as three characters with different backgrounds and ideologies, you explore the world of Los Santos as you get to know its underbelly a little too familiarly.

Each character has their own compelling traits and viewpoints that make you feel like you truly grow to know them. Missions are extremely detailed and immersive, with gameplay varying from high-intensity battles to casual towing jobs. The beauty of the story of Grand Theft Auto is that it's essentially a albeit violent real-life simulator where players are free to explore, admire, and exist in the vast world of GTA V.

The gameplay is similar to previous titles, with driving, third-person shooter, and physical combat elements that all comprise a true tour de force. With such refined gameplay elements and in-game physics — especially in comparison to GTA IV, which was a beautiful title in its own right — alongside a vast arsenal of weapons, vehicles, houses, and so much more to obtain and experience, GTA's gameplay works alongside its story to make it one of the most replayable video games ever released.

All of this doesn't even include GTA Online, which is currently and has been for a few years the game's most popular mode. With the active economy and community in the world of GTA Online, you'll have tons left to do once you've completed the game's story. GTA V is a groundbreaking title for the action-adventure genre, but also for video games in general.

So it's easy to understand why it is, by far, one of the best PC games ever made. Minecraft is a game with boundless potential for enjoyability that's suitable for players of all ages.

As the most popular video game ever created, Minecraft obtained its icon status shortly after its release in November With its continued popularity — currently, there are million players — there are a variety of reasons that it's still worth it to give the game a chance if you haven't already. Minecraft is known for its extremely blocky art style with a simplistic yet expressive aesthetic, and its gorgeous accompanying soundtrack. There are five different core game modes: adventure mode, creative mode, survival mode, hardcore mode, and spectator mode.

In Adventure mode, players are able to experience worlds created by users while fighting various enemies and acquiring items. Creative mode allows you to use various objects and resources to create the worlds of your dreams — this is one of the modes that are most popular among players.

Then there's spectator mode, which allows you to free roam watch other players without actually playing. Survival mode is similar to adventure mode, spawning players in at varying difficulties and forcing them to collect items to build and defend themselves against enemies.

Between these modes and a multiplayer option, there's a ton of different ways to enjoy playing Minecraft. After nine years of players creating stages, there are tens of thousands of detailed landscapes and worlds for you to view and explore.

Minecraft is a game that fans of all types of genres can enjoy; Whether you're looking for a game to enjoy with family and friends, or you want to explore and create worlds of your own. The Witcher 3 is one of the most expansive RPG titles ever made. With a staggering amount of DLC, and an even more overwhelming story length, there's an endless amount of elements for fans and newcomers to enjoy from the moment you begin playing.

As Geralt of Rivia, a renowned Witcher person who hunts and slays beasts , you spend this game searching for your daughter, who's running from enigmatic, powerful forces. The Witcher 3 is as much an homage to the stories it's based on as it is an action RPG experience.

With such extreme attention to detail in terms of inclusions of novel-based content, those who are familiar with the series will be positively overwhelmed! Gameplay is refined and fantastic, with Geralt wielding multiple weapons one for beasts, one for humans , and having access to a variety of magic. The main missions involve decision trees and NPC interactions that will determine not only the fate of your story but the path of your progression.

The world is extremely vast and detailed — but more importantly, it doesn't feel empty, meaning you'll always be able to run as far as your eye can see just for the sake of exploration.

Whether you're exploring everything that its world has to offer, meeting in-game characters and fulfilling quests, or maybe just fighting every enemy within reach, the Witcher 3 has an astounding amount of content to experience that definitively solidifies it as one of the best PC games of all time.

Bethesda Studios is well known for its wide-spanning library filled with iconic series, including Elder Scrolls, Dishonored, Doom, and many more. But in particular, one of the studio's most acclaimed and groundbreaking series always stood out to fans — Fallout. From the cult-classic popularity of Fallout 3 to the more esoteric popularity of Fallout New Vegas, the series has earned millions of fans over the years.

But the release of Fallout 4 was probably the most noteworthy, with anticipation being at an unprecedented high. Fallout 4 was the series boldest entry yet, and went on to be one of the best-selling video games of all time. But what exactly are some of the elements that make this game one of the best PC games of all time?

First and foremost, it's graphics are crisp and clean, with the photorealistic, quirky art style of the Fallout series and of the Elder Scrolls series.

There is definitely a fair share of bugs and glitches, but that seems to be standard for the Creation Engine — the engine used for titles like Fallout 4 and Skyrim. The gameplay is similar to previous titles, with open-world exploration, decision trees, and character customization being the focal points.

In the world of Fallout 4, you're free to create the story as you experience the repercussions of the decisions you take. This involves joining different factions, finding and choosing between different companions, and making moral decisions that impact the plotline.

Combat is relatively standard for a third-person shooter, with a feature called VATS that allows you to aim at specific body parts and identify weaknesses. With more than hours of main and side-content not including the multiple DLCs , if you haven't tried Fallout 4 before, there's no better time than now to do so.

It's a fantastic game that, aside from occasional bugs and glitches, exceeded its expectations. Jedi: Fallen Order is a game that took many players by surprise; with the disappointing releases of the Battlefront reboots, many fans of Star Wars games weren't anticipating any upcoming titles — especially in the near future. One of the main things missing from Battlefront games was a feeling of depth; both Battlefronts at launch were relatively barren, under-developed, and lackluster.

Explain in a sentence or two why your picks are the best looking PS1 games. What do you consider to be the 3 best looking Playstation 1 games ever made? It doesn't necessarily have to be the game with the most graphical polygon pushing power. It can be a game that has a particular graphic style that is really unique or appealing, or it could have a graphical effect that elevates the game above all the others.

Please stick with games that still look good today. My three games are: Metal Gear Solid I don't know what it is, but to me this game still looks good over most PS1 games. I don't know if it's because everything has a blue or green tint all the time, or the sharp polygon models, but to me it still looks pretty and appealing.

Hayeya Member. Oct 29, 3, Lebanon. Tekken 3 Metal gear solid Chrono cross. Oct 29, Greece. I still remember how amazed I was when I first played them, and how much better they looked compared to their predecessors. KalBalboa Member. Oct 30, 5, Massachusetts. It's a hard list to whittle down.

Between art style and technical achievement, the PS1 was crazy diverse. Consider this post of mine a placeholder. I'll edit this post later with my real 3. Oct 27, 2, New Jersey. The Crash Bandicoot trilogy holds up very well in the visuals department.

If you were to smooth things out like the polygons and textures, they can probably pass off as early PS2 launch titles on the level of Jak 1. Oct 28, 4, Sure it was somewhat barren but graphically and the art it 'really' sold that world fantastically well. Danielsan Member. Oct 26, 3, The Netherlands.

It helps that it's a phenomenal game too. Danielsff Member. Aug 5, Lirion Member. Oct 25, 1, Replicant Member. Oct 25, 7, MN. I disagree on MGS and Tekken. I personally think Soul Blade is the better looking fighter, even with half the frame rate.

It makes up for it with much better backgrounds. For developers, there are plenty of great things about creating an open-world setting in a fictional location. One of the greatest is that there's no limit to how ambitious and extraordinary the game-world can look. The country suffers from frequent thunderstorms and tornados that will test not just the player's capability to survive, but the capabilities of their PC's hardware too.

When Assassin's Creed Origins took Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series in a more RPG centric direction, it wasn't just the gameplay that changed, but the franchise's already impressive visuals took a sharp increase in quality too. The games' visuals have been improving since, and the latest iteration, Valhalla has the best aesthetics yet. Valhalla takes players to Norway for the first time in the series , as well as taking them back to England; this time in the 9th century. Despite being set in Montana, United States, Far Cry 5 , much like Just Cause 4 , is set in a fictional location that gave the developers free-range to create a fantastic open-world.

Players aren't restricted to just admiring the world that the development team created though. In Far Cry 5, players can try their hand at creating their own open-world paradise with the map creator.

The third entry into the rebooted Tomb Raider series saw a shift in development teams, as Eidos-Montreal took over from Crystal Dynamic who developed the previous two games and just had a supporting role with Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Metro Exodus is the third entry into the Metro series and gave players an open world to explore for the first time in the series. The scenery is far from being the prettiest on this list though, as the game takes the player on a long journey across a post-apocalyptic Russia.

Don't let the premise fool you though, Exodus is far from being a walking simulator. In fact, the survival horror game's unsettling and atmospheric visuals will make gamers wish they were playing on N64 graphics. Forza Horizon 4 is a fitting game to follow Metro Exodus as a drive around an English countryside is a great way for players to put Metro 's post-apocalyptic horrors out of their minds. Along with a beautiful rendition of Great Britain, Forza Horizon 4 earns its spot on this list for adding changing seasons to the critically acclaimed Forza series ; a fantastic addition that will test even the most expensive rigs.
