Now with all major releases out of the way and many of them being incredible lookers, it's time to repick the best looking game. The last time we had a poll of this type God of War was in the lead with RDR 2 not far behind.

Best Graphics Poll (Fall 2019)

RDR2 PC is the most technically impressive for sure (assuming), not sure if that's what you are asking though.
Honestly, I want to give it to RDR, but some of those Modern Warfare levels with ray traced shadows are mindblowing. They're the two best looking games out now, IMO.
Modern Warfare is the first time I've felt that I've gotten a glimpse at what next gen can offer. RDR2 is more consistent overall, and shows the absolute very best that this gen has offered.

Although I'm in many ways more impressed with what other games have accomplished at 60fps on consoles, it's still RDR2 for me. Largely comes down to the scale and lighting, as well as the variety of naturalistic environments. It's just one of my favorite games to look at.
Imo graphics contain both. Tech without art, no graphics, and art without tech also no graphics.
Have you played MW with RTX? I've found RTX to largely be a letdown in Metro. The game looks decent overall, but the lighting feels like a let down. RTX does nicely in a few places (mostly rooms exposed to the outdoors but obstructed from the sun), but overall it doesn't feel like it offers a significant upgrade over traditional lighting to warrant the absolutely massive performance drop. Outside of RTX, the game does not look that particularly great to me. 1080p gives me good performance with RTX, but the AA implementation is very poor to the point where I need to supersample by at least 50% to get acceptable image quality, at which point I'm teetering around 60fps with an RTX 2070 Super. MW on the other hand offers a next-gen level improvement to lighting through shadows with a paltry 20% hit to performance.

Oh wow, I'm an idiot. Will a mod please close the thread?
Why would you release this poll mere days before the definitive version of the game that nearly won last time is released? I mean, maybe it'll have issues and look nowhere near as much an upgrade as it could over the 1X version, but surely it makes more sense to wait and see?
unfortunately not, I only played the ps4 pro version of MW. But it still looked great so I believe that rtx makes it next level.
Voted Horizon Zero Dawn. I'm still using a screenshot from the photo mode thread in the old place as my desktop wallpaper. It's a purple looking vista with canyons, such a gorgeous game.
I definitely recommend you give it a try! It's by no means perfect, but it's truly astounding how good it looks especially considering how well it performs. Digital Foundry has a great video on it:
People are going to disagree with this but for me it's still the two GOWs followed by RDR2.
God of War
Gears 5
RDR2
Control
God of War
Gears 5
RDR2
Control
I swear I see a different game when I see horizon zero dawn then most people, I mean it looks good but not the second best, I wouldn't even put it top 3.

C'mom Leng, I think everyone has seen enough of RDR 2 and DS to know whether the rendering and art style is for them. A Plague Tale looks great indeed, it slipped my mind unfortunately.
