Was Horizon Zero Dawn ever bested on a visual level?

Art direction is entirely subjective though.
Btw, I also love the art direction in HZD. One of my favorites this gen.
Are you seriously asking?
Of course, but the entire question "which game looks better" is entirely subjective. For me, Horizon simply looks better, and yes, this is subjective, ofc.
Yep.. this game is still the king of open world games this gen.. RDR2 is close second but this game is insane and 1.5 years older than RDR2.
i love this game
The Order 1886 is still the best looking game this gen.
Only if you have been in a coma for the last five years.

By far. I just hope for this level of visual fidelity on next gent titles (wont happen).
That's just her character model when she's a child. What's your point?
Red Dead 2's not only beautiful, but has a very impressive draw distance. Horizon doesn't have views like this.
Red Dead 2's also teeming with wildlife that looks and behaves incredibly well. Rabbits, deer, wild horses, coyotes, turkeys, etc. Outside of the small groups of Robo Dinos you deal with, I don't recall much wildlife in HZD. That adds to the overall beauty as well.
It's Horizon vs. RDR2 for sure, but for me I think the pure style of Horizon takes it over RDR.
That particular character model (and overall art direction, unless we consider an scenario where they screwed up the model/scene even when basing it on good artwork /reference material) doesn't hold up, at least compared with the rest of the game.
RDR2 usually has far better models in all protagonist and close up scenes.
I think RDR2 might look better on a technical level, but that seems easier when you're pulling from real world stuff. I prefer Horizon because not only is it technically impressive, but it also artistically more creative.
There is actually. Just not to the extent or detail that's in RDR2.
Honestly, the Division 1, a 2016 game, looks pretty much on par with what came years later. This gen has looked awesome for years now.
Yeah RDR2 has a more detailed Wild Life but HZD has a good amount of animals that you can hunt besides the mechas you fight against.
I hope we can all agree that the horses in rdr2 are the best looking horses yet, the way their muscles realistically ripple under the skin and the absurd range of realistic animation they have is really impressive.
There will always be times when the riding looks a bit goofy due to the horses being controlled like vehicles and not behaving like a living intelligent (relatively) animal, but that's a hard thing to get right in a video game, shadow of the colossus came close but rdr opted for you having more direct control and i think it works really well, the riding looks and feels right.

Oh god, the girl in the second pic looks eerily like a friend of mine.
i can't imagine thinking horizon looks better than red dead 2
maybe when then PC port eventually comes out we can have this conversation again, but it doesn't even come close to RDR2 on PC

The weird guy you met around bandit camp is also well portrayed.
Yes.
But what do you think about this particular model, and...actually, the entire scene?
The graphics might be better on RDR2 but HZD is 100% much nicer to look at.
Also, wait for Tsushima. And props to Order 1886 for looking as incredible as it did back then.
