RDR2 is a good call. I also have to give a shoutout to Metro Exodus: it's stunning on a proper set.

Additionally, I still think Ryse looks a lot better than many games that came after it. Granted, it was a tiny and linear game.

 

[Wise]

Kingdom Hearts 3 for anime/jrpg/cartoony looking games

Red Dead Redemption 2, Uncharted 4 or Horizon Zero Dawn for realistic looking games

 

[Patitoloco]

RDR2, yes.

If not, it would be Uncharted 4.

 

[entremet]

RDR2

 

[Deleted member 5593]

Horizon ZD for me.

 

[bane833]

RDR 2 on X.

 

[Deleted member 6733]

Anthem.

 

[ZaddyMattty]

Definitely RD2, however, assuming graphics can get much better, BOTW will be the real winner.

 

[Kasey]

RDR2 for open world, Gears 4 for linear.

 

[ClarkusDarkus]

Tough because VR has made pancake TV graphics redundant personally, As in VR i get the wow moments, Going back to pancake visuals doesn't do it for me anymore no matter the resolution.

 

[Pein]

Horizon zero dawn

 

[Alienous]

I would say Red Dead Redemption 2. Sometimes you'll get a look at a field of grass leading up some mountains and it looks artistic. Light sources at night can also be very beautiful.

 

[Anno]

I think I'd say Ori and the Blind Forest. Maybe Witcher 3.

 

[vestan]

RDR2 has some stellar art direction, I'd say overall though, The Wolf Among Us and Dragon Ball FighterZ are the best looking games of this gen IMHO. I'm a complete sucker for games that prioritise NPR.

 

[Kismet]

Bloodborne

Best art direction and animation. Game looks amazing.

 

[Mezati99]

Uncharted 4 is a work of art

 

[XVerdena]

RDR2

 

[Theorry]

RDR2 from visuals to animations. Its just crazy even every NPC in the world has such good facial animations.

 

[Dancrane212]

Red Dead Redemption 2.

The material work is astounding.

 

[Dukie85]

For me, now, KH III. The Tangled world looks absolutely incredible, and I had to pause just to look at it.

 

[Deleted member 36493]

GoW for its genre

FH4 for its genre

 

[Chivalry]

Metro: Exodus.

 

[SuperSah]

Uncharted 4 and Horizon Zero Dawn are probably the most technically impressive.

However, BotW's visuals touched me in a different way. No game has ever given me an "airy, cool breezy Summer's day" vibe quite like BotW does. It's pretty remarkable, to be honest.

 

[Timppis]

Kingdom Hearts 3 art is what is good and pure about entertainment.

RDR2 was just beautiful in a really great way.

BOTW had a sense of grandeur and worldbuild like very few.

Gotta go with those three.

 

[PenultimateFantasy]

Or you know we could wait until the generation ends.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Resident Evil 2.

 

[Raijinto]

Spider-Man, KH3, Cuphead, Star Wars Battlefront, MK8D and ARMS- particularly in handheld mode for the latter 2 there.

 

[Nintendo]

RDR2 and Uncharted 4. Nothing comes close.

 

[Izzard]

Some games for me this gen..

The Order
Battlefront
Horizon ZD
Infamous SS
Uncharted 4
RD2
Wipeout

I'm sure there's more that I can't remember right now. And out of the listed, the one game that kept taking my breath away as I played it was Horizon ZD. A remarkably good looking game.

 

[Edgar]

RDR 2 , Uncharted 4 and Witcher 3. Have yet to play Metro Exodus

 

[space_nut]

FH4, RDR2, and Gears 4

 

[Memento]

Red Dead Redemption 2, Horizon Zero Dawn and Uncharted 4

 

[Deleted member 19924]

[Much]

RDR2 and HZD.

 

[galv]

 

[ussjtrunks]

Shadow of the tomb raider on PC is mind blowing so I'm going to say that

 

[Zhukov]

Horizon Zero Dawn I guess.

For me to stop and just look at stuff for the sake of looking is pretty rare. That game made me do it on a semi regular basis. No other game this generation has done that.

 

[The Last One]

I'll go with God of War, KH III, Horizon, Uncharted 4, Resident Evil 2 and Mario Odyssey.

 

[Damn Silly]

Probably Ori or Cuphead. Two games that absolutely nail their aesthetic.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst certainly has its moments of beauty too.

 

[Systolique]

Anthem is up there, but as always there are just so many good looking games this generation...
God of War for sure, Persona 5 UI was fantastic, the atmospheric landscapes from Horizon and Witcher 3, Uncharted 4 is a technical marvel... it never ends !

 

[MrS]

Metro Exodus or GoW

 

[Odeko]

I'm torn between Dark Souls 3 and Hollow Knight. They're both such beautiful games in completely different ways.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Cuphead and it's not even close.

Hollow Knight is up there though.

 

[Jiraiya]

Sea of thieves and rd2 on the x. Just...amazing talent on both teams.

 

[jem]

Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best looking game in motion.

Forza Horizon 4 is the best looking game in photomode

 

[Spider-Man]

Arkham Knight not even mentioned. Shame on you all!

 

[modiz]

the thing about red dead, is as good looking as that game is, it doesnt have stuff as complex in models as, say the machines in horizon zero dawn.
it looks that good because it is the most grounded game ever. another issue i have with red dead is the blurryness. really bad.

which is why i will give my vote to horizon. because horizon does a lot more things while being very close to matching RDR2 in pure graphics comprison.

 

[theotherMittens]

Shadow of the Colossus at least deserves a mention.

 

[Escaflow]

Out of the games I have played , Horizon Zero Dawn is up there on the technical department . Art style goes to Bloodborne .
