When choosing a game, many gamers first of all pay attention to the visual design, and only then to the mechanics and storylines.
It is for this reason that the developers are especially trying to design the trailers so that users fall in love with the new product at first sight. This article contains 10 of the most beautiful games of the decade.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Rockstar Games, which gave us the legendary Grand Theft Auto franchise, is also best known for another Red Dead Redemption masterpiece. The second part of the series is the last game from Rockstar’s. It was released in late 2018 as a temporary console exclusive. The Wild West game immediately won the hearts of gamers, who released hundreds of reviews, with an emphasis on meticulous attention to detail. And this is not casual: in addition to the magnificent visual design, the game is actually thought out to the smallest detail that affects the entire course of events. Each location allows you to feel like a participant in a real western.
The Witcher 3
Released in 2015, The Witcher broke all records, still remaining one of the most beautiful games. The Witcher series has always been famous for its well-developed open world, but the third part will be remembered by gamers for a long time for its beautiful landscapes and vibrant cities. Despite the fact that the game is a little over 6 years old, it still surprises and fascinates with its views.
Ghost of Tsushima
Exclusive to the PlayStation 4 and 5 console that takes the player to Japan to admire its beauty. Many gamers in the reviews even wrote that they enter the game not for the sake of battles and the plot, but for the sake of calmness and pacification. And this is not surprising: fogs, sunrises, flowering trees and swaying grass have a meditative effect and look like this is a video from Japan, and not a game on a console.
Detroit: Become Humane
Real interactive cinema: shining lights of cars on the night freeway, falling snow, glowing skyscrapers. Everything is exactly what futurism should look like. The visuals of the game itself are simply mind-blowing. And cut-scenes are also added, the graphics in which are one level higher. These advantages are complemented by the fact that the game is non-linear and can be played dozens of times in a row.
Death Stranding
Death Stranding is one of those games where the action takes place not against the backdrop of skyscrapers and neon signs, but surrounded by wildlife: mountains, rivers and forests. And all this beauty is an obstacle in the path of the hero, who fulfills his mission. Wastelands, similar to the endless expanses of Scandinavia or Iceland, will become the main obstacle in the delivery of the cherished package. You can compare the game with a kind of tourist trip simulator, where the gamer is given the opportunity to enjoy the picturesque beauty of the open world.
Forza Horizon 4
The majestic nature of Great Britain, the change of seasons, realistic graphics and thousands of cars from real life. What else do you need for complete relaxation? Choose any car: you can take a hypercar for millions of dollars or the usual car that drives you to work in the morning. And hit the road. The game is played in the first person, thanks to which you can feel this atmosphere and enjoy the ride to its fullest.
Microsoft Flight Simulator
Representative of the next generation of games. Every geographic feature of planet Earth is recreated on the Microsoft simulator map. Wherever your home is, you can visit it. And most importantly, it will look almost the same as in real life. Not every computer will be able to pull this monster at 60 FPS at maximum.
Cyberpunk2077
The brainchild of CD Project Red has caused a lot of controversy: some say that the game is terrible, that it has a lot of bugs and a very weak plot, while others believe that the plot is brilliant, and the project has set an insurmountable bar for the next five years. You can argue for a long time, but both camps agree with one fact: the game came out really beautiful. When properly configured, Night City looks impressive: dozens of majestic skyscrapers, flying holographic fish – all against a dazzling backdrop created by bright sunlight.
Spider-Man
A PlayStation exclusive from INSOMNIAC will let gamers fly around New York on the web, battling dozens of super villains. Even if you are not in the mood to fight street gangs, you can make a fascinating air trip, just admiring the views.
Metro Exodus
At one time, the Metro series received more than modest funding. However, this fact absolutely did not prevent 4A GAMES from making a worthy AAA project with a detailed post-apocalyptic world of the Soviet wasteland.
