Beautiful graphics in games. The best MMORPG with good graphics

I'm sure many will say that choosing games with the best graphics is easier than, for example, games with best story or with the most unpredictable ending. In the end, . But it's not that simple. Some things are really easy to evaluate - the quality of lighting, the realistic display of various materials (that is, does the metal body of the car look plastic) - everything is clear here.

But it happens that the engine is great, but the designers screwed up a little, and then we see not the best animations, primitive and monotonous landscapes, and so on. But it also happens differently - not the most powerful engine (hello Skyrim), but thanks to the efforts of the developers, everything and even more has been squeezed out of it. What is this all I'm leading to? Even a TOP 10 like this can be a little (just a little) subjective, because different people can evaluate game graphics differently.

Another thing you should remember is that games that have already been released are rated here. at the moment– that is, until January 2016. Therefore, projects such as Deus Ex: Mankind Divided And Dishonored 2(and others due out during 2016) will not be mentioned. And now that all the i's have been dotted, let's move on to our review.

10. Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain

Last Metal Gear (really the last one, because Hideo Kojima left, but the plot ended) amazes not only with its plot and gameplay. There are also excellent graphics here. Magnificent landscapes of the jungle and deserts, conversations with partners, excellent visual implementation of all game moments (for example, kidnapping pets using miniature balloons). Weather effects and changes in time of day are commonplace here. You can specially start landing in the evening, in order to admire the sunset, you can enjoy watching the explosion you created. It's not about shaders and pixels (although the engine is really good), the whole point is in the very atmosphere that the game's graphics create. And it deserves as much praise as the plot.

9. Call of Duty: Black Ops 3

A great depiction of a dystopian future. The smoke and explosions look great, the cityscapes are pleasing to the eye, and the characters don't look like plastic bobbleheads. The levels are varied, some are gloomy, others are a typical theater of war, and others... well, this is something strange, but, nevertheless, very beautiful. And if we remember the characters again, the facial animation is very well done. Here you can immediately see emotions, you don’t have to guess them, here you believe the actors, and this is worth a lot. In general, the game can be praised for its graphics. It’s just a pity that the plot let us down – but that’s a completely different story.

8. Project CARS

The graphics in this racing simulator are excellent. Every detail of your car is worked out, shiny surfaces don't look like varnished plastic, and weather effects not only affect the gameplay, but are also simply beautiful. And most importantly, when you’re rushing through the rain (the weather here changes in real time), or towards the sunset, don’t forget to breathe, because everything is so beautiful that it’s simply breathtaking. Yes, the game has some arcade feel, and in some places the gameplay is not the most sophisticated - but a lot can be forgiven for such graphics.

7. Batman: Arkham knight

A story about a famous Dark Knight It's not so much the level of special effects as it is the sophisticated design. No, we don’t have any special complaints about the engine - rain looks like rain, wet surfaces shine, everything explodes as expected - but that’s not the whole point. The most important thing is the elaboration of the city landscapes. Not the cardboard props of many shooters, but a real city with real, living people. Here you believe that this is an office building with many workers, “blue” and “white” collars, and this is a classic residential area. There is no falsehood, and therefore you understand much better and faster who you came to protect. In general, this is the same case when the designers squeezed everything that was possible out of the engine.

6. Witcher 3

Someone may be indignant about how he got here The Witcher 3. Yes, there was a situation that the developers themselves admitted - for the release version they somewhat reduced the quality of the graphics, because in the form in which the game was originally, no console would have supported it. But, firstly, many patches have been released to correct this problem. And secondly, the game should be praised, first of all, for the work of the designers, in particular for the way the nature is made here. Glares of light on the water, trees swaying in the wind, dust raised by the wind. Here the nature is not just realistic - here you believe that this is that very reality. Therefore, the game definitely deserves praise for the picture on the monitor.

5. Star Wars: Battlefront

In this game, the bet was made on nostalgic fans of the famous saga, who will not tolerate falsehood, and who need that very picture from that very film. Landscapes are easily recognizable and look literally photorealistic. Without any clue, we can say that this is Endor with its tall forests, and these are the deserts and canyons of Tatooine. And what kind of space is there and what kind of battles... Everything looks just great even on consoles, not to mention PC. Despite the fact that the game is not as dynamic as many other shooters, you can calmly enjoy all these beauties. In general, if you want to look at familiar landscapes up close, welcome to the front line.

4. Rise of the Tomb Rider

The same one. In the new part, the graphics clearly did not disappoint. Animal tracks in the snow, which can be used to track prey (by the way, this applies not only to animals). A camera that tries to show us all the delights of local landscapes. And Lara herself, who is always nice to look at. Speaking of landscapes, sometimes you just want to admire nature, and the game even encourages us to do this, giving us short breaks. What else is interesting about the picture - everything here is not only beautiful, everything here is also logical. These are not paper models, these are real houses, cars, trees and mountains. And here's another thing... When Lara does her acrobatic tricks, try not to stare too much, yeah?

3. Bloodborne

A strange situation with this game - magnificent dark landscapes, classic gothic as it is, well-made opponents, sometimes striking with their terrifying grandeur, sometimes causing genuine disgust - and no opportunity to admire it all. As soon as you gape, your head is torn off, just like in classic Gothic works. As a result, you never stop noticing all the beauties, no – they just put you in the right mood. You don’t expect anything good here, and you quickly realize that these abandoned ruins were abandoned for a reason, and the blood on the walls is not decoration, but the remains of unlucky visitors. The picture perfectly complements the plot and gameplay, and does not stand alone, and this is pleasing.

2. Order: 1886

If you try to briefly describe this game, the following definition comes to mind - gothic interactive cinema. And, as in any movie, the picture is very important here. The detail and elaboration of the surrounding world is simply shocking. The first moments you just sit slack-jawed in front of the screen and admire the details of the environment. Everything has been worked out, even the smallest objects, and we can see them all up close. Then, when you break away from this activity a little, the landscapes begin - and then again you fall into prostration for a short time. And then the movie (in the sense of action with shootouts) begins, which delivers the “finishing blow”. Yes, the game is short, but its graphics are simply amazing.

1. Dying Light

One could say that this is just a game about zombies with everything that goes with it, but fans might inadvertently beat you up for this. And they will be right, by the way. In addition to the fact that the gameplay and plot are not entirely typical (In terms of gameplay, it’s a very good survival game, and in terms of the plot... in general, I won’t spoil it here, it’s better to see for yourself), the game also has excellent graphics. The characters behave as if they were alive, their movements do not look wooden, and emotions can be guessed without words. A quick glance, a fleeting smile or a grimace of disgust - all this and much more simply fits into the phrase “facial animation”. But all the delights of the graphics don’t end with the characters. The cityscapes are impressive. When you look at the city from the rooftops, it is simply breathtaking. And when you walk around the apartments, it becomes really scary. Neat furniture, beautiful wallpaper cheerful coloring - and splashes of blood with swirling flies. We have already seen all this, but it was in Dying Light it really gets under your skin. In general, the game has such excellent graphics and design work that only the highest score can be given for it.

If just 10 years ago the graphics in games were, to put it mildly, with slightly noticeable polygons and angular textures, today games can boast of a very realistic world with detailed drawing and lighting close to real life. Sometimes it becomes difficult at first glance to distinguish what is in front of you, gameplay footage or footage shot on a camera with a blur filter applied. Today, we’ll look at just such games.

Over the past year, they have been released great projects, which can boast of their realism and help the player to completely immerse themselves in the virtual world. Let's look at the most popular games with realistic graphics according to the gamers themselves.

Our top contains games released over the past 5 years, including 2017. If you are interested in games with the most realistic graphics that will be released in 2018, then watch this video:

Top 10 games with incredible graphics 2018 | The most anticipated games on PS4, Xbox, PC

Now let's look at games with realistic graphics that have been out for a long time and you can play them right now.

Project Cars

But the graphic component can shock a person who has not seen good pictures in games. The developers tried to make everything so close to reality that sometimes you get the feeling that you are really watching a program about racing. All models are made of very high quality.

The game looks photorealistic. But in everything else it’s mediocre, which is why it received low ratings from both critics and audiences.

This game came out from the hands of the developers Guerilla Games and saw the world in 2017. However, you can only play it on the PS4 console. There is no PC port yet, but it is likely that there will be one soon. The developers did not give a definite answer. The game is very fresh and not similar to previous “hog killing” simulators.

The game's setting immerses us in a style that has never been used before. The German company was able to mix primitiveness with the technological revolution. The player will have to visit an unexplored planet, the flora and fauna of which is very similar to the era of dinosaurs. Moreover, absolutely everything is connected with unusual futuristic technology.

The developers managed to convey the atmosphere completely with the help of excellent graphics. And she really amazes the imagination here. Advanced technologies are used, which may set a mandatory level for any “AAA” game project.

GTA V

Well, there is no way to ignore the creation of Rockstar Games on this list. These guys always came out with games that became cult and super popular. What is the value of just one of their series – Grand? Theft Auto. By the way, it was these games that gave the company wide popularity.

In the fifth part of the “bad guys” simulator, they decided to focus on graphics. And it worked out great. The graphics are very realistic. Players on PC can enjoy the most beautiful picture.

The giant of the video card industry, Nvidia, just at the time of the game’s release, introduced technologies that make the usual “plasticine” graphics more realistic. The main work was done on shadows, clouds, reflections, post-processing, hair and decals.

But GTA V is interesting not only in terms of graphics. The developers focused on the realism of the game world. It worked out great, with most of the characters constantly busy with their own things. They sleep at night, go to work in the morning, walk and relax in the evening, and interact with each other. Strange events are constantly happening, which really enliven the world and keep the player busy for a couple of extra hours.

This game can be called the most realistic game in the world, but, as you know, not everyone will like it. Moreover, on a PC it has serious requirements for a comfortable game with maximum graphics quality.

Adding a multiplayer game mode is a great move on the part of the developers. This allows many gamers to cooperate to complete missions and increases replayability. I want to go into the game again every day.

Uncharted 4

The game from Naughty Dog turned out great. The highest reviews from critics, similar opinions from players. All games in the series are adventure shooters that have a fairly rich and detailed world. This part in graphically it came out simply masterpiece.

Sometimes during the game it seems that the developers meticulously drew every cobblestone, even in places where it would seem to be completely unnecessary. The highest texture resolution shows that the emphasis was placed on graphics. And it was the right decision.

The atmosphere is well conveyed by the style of the image, elaborate shadows, and light. The musical accompaniment, as always, does not lag behind. All this, coupled with a well-written plot, which, by the way, continues the story of the previous game, makes players start the game again and again.

In general, all fans of stunning graphics are recommended to play through.

Infamous: Second Son

The games in the Infamous series are made in a genre that is unusual for many players. You have to play as a hero who can absorb the “superpower” of others. The main genre of the game is action, but there is an open world, which is extremely unusual for such games.

The game has a moral choice, which is presented in the following form. the player will need at the very beginning what he will do as the game progresses: a hero who helps everyone or a villain who cares only about his own personal goals.

The gameplay has been expanded compared to previous parts. Now you can have in your arsenal not one or two elements, but four at once. But the plot is not executed at the highest level. In principle, the game stands out not for its sharp and intense plot, but for its advanced graphics.

The graphics are really well thought out. All effects from fire, lightning and other things are made very realistic. The textures are high resolution and well drawn. Lighting effects, shadows, object physics - all this makes the game stand out from others. The graphical component is the strongest aspect of this game.

Star Citizen

It is very difficult to say anything about this game since it is under development. According to the developers, it will turn out great and will feature chic, well-designed, realistic graphics.

As the name suggests, the game will be related to space. The player will need to build relationships with other residents. It will be possible to trade with some, and you will have to fight with others. According to its concept and description, the result will be something very suitable and of high quality, which the average gamer has not yet had time to get tired of.

Far Cry Primal

The Far Cry series is one of the most popular shooters in the niche with open world. In their new part, the developers decided to conduct an experiment. They combined a shooter with a primitive world. It turned out very good and fresh.

One of the unique features of the game is the ability to tame wild animals. The function looks interesting. Just imagine what it’s like to run around with a bow and have a saber-toothed tiger as your assistant. At the very least, this is unusual for such games.

The graphics especially stand out. Made with high quality. The developers did a good job on the animals, effects, light and shadows. It turned out to well transfer the atmosphere of that time and immerse the player in this world. The game is highly acclaimed by critics and the community.

The game was one of the first to claim realism. It was in it that the developers first tried to connect with real life not only the plot, but also the graphics and atmosphere. But at the time of development there were no special technical means, so the game turned out not at the highest level. Not only critics, but also most players speak about this.

Multiplayer deserves special mention. This is really strong point games. There are no cheaters here, which are not uncommon in other shooters of this type. For example, in Call of Duty, Battlefield this is an eternal problem. At the moment, the graphics are no longer advanced, but as the progenitor of the path of realism in games, it is a very good project.

Tom Clancy's the Division is a slow-paced shooter with tactical elements. The battles take place at a leisurely pace. The plot is quite simple and boring. Only the names and situations change. In this particular game, the player will have to shoot the “bad guys” in New York. But the implementation has already been done better. You can complete missions either alone or in a company of up to four people.

The graphics are done well. It is immediately clear that the developers focused on it. As always, working with shadows, lighting, and effects does its job - it conveys the atmosphere that the developer wanted to convey. In principle, the project turned out to be interesting, especially if the gamer has the opportunity to play with friends.

Bottom line

As you can see, the gaming industry does not stand still and is constantly evolving. And he is moving forward by leaps and bounds. Every year more and more excellent products appear that allow you to have a great time in your free time. Perhaps someone will argue that graphics are not important for the game.

This is partly true, but the validity of this judgment cannot be extended to all genres. Agree that for an RPG, for example, not only the graphical component is important, but also a deep atmosphere, dialogues, good voice acting, an interesting plot worked out to the smallest detail.

But in racing games, few people pay attention to these components. Because most of the time the player is in the race and looking at the picture. Of course, there are exceptions to any rule, but the vast majority fall within the framework of this rule.

It’s simply impossible to name the best game with the most realistic graphics. Here everything depends on individual perception and there simply cannot be a single correct opinion. All games featured are selected and described based on overall player ratings and reviews.

Are you the owner of a modern Android device? Then you wouldn’t mind checking out its capabilities to the fullest - both processor power and screen quality - all of this is best able to demonstrate games with fairly complex and beautiful graphics, which Google Play, as it turned out, not so little.

The best graphics on Android: what does this concept include? Spectacular landscapes and realistic characters, console-level animation and amazing detail - all this is in our selection of games.

CSR Racing 2

CSR Racing 2 is perhaps the most realistic and stylish racing game you can find for Android devices. Incredibly detailed graphics, licensed famous sports cars, drawn so accurately that the line with reality is blurred - that’s what this racer from NaturalMotionGames is all about. Therefore, his choice is not at all surprising - it is difficult to find a more beautiful game. But its essence is not only in the visual parameters - the gameplay here is no less impressive than the graphics.

MORTAL KOMBAT X

In this development from Warner Bros. Not only will you meet familiar characters from the famous fighting game series, but you will also encounter promising newcomers, take part in brutal and uncompromising matches and enjoy the quality of both controls and graphics. It is practically indistinguishable from the console version, which will allow your battles to be surprisingly spectacular and realistic.

Modern Combat 5: Blackout

Without this shooter from Gameloft, our list would be incomplete - it is included in the list of games with best quality graphics since their appearance on mobile platforms. Its spectacular shootouts take place in carefully drawn locations, and the explosions and special effects will not leave you indifferent - it looks exciting literally from the first frames.

Godfire: Rise of Prometheus

The graphics of this game are simply incredible - the Unreal Engine allowed the authors from Vivid Games to demonstrate to gamers amazing special effects, the play of light and shadow, realistically animated characters and spectacular landscapes, against which dynamic and bloody battles take place. The game's setting invites you to a time when gods and titans ruled the roost, and the epic and large-scale events of ancient myths were reality - you won't be able to tear yourself away from this, believe me.

Assassin's Creed Identity

Ubisoft developed this action-RPG for mobile platforms using the Unity engine, so we have no doubts about the graphical parameters of the game. Italy during the Renaissance is beautiful - and this is your chance to see it for yourself. Choose a class, customize and develop your assassin, complete missions and go through quests - there is so much content here that you will not get bored. Your character will be able to move freely around the game world, visiting real existing places, and this excursion into the Middle Ages will be surprisingly addictive.

The Talos Principle

One of the best and most entertaining PC puzzlers from the developers from DevolverDigital has become mobile, but, unfortunately, it is only compatible with devices running on NVIDIA K1 or X1 processors. However, we have included this game on our list, if only because its graphics are incredibly beautiful. And this is not counting its other advantages - a huge number of stylish puzzles, intuitive controls and a deep plot.

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath

A balanced combination of action gameplay, adventure elements and stunning graphics is what this development from Oddworld Inhabitants Inc. represents. The authors promise us 20 hours of exciting action in the role of a strange-looking bounty hunter who arrives in an abandoned village inhabited by equally, if not more strange creatures. This Wild West story is packaged in a visually whimsical yet incredibly beautiful packaging– download and enjoy.

The Walking Dead: Season Two

This acclaimed adventure series from Telltale Games is divided into seasons of several episodes each and impresses not only with its well-thought-out storyline, but also with its stunning, stylized graphics. The game's characters are based on the characters from the series "The Walking Dead", and the authors managed to convey both their appearance and character in the best possible way. Play as your favorite heroes, feel the chilling horror of clashes with zombies, survive in inhospitable locations - a ton of emotions is guaranteed to you.

Horn™

Looking for console-quality graphics and a fun action-adventure game? Then Phosphor Games Studio has something to offer you: their development Horn has all the necessary qualities to make it difficult to put down. The adventures of a young blacksmith await you, who is trying to free the inhabitants of his village by returning them to their former appearance. He will have to fight incredible monsters and see picturesque locations, solve many puzzles and return harmony to his world.

The Room Three

It would be impossible not to mention this stylish, physics-based game on our list. real world puzzle. The world of this game is interactive and responds to your every gesture, objects are drawn in surprisingly detail, and each of them hides many secrets that you have to uncover. The combination of a mysterious atmosphere with quality graphics amazes the imagination and does not allow you to stop - this game is so addictive that you will definitely want to complete it to the end.

However, not all positions in our selection can boast of millions of polygons and advanced graphic “goodies”, but they captivate with their beautiful art and a visual style that is meticulously adjusted to the smallest detail. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the editorial top of the most beautiful games, but you can challenge or supplement our opinion in the comments to this article.

Update from 03/18/2018: Added the game Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition

12. Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition

Having announced the PC version of jRPG Final Fantasy XV, released in 2016, Square Enix promised to make it not an ordinary port, but the best version, ahead of the console version by a whole generation. And it kept its promise: on PC the game looks truly amazing, delighting gamers with clear textures, long draw distances, realistic lighting, soft shadows, as well as unique graphical goodies from Nvidia such as detailed simulation of grass, animal hair, smoke and fire.

11. Call of Duty: WWII

10. Paragon

8.Grand Theft Auto V

At the time of its release, the fifth part of the Grand Theft Auto series firmly occupied the top of the top most beautiful games. Today it doesn’t look so impressive, but it’s still capable of competing with modern projects, and with the settings turned up to maximum, including resource-hungry anti-aliasing, it can also load top-end configurations to the maximum.

GTA V is included in our selection thanks to the developers' careful attention to the smallest details and the diversity of content in the game world. In addition, enthusiasts have released many mods for the project that improve the already beautiful picture, so GTA still has something to surprise the demanding gamer.

7. Divinity: Original Sin 2

This game fascinates with the brightness of the picture and the riot of special effects. The world of Divinity: Original Sin 2 is so colorful and filled with details that in the heat of battle it sometimes becomes difficult to find your characters. The advantages of local graphics are added by the well-implemented ability to use the environment - spilled oil can be set on fire, and a lightning bolt can be shot into a puddle, and sometimes you do this not to win a battle, but to simply admire the beautiful effects.

6. Ori and the Blind Forest

5. Forza Motorsport 7

The top five graphical heavyweights opens with a racing simulator from Turn 10 Studios. The PC version of the game received the most realistic graphics and acquired support for all modern technologies, including 4K resolution and HDR.

Forza Motorsport 7 features more than 700 cars, each of which can be viewed in great detail inside and out, as well as 200 detailed tracks in 30 famous locations with varying weather conditions. It's worth driving around the Nürburgring in rainy weather to give this game the title of the most beautiful race in the world.

4.Battlefield 1

The Frostbite engine in the hands of its creators is capable of producing stunning images - this is proven by the shooter Battlefield 1 in the setting of the First World War.

The developers showed war not only terrible, but also beautiful: mesmerizing fire and smoke, realistic rain, believable animation - sometimes you can easily catch a bullet while admiring the game’s special effects. Well, those who have ever seen the crash of an airship - with the accompanying explosions, flying debris and destruction - unanimously agree that Battlefield 1 is one of the most beautiful projects to date.

3. Assassin's Creed Origins

In the next release of the popular game series, Ubisoft moved the action to ancient Egypt, while squeezing all the juice out of the Anvil Engine.

Assassin's Creed Origins does not limit the player's freedom of movement, so here you can saddle up a horse at any time and go exploring huge world who has something to show. Majestic pyramids, endless deserts, picturesque oases - exotic landscapes enchant and capture, and the support of modern graphics technologies makes the picture on the monitor incredibly detailed and alive.

2. Destiny 2

The first part of the fantastic franchise did not visit personal computers, but the second came out on the PC immediately with all the possible advantages of this platform - high resolution, unlocked frame rate, support for three monitors, HDR, and viewing angle adjustment. Not without ultra-clear textures, advanced lighting and other effects that can warm up top-end video cards.

Bungie studio developed the PC version of Destiny 2 separately from the console versions, and it shows. Fantastic views of planets solar system are amazing, and battles are accompanied by sheaves of sparks, a riot of explosions and particles flying in all directions. And even though the game came out on computers a month and a half later than on consoles, the wait was worth it.

1. Star Wars Battlefront 2

The first place in our top is occupied by the most beautiful game on PC today is the shooter Star Wars Battlefront 2. The Swedes from DICE again managed to demonstrate the superiority of the Frostbite engine over its competitors - no other game can boast of such a colorful, lively, breathtaking picture.

Owners of powerful configurations will enjoy the effects of dynamic lighting, particles, HDR, advanced shading, and high-resolution textures, which will make views of distant planets in a galaxy far, far away seem more realistic than the landscapes outside the window. However, budget builds the game will also show quite a beautiful picture - the engine flexibly adapts even to weak computers.

What's on consoles?

Technically, the PS4 and Xbox One are not as powerful as a modern gaming PC: in multi-platform games, the graphics on the consoles are roughly equivalent to the high settings of the PC versions. But thanks competent work For programmers, artists and game designers, console exclusives are quite capable of surprising gamers with their visual beauty. Players who want to enjoy excellent graphics on PS4 should pay attention to projects such as Uncharted 4: A Thief`s End, The Order: 1886, Killzone: Shadow Fall, Bloodborne, Horizon Zero Dawn (and next year also God of War, Spider-Man and Days Gone). On Xbox One, Quantum Break, Gears of War 4, Forza Motorsport 6, Forza Horizon 3, Halo 5: Guardians, Halo Wars 2, Sunset Overdrive will enjoy beautiful pictures.

Conclusion

Even the most beautiful game, packed to the brim with technology, will become a boring dummy if the developers, in pursuit of the picture, forget about an interesting story and exciting gameplay. Therefore, I want game makers to always be able to correctly maintain a balance between graphics, plot and gameplay, and for gamers to value not only a beautiful wrapper, but also high-quality content.

22.11.2018 Pavel Makarov

At the dawn of the development of the gaming industry, gamers were amazed beautiful graphics in games such as Half Life, Quake 3 or Unreal Tournament. At the time of their release, these games were among the most technically advanced. But time does not stand still, and playing hits of past years now does not have the same admiration. The development of graphics in games was significantly influenced by DirectX technology - the API used to create games for the operating system. Windows systems. Starting with DirectX 8.0, shader support appeared. Simply put, the creation of beautiful realistic pictures with visual effects was now handled by the video card processor instead of the central processor. Thanks to this technology, we have realistic graphics in modern games.

In this review, we invite you to get acquainted with the list of the best games in our opinion with beautiful graphics for the PC platform.
