Cyberpunk is great, amazing story and visuals.
Graphical fidelity. A good art style is a plus too
Cyberpunk 2077 fucking nailed the aesthetic it was going for - it has short comings but the visual immersion absolutely isn't one of them.
The game is absolutely gorgeous, so is the expansion. Start to finish it has an incredibly solid, interesting and suprsing plot. Just dripping with style and in universe asethic. You can really tell that the art department had a lot of fun with it.
Cyberpunk is good. Good game, great graphics.
Red Dead Redemption 2 also has high fidelity.
Agree. RDR2 may not be the best test of high end hardware though, since it was already beautiful on the PS4. Itβs just incredibly well optimised.
Iβd like to test my PC
Can it run Crysis?
I don't know if it's Linux compatible but Elite Dangerous is absolutely beautiful and really sets a strong tone.
Every single second during a playthrough of this game had out of this world graphics.
Prepare to be amazed!
Such good memories! This is an amazing game!
Alan Wake 2 legit blurs the line when presenting a character; between film footage and digitizing the actor. Even the games environments blend in photographed and filmed objects. It's a masterpiece of a game, with beautiful graphics, and a fun and bonkers story.
I should be playable from Epic Games Store via Lutris or similar. Or from sailing the high seas.
Nah, I'm not going to deal with pirating it or the epic games store
AW2 is DRM-free. I imagine it can be run completely independent of Epic. Youβd need the store to purchase and download it but you could probably even uninstall the Epic app afterwards. I havenβt tested this though, so please donβt just take my word for it.
Btw should I play Alan wake before Alan wake 2?
It helps to understand some of the deeper lore, but AW2 does a good job of letting you know the important bits so it's not necessary to have played the first one.
I'll sail the high seas
Satisfactory can be downright gorgeous, and it's a test of the hardware. I saw elsewhere in the thread your specs are a Ryzen 7700x, 32GB of RAM and a Radeon 7700xt. I have a similar built, but with a 7900GRE instead, I run Fedora KDE on this box. I'd be interested in comparing notes.
Notes?
I'd recommend Half Life: Alyx.
Or, you can probably make an absolute beast of Skyrim through mods.
Black Myth: Wukong
I think Hellblade 2 is one of the best looking games currently.
Try Minecraft FTB mod with 4k Texture Pack and Real life shaders with 512 chunk distance.
Or Just use nuts.wad
I'm currently into 3D factory building games, so I would recommend Techtonica or Satisfactory.
Or the OG factorio
I'm asking for games with epic graphics here
Dyson Sphere Program has the dark fog now, and is gorgeous. You may wanna check it out
Division 2 still holds up really well imo
Dyson Sphere Program is just visually stunning, and the factory building is pretty good too
The gameplay looks pretty meh, and the game is still in early access. I'll wait for it to exit this stage of development and then buy it.
Any of the Horizon games, genuinely some of the most beautiful games I have ever played. Zero Dawn has some downright beautiful winter environments. And while Iβve barely started Forbidden West, that game is a step up from the from the first game from the very first moment you get control of Aloy. So pretty! I recommend watching the trailers to see more
I can confirm this game is epic, as I have played it
Can it run Crysis?
Probably, I have a Ryzen 7 7700x, SAPPHIRE AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT PULSE 12GB GPU and 32 gigs of RAM
I'm not up to date with my computer components, but sounds impressive.
I have to include that my comment was a joke. Not sure if you know the reference? Sorry in advance if you do.
A significant chunk of people online consider Crysis a retro game.
Ouch. Why must you attack me so savagely. I'm hurt down to all the cracking joints I have when I run. (Joking of course, well not about the joints, but the rest)
Hey I feel it too hahaha. I played Prince of Persia back when he was a slow, constantly dying kid with no powers.
Haha. I didn't play it, but friends were playing it at the time. I guess we all get old haha.
