This year is full of amazing game releases and there are plenty we haven’t even seen yet like the next Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty, Star Wars Battlefront 2 and so on. Nonetheless, what we have seen looks fairly jaw-dropping regardless of your stance on video game “graphics”. Take a gander at 15 of the most graphically intensive games out in 2017 and tell us what you think is the most gorgeous.
1. The Witcher 3
While console gamers are still arguing over whether the latest Witcher 3 patch dialled down the game's graphics, members of the PC elite have been firing up CD Projekt's epic third-person adventure in a blaze of 4K glory.Rendered natively, The Witcher 3's highly-detailed environments look nothing short of incredible in 4K - from Novigrad's sprawling architecture to its red sunlit fields, not to mention its spiny Echinops, grotesque Bloedzuigers and veiny Cemetaurs. Having your face ripped off has never looked so beautiful.Nitpickers may point out that Wild Hunt's backgrounds and foliage don't match up to what was shown in pre-release promo shots, something that's increasingly becoming par for the course for PC gamers, but even so it's still one of the best-looking games out there.
2. Dishonored
Nominated for several 'Best Graphics' and 'Best Art Style' industry awards upon release, Dishonored wasn't exactly a bad-looking game in 2012. Crank up the pixels, however, and Dunwall's retro-future-industrial aesthetic is elevated to a whole new level of dystopian beauty.Taking time to admire its convincing water effects, Orwellian-era buildings like the Hound Pits Pub, and bizarre Pandyssian wildlife, ogling Dishonored's visuals in 4K can prove a welcome distraction to clearing your name of murder.
3.Total War: Warhammer 2
The second chapter in Creative Assembly’s Warhammer trilogy is here, and it’s yet another fantastic RTS featuring epic, sprawling battles and incredibly deep gameplay systems.Bringing with it an assortment of new races and mechanics, Warhammer offers an experience fans of Games Workshop will find difficult resist. While somewhat overwhelming to newcomers, veterans of the genre won’t be able to resist the intense level of depth of offer here.
4. NieR Automata
From a purely action standpoint, NieR: Automata puts many open-world ARPGs to shame. For the past few years, Japanese role-playing games have been shifting away from turn-based battles to something more immediate, with From Software’s Dark Souls series being the only one to truly nail it thus far. Until now, that is. Platinum Games is known for making exhilarating action games with deep, at times unforgiving combat mechanics. NieR: Automata manages to capture this while also simplifying it for audience accustomed to ordinary ARPGs.
It really works. Automata’s combat is immediately gratifying – anyone can pick it up and deliver impressive combos with a couple of button taps. Heavy attacks, light attacks, jumps, dodges, and projectiles are all you need to think about. The brilliant animations really sell each hit, too, with a slight pause in the action mirroring a physical connection with each clang of metal. A tap of R2 sees you gracefully cartwheel out of the way of incoming attacks, priming a counter-attack if timed perfectly, slowing the action to a crawl much like Witch Time from Platinum’s own Bayonetta.
That’s the core of NieR: Automata – super-satisfying combat against cute robots who need to die. Layered over the top of this are RPG mechanics: levelling up, upgrading equipment, and looting enemies and chests for gear. It might sound like you’ve been here before but, trust me, you haven’t played a game quite like this. That’s because development was headed up by eccentric game designer Yoko Taro, a man who’s well known among a certain niche for his distinct personal touch.
5. Horizon: Zero Dawn
Guerrilla Games may not always wow us with their gameplay (looking at you, Killzone: Shadow Fall) but it hardly ever goes wrong with its visuals. Case in point is Horizon: Zero Dawn, an open world action RPG where players take on the role of hunter Aloy in a post-apocalyptic Earth overrun by machines. The art-style is incredible, from the miniscule details (unique tribes with their own dressing sense) to the major (numerous animations for each robot, strong draw distance and photo-realistic environment design) and it will look even better on the PS4 Pro with HDR, regardless if you’re playing it in 4K or 1080p.
6. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
In a year with so many great releases already (Gravity Rush 2, Tales of Berseria and so on), Capcom’s Resident Evil 7: Biohazard bowled us over with its visual splendour. It’s crazy to see the amount of work that went into crafting the Baker household, be it the texture work in the soggy floorboards or in the expressions of various characters. Everything in Resident Evil 7 takes on an eerie life of its own, extending beyond realism into a more disgustingly gorgeous space. And it looks glorious.
