The best game graphics. The most realistic graphics in the game

Shooters, RPGs and racing games with the most realistic and simply spectacular graphics, allowing you to immerse yourself in the gameplay and forget that these are just games.

Every year, the picture quality of desktop games is steadily moving forward. If not so long ago, 3D action games amazed you with the absence of a ladder of pixels and smooth lines, today it is difficult to surprise avid gamers even with 4K textures, realistic shadows and incredible sun glare, so similar to the real thing. And yet, some modern games still manage to raise the already high bar of graphics, demonstrating ever more vivid beauty, the highest level of detail and simply stunning animation effects. It is projects like these that fully justify the costs of gaming computers, the price tags of which are also steadily rising.

GTA V

The fifth part of Grand Theft Auto cannot be called a new product, because it was presented almost 5 years ago. However, thanks to official and unofficial mods that support 4K graphics, it still deserves to be included in the list of games with the highest quality graphics. First of all, it can surprise you with the most realistic picture, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of a huge open world. It is realism that has become the real calling card of the game, allowing you to discover something new every day. GTA V on Steam.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

This is already an unconditional hit of the entire decade, which will be included in more than one top best games. The Witcher 3 has received the highest ratings and the most flattering reviews, including for its incredible graphics that immerse you in a fantasy world. The elaborate design of the Northern Kingdom locations, where the main action of the game takes place, will be used as an example for other developers for a long time. Attention to the smallest details of the environment, amazingly realistic nature, character animation - all this is based on the proprietary REDengine 3 game engine, developed by the CD Projekt RED studio itself. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Steam.

Destiny-2

An excellent continuation of the gorgeous multiplayer sci-fi shooter, also released on PC. This game doesn’t pretend to be realistic, but given the genre it doesn’t need it. Destiny-2 impresses with high frame rates, ultra-sharp textures, support for HDR effects and a mesmerizing atmosphere that immerses the player in the depths of space. The ability to choose a first or third person view allows you to enjoy the picture from different angles. Destiny 2 on battle.net.

Assassin's Creed Origins

The tenth game in the series of the same name, the plot of which will take you to Ancient Egypt. Huge open spaces for exploration, many water obstacles, pyramids, deserts and incredibly beautiful battles with opponents await you. All this is complemented by a system for changing the time of day, allowing you to take advantage of the benefits of the night. You can explore the locations either on foot, periodically transferring to a boat, or on horseback or even a camel. Fans of action and open-world RPGs will certainly be interested in the game. Assassin's Creed Origins on Ubisoft Store.

Battlefield-1

A first-person shooter for PC and consoles that allows you to plunge headlong into the fierce battles of the First World War. You will experience battles on the ground and in the air using all possible equipment of those times, including airplanes, the first tanks and even airships. Impressive locations and many destructible objects will provide you with maximum freedom of action and the opportunity to independently think through your plan of attack. For complete immersion, the game may offer the option to disable the interface. Battlefield-1 on Origin.

This is an action game dedicated to the events of World War II. The developers decided to try to improve the classic, and they definitely succeeded. Even many of the special operations familiar from other games here do not look like a well-worn topic that can get boring after 5 minutes. This also applies to the landing in Normandy, with which the game begins. The excellent detailing of the main characters, the quality of light reflections and shadows, the setting of missions - all this does not allow you to relax for a minute. It's like you're becoming the hero of a movie, and this is far from a high-octane action movie. Call of Duty: WWII on Steam.

Despite the scandal surrounding monetization, this game is worthy of the highest ratings for its graphics. This is largely due to the Frostbite engine, which ensured incredible dynamics of battles. The genre is a first-person shooter with the ability to switch to a third-person view. Of course, it's entirely based on the Star Wars universe and is among the games that blur the precarious line between the Star Wars films and the game implementation. Fans will especially appreciate the opportunity to play as characters and fighters from planets from all three eras of the Universe. Star Wars Battlefront 2 on Origin.

The Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition was able to surprise with a large and truly living open world, available for exploration at any time. At maximum graphics settings, the drawing distance and clarity of all textures are simply amazing. Lighting, shadows, animations of sparks and fire, the movement of grass and smoke can surprise even the most avid gamers who are demanding of the picture and gameplay in general. Even if you don't really like Japanese RPG style, the new Final Fantasy may well interest you. Final Fantasy XV on Steam.

DOOM

Already in 2016, this successor to the legendary series was significantly ahead of its time, raising the bar for graphics and dynamism to unprecedented heights. DOOM players will be taken on a terrifying journey into the depths of Hell. And everything would be fine, because the motif is painfully familiar, but the unique visualization of textures, shadows, lighting effects and the detailing of terrible monsters make you forget about everything you knew before. Even for DOOM fans, who had gone through all the previous parts of the game far and wide, this re-release seemed like a radically new project, like the second wind of an eternal classic. DOOM on Steam.

Good day, friends!

Everyone loves to play games with cool graphics, this is a given, of course, if the graphics also have a good plot. Technologies are developing at such a speed that you don’t even have time to be surprised. I remember I was happy with the graphics in The Witcher 3; at that time it seemed to me the limit of possibilities. Well, maybe that was the case at that time, I don’t know.

But, friends, 2018 is simply packed to capacity with games with good graphics. Not just good, but great! I wrote about all the 2018 games on PS4, you can follow the link and read them all. This list also includes games not only for the console.

Yes, 2017 has already pleased us with cool graphics in games:

Forza Motorsport 7;

Horizon: Zero Dawn.

These games showed what modern 3D engines are capable of. But that was last year, and 2018 already has surprises in store that will be cooler.

Top games with good graphics

This article contains the most beautiful and impressive games of this year. When selecting the top, the emphasis was placed not only on realism, but also on artistic style.

The general list did not include Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Days Gone and The Crew 2, they fell slightly short, but it is simply impossible not to mention them here.

This line of games has to be given its due, but Metro: Exodus is the bomb! From the very first game scenes shown at E3 2017, it became clear: here it is, real graphics for a shooter!

The lighting and environmental effects are amazing and very realistic. Metro: Exodus will be released in autumn 2018.

This is a very interesting action game, the events of which take place in an alternative 19th century (already intriguing, isn’t it?). Back at E3 2017, Crytek announced that Showdown uses a cooperative principle like Evolve, which, in fact, allows you to shoot monsters as a team.

But that's not the point; Hunt: Showdown impresses with its graphics. Especially lighting effects. The game can definitely be included in the list of games with good graphics in 2018.

We have already seen the Frostbyte engine in Battlefield 1; the whole post-apocalyptic atmosphere and battle scenes are based on it. Plus, Anthem also uses DICE, which is perhaps why the game impresses with its magnificent animation and beautiful landscapes already in the first trailer.

The long-awaited game, developed specifically for the PlayStation 4, will be released at the end of May 2018. Once you watch the trailer, you'll understand why Detroit: Become Human is considered the game with the best graphics: the animation is simply off the charts!

Another game with a lot of expectations. It “torn” everyone even when it was announced at E3 2017, which, however, is not surprising, look at the game scenes and how they were made!

What is under the hood of this game is not yet 100 percent known, we need to wait for the fall and its release.

Kratos celebrated his return to Playstation in April 2018. In a new adventure, the Spartans head north.

What's amazing about God of War? First of all, the facial expressions of the characters, the landscapes (so much atmosphere there!) and, of course, the grotesque appearance of the opponents.

This western with awesome graphics! Look at the trailer for the game, or screenshots. Do you see how the world around us is designed? What light and what shadows! What detail! No, I'm definitely delighted.

All this magnificence is made using the built-in RAGE Engine, which was last used in GTA 5.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will be available for PS4 and Xbox One this fall. However, this is all tentative for now, since the release has already been delayed.

In this game, in terms of graphics, the developers want to surpass previous projects, for example, Uncharted 4, and it is very good.

The game's engine continues to evolve, providing stunning character animations, impressive lighting, and realism. The game is definitely worthy of your attention.

I deliberately postponed this game “for later”, since it looks strange on the list of games with the best graphics for 2018. But this is only at first glance.

Yes, this is a pixelated post-apocalyptic platformer based on the Unity engine, but it is made completely differently than the games above. But take a closer look at how the graphics are designed.

Amazingly detailed and subtle. This is a special view of artists on pixel animation. No, The Last Night definitely deserves a spot on this list.

What else to play in 2018

As I said above, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Days Gone and The Crew 2 fell just short of being included in the list, but they are also very, very good in terms of graphics. You know, in general, most of the games of 2018 are made well. I can suggest, in addition to these three, a couple more that may please you (both in plot and graphics):

Far Cry 5. It was a highly anticipated game. Bright and daring, besides, where else can you heartily chase sectarians, if not in the fifth Far Land?

A Way Out, of course, is far from being the game of the year, but you can take a closer look at it. The plot is quite banal, but the gaming capabilities make it more interesting, or something.

Vampyr. We are promised a non-linear game, where the main character, as you understand... is a doctor. And yes, he is a vampire. But he is, first of all, a doctor! In general, you will decide for yourself whether to devour everyone or cure them.

Crackdown 3- the most action-packed action movie ever. The graphics are nothing at all.

Biomutant- an open world game, at least that’s how the developers position it. Officially, it’s kind of like a post-apocalypse, where technology closely coexists with all sorts of bioengineering. You will play... a raccoon (well, or someone very much like him))), who walks on his hind legs, wields bladed weapons and firearms, and fights very well.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance- very realistic (especially in combat techniques) and cool. A huge number of options for completing quests, well-developed characters and dialogues on the CryEngine 4 engine look very attractive.

Days Gone- an open post-apocalyptic zombie world. Of course, the topic is very hackneyed, but the developers promise an interesting game with good graphics and adventure. Judging by the fact that Days Gone is one of the most anticipated games of this year, it will be so.

The Crew 2. The first part of this game somehow didn’t go very well, there were some shortcomings. In the second part, we were promised to correct the omissions, add new vehicles (motorcycles, boats, planes) to make a real MMO racing. We wait.

I guess I'll stop here. The top games with good graphics have been compiled, simpler alternatives are also shown, you can bow out =)

Have a nice game, friends! See you.

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 explore a huge world that 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 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 the planets of the solar system amaze the imagination, 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 - 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, the game will also show quite a beautiful picture to budget builds - 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 to the competent work of 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 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.

Every computer game developer tries to improve their product. One of the improvements is improved graphics quality. Since 2014, it has become possible to significantly improve the realism of graphics, and already in 2017 a whole list of such products can be compiled. It is very difficult to single out one game, but there are several projects that can confidently be called leaders in the rating.

Forza Horizon 3

The car simulator was presented in September 2016. It became the ninth part of the series. Many critics immediately noted the fact that at the time of the product's release, Forza had the most realistic graphics in the game. This was facilitated by the ForzaTech engine, thanks to which the developer company was able to achieve very high picture quality.

A distinctive feature of the simulator was the cross-world between platforms. The thing is that the game is available for personal computers running the Windows operating system and for the Xbox game console. The hardware allows gamers who play on personal computers and consoles to compete with each other.

Worldwide critics gave high marks to both versions of Forza Horizon 3. The most authoritative publications, which are GameRankings and Metacritic, stated that at the end of 2016 Forza is the game with the most realistic graphics. The car simulator received an average score of 87% and 86 out of 100 from GameRankings and Metacritic, respectively.

Battlefield 1

It was released in the spring of 2016 and for 6 months took first place in the most realistic graphics category. Well-known critics immediately spoke out about Battlefield 1 and highly valued the shooter.

Like previous versions of the series, this part was created based on the Frostbite engine, which was first used by the developer several years ago. It allows you to achieve a high level of destructibility and high quality graphics. Battlefield 1 took first place in the “Graphics of the Year” category according to the popular web resource “Gaming”.

Since the trailer's release, critics and gamers alike have been flooded with positive reviews. The first video, which showed the gameplay of the game, was released almost at the same time as Call of Duty. However, DICE's product received five times more positive ratings than the legendary Call of Duty. After this, many experts dubbed Battlefield the “CoD killer.”

The product with the most realistic graphics in the game in Russia faced serious criticism. At the shooter's presentation, it was announced that Great Britain, Germany, Italy, the United States of America, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire would be present in the game. The reason for the indignation of domestic gamers and critics was the absence of the Russian Empire. In this regard, the Russian community sent a petition to DICE asking to add the Russian Empire to the list of playable nations. The developers' response was not long in coming. The company said that both France and the Russian Empire will appear in upcoming additions to the game.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon

The tactical shooter was released in early spring 2017 and immediately became the game with the most realistic graphics on PC. The announcement took place two years before the official release at the E3 computer games exhibition.

A distinctive feature of the shooter is the open world. Before this, no product in the series could boast of such an element. The gamer begins the game as one of the members of a fictional group of fighters from the United States of America. The group was formed to solve certain operations based on the US Army.

After the release of the game, the Bolivian government issued a statement condemning the developers for presenting their state in the shooter as a country where violence and drug trafficking are rampant. The developers later issued a statement in response, saying that Bolivia was chosen because of its beautiful landscapes.

The shooter Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon was nominated for the title of best game of 2015. But despite the fact that Ghost Recon has some of the most realistic graphics in games, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon could only win the “Best Shooter” category.

GTA 5

The cult GTA franchise has not pleased its loyal fans for a long time. The fifth part of the series was announced in 2011. Owners of personal computers had to suffer for a very long time, but only got the opportunity to enjoy the game in April 2015. As of 2013, when GTA 5 was released on gaming consoles, it was called the game with the most realistic graphics in the world.

A distinctive feature of the 3D shooter was the presence of three heroes at once. This did not happen in any of the previous versions of the famous game. The gamer has the ability to switch between characters almost at any time. There are also missions during which the player can control two players at once.

The game consists of 62 main missions and a large number of side missions. However, the number of main missions increases by 7 as there are chapters that can be completed in multiple ways. Additionally, GTA 5 has three different endings.

The game received the highest ratings both in Russian-language publications and in foreign ones. For example, the most popular Russian web resource “Igromaniya”, dedicated to video games, gave the 3D shooter a rating of 10 out of 10, as did the well-known foreign publication IGN.

"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt"

But GTA 5's leadership did not last long. In mid-May 2015, the third part of the famous Witcher series was released. Immediately after the release, it became clear that in “Wild Hunt” you can see the most realistic graphics in a PC game. In early autumn 2016, version 1.3 was released. The real-time strategy game is available for all popular platforms.

The lead artist stated that CD Projekt RED would use different methods when creating character models than those used to develop the first game in the famous series. While working on “Wild Hunt”, models of the game’s characters were first created, on the basis of which low-resolution models were formed. They are what are used in the game. To depict hair, fabric, shadows and fur, tools from Nvidia were used.

Star Wars: Battlefront

The Star Wars franchise is represented not only by a large number of films. This extends to video games as well. In 2015, a first-person shooter called Star Wars: Battlefront was released. The game was the third in the series. The shooter was created over the course of two years. Development began in 2006. But in 2008, work on it was frozen until 2013.

Battlefront's gameplay is all about combat. The gamer can choose which side to take. He has the opportunity to fight for the rebels, going through a campaign based on the original trilogy, or play for the army of the Galactic Empire. Star Wars fans have a great opportunity to take part in the most famous battles in the galaxy. One of the advantages of the game is the fact that the gamer is able to control military equipment.

Despite the popularity of the franchise and excellent graphics, the game did not receive high ratings from foreign publications. In Russia, popular gaming resources gave the shooter a rating of 8 out of 10. Only Playground gave Star Wars 5 out of 10.

Fra Cry 5

Another game with great graphics. Its announcement took place in mid-May 2017. The expected release date for the first-person shooter is late winter 2018. The development by Ubisoft will take graphics in computer games to a new level.

The gamer will control a sheriff's deputy. He will have to go to the fictional Hope County in order to arrest Sid, who has decided to establish control over the entire county. A distinctive feature of the fifth part of the game is the presence of an editor in which you can change the appearance of the main character. You can change not only things, but also the skin color and gender of the character.

The game will feature a large number of gadgets and a wide arsenal of weapons. It includes shotguns, pistols, bows, explosives and even baseball bats. Also in battle, the main character can be helped by wild animals tamed by him. The game's campaign can be completed in single player mode or in multiplayer.

Need for Speed: Payback

The new NFS was introduced in early June. The official release is scheduled for the end of autumn this year. Critics are already saying that the most realistic graphics in the game will be in the new “Need for Speed.”

The car simulator will be available on all engines - Frostbite 3. Multiplayer and single-player modes are available in Payback. Vehicles will be divided into five categories: drift, race cars, off-road cars, runners and drag. For racing, one or another class of car is required. Police cars can drive around the town of Fortune Valley and chase the racers, and do not hesitate to break any traffic rules to stop the violators.

The main characters of the game are Tyler Mac and Jesse - three race car drivers who team up to challenge the Dom cartel. The cartel took control of criminals, corrupt police officers and the city's casinos. Three riders will try to make a difference in Fortune Valley.

Bottom line

It is difficult to answer which game with the most realistic graphics at the moment is capable of leading the rating of the best projects. In recent years, each product has been distinguished by high image quality. In some cases, it is difficult to distinguish a picture in a game from a movie.

At the moment, the game with the most realistic graphics is Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon, released in 2017. However, with a high probability, the car simulator will be moved from the first line of the conditional pedestal in the same year, when the game NFS: Payback is released. But the legendary car simulator won't stay at the top for long. Assassin's Creed: Empire is expected to be released in 2017 and will become the best game in the world in terms of Graphics.
