#10 - Doom (1993)
Back in 1993, PCs were clunky beasts, and gaming was still finding its footing in the 3D world.
#9 - Final Fantasy VII (1997)
When Final Fantasy VII hit the PlayStation, it was a game-changer in every sense. Sure, the story and characters stole hearts, but let’s talk about those visuals.
#8 - Shadow of the Colossus (2005)
Shadow of the Colossus wasn’t just a game, it was a work of art that made you stop and stare.
#7 - Crysis (2007)
“Can it run Crysis?” That question became a meme for a reason. When Crytek unleashed Crysis in 2007, it was a graphical beast that made even the beefiest PCs beg for mercy.
#6 - The Ori Series (2015–2020)
The Ori series, Ori and the Blind Forest, and Ori and the Will of the Wisps, is proof that you don’t need hyper-realistic graphics to blow minds.
#5 - Ghost of Tsushima (2020)
Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima is like stepping into a samurai movie directed by Mother Nature herself.
#4 - The Witcher 3 (2015)
CD Projekt Red’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a masterclass in making a world feel alive. Released in 2015, it still holds up as one of the best-looking RPGs ever, especially with its next-gen updates for PS5 and Xbox Series X.
#3 - Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018)
Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t just a game, it’s a time machine to the Wild West.
#2 - Cyberpunk 2077 (2020)
Cyberpunk 2077 had a rough launch, but let’s be real, its visuals were never the problem.
#1 - Alan Wake 2 (2023)
Topping the list is Alan Wake 2, a game that’s a flex of what modern graphics can do.
