2015 was a great year for fantastic looking games. With the next-generation hardware in full swing and more powerful PC graphics cards available, this was a year to impress friends. There many games that looked fantastic, even indie games, and there were too many to choose from.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
While many games were on par with The Witcher 3 such as MGS V, The Witcher 3 stood out with a beautifully created fantasy world and an extreme amount of detail in such a large open world that most developers overlook. There have been many open-world fantasy games in the best, but a lot is barren, boring, and downright ugly. The new technology used in The Witcher 3 helps such as Nvidia HairWorks, and even on consoles, the game looked impressive. While the PC version shined the most, The Witcher 3 had an overall amazing performance across all platforms after a few patches.
