Best technical graphics is all about games that push their system to the limits. Shaders, ambient occlusion, shadow maps, tesselation, anti-aliasing, deferred lighting, and every other piece of tech that makes games look as good as real life.
God of War
Usually, console games get beaten out by PC exclusives in the graphics department, but the last five years have really closed the gap. The benefit of console exclusives is that it allows a developer to hone their skills on one piece of hardware, get it to know it, and push it to its limits and learn all its programming tricks. God of War is probably one of the best looking games ever made, period. The amount of detail and stunning beauty of the game is out of this world, and on a PS4 Pro and a 4K TV, this is where it’s apparent. This is a serious treatment that you only get once in a console generation and this is it.
