A game that looks good usually has state of the art technology driving its engine and pushes systems to their limits. The visuals should be consistent, beautiful, and groundbreaking in some way. With the launch of next-generation consoles and new graphics cards we are on the cusp of what the next set of games can look like, but we did get a glimpse this year.
The Last of Us Part II
Naughty Dog knows how to push PlayStation hardware in ways no one dares or dreamed could be possible. The Last of Us II looks amazing on the PS4 Pro with highly detailed textures, amazing lighting, fantastic animations and motion capture, and it just overall looks impressive, almost next-gen. While there were a lot of other amazing games released this year with ray-tracing and other technology they weren’t as consistent with their impressive visuals as The Last of Us II was.
