The most beautiful and sumptuous game you're playing (or you've played)

Hey, guys! As the title says, I'd like to know your opinion, according to your likes
For me, at the moment, the game is Tales of Arise... SPLENDID!

It has to be Skyrim, it was my first dive in RPG games. From the visuals, to the story, the weapons, magic. Everything was beyond the expectations.

I'd have to actually sit down and think about what my all-time pick for the most beautiful game I've played would be.
Off the top of my head though the last game that really wowed me with its presentation was definitely No Rest for the Wicked, by Moon Studios.

It's a top-down Action RPG with Soulslike elements - still in early access and frankly that early access has been a bit of a mess so far, but man does it look fantastic.

#1: Wind Waker
#2: Okami

Cell shading done right can be a feast for the eyes for decades.

Dragon's Crown. All Vanillaware's games really, but this one in particular.
Amazing 2D art in a very unique style.

 

[DunkeyKong]

Shadow of the Colossus, still looked as beautiful as I remember

Panzer Dragoon Orta, that waterfall spot looked so great then and still does now.

Metaphor refantazio made every battle seems like an art piece

 

[RedNin3]

GRIS followed closely by og Shadow of the Colossus and anything Vanillaware made.

TIL sumptuous is a word.

El Shaddai is a drop dead gorgeous game, i wish i could find a better screenshot that did the game's visuals justice but this will have to do.

 

[Dyne]

I remember absolutely loving the landscapes in The Witcher 3.
Also, those sunsets in Breath of the Wild!

I had to google it (lmao)

 

[Inkingsama]

Legend of Mana was made as a beautiful painting but got adapted to a game. I have no proof of this but no doubts either.

I had to google it (lmao)

It certainly is the word of all time

 

[Kremiso]

ok to me just a Castlevania spin-off, but the 2d graphics in Beyond the Ice Palace II is pretty good

 

[SpeciumRay]

Chrono cross background art is majestic

 

[Bubudurubudu]

I've always been mesmerized by the original Ecco the Dolphin on Genesis

 

[OPT1MUS]

Thanks, guys, all great titles!
Impossible to forget games like - for example - Ico, SoC, or Okami. And if I go back in time even more, I can remember "dreamy" titles like Klonoa, Nights, Rayman (not to mention the very first Beyond the Ice Palace I played on my Atari-ST when I was a kid)
Ooops, maybe too much back in time, since I'm an oldie...

rednin3 has the best pfp


For me, the immediate thing to come to mind was my time with Pathologic 2. I haven't even personally finished the game myself, but even just thinking about it now makes me mildly emotional.
I also started playing it at the beginning of COVID lockdowns, likely heightening its impact.

its a little pretentious and a lot janky, but there isn't anything else in gaming quite like it.
