Ghost Of Tsushima, Red Dead Redemption 2 still the most gorgeous games around, fans agree

A recent Reddit thread has revealed the list of games players believe to be the prettiest games ever made. With thousands to choose from, it seems as though Ghost of Tsushima and Red Dead Redemption 2 are leading the charge.

In the years of Unreal Engine 5 and 4K resolution, video games are as beautiful as they have ever been. With memorable mentions such as Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077 and Horizon Forbidden West, a Reddit thread has asked what the prettiest games really are and Ghost of Tsushima and Red Dead Redemption 2 appear to be the most memorable.

One user who commented with Ghost of Tsushima has received 668 upvotes meaning they are by no means the only person to think this. One reply says “Facts, you could be literally anywhere & it’s a cinematic moment & the photo mode is just… so good” whilst another says “They set up those duels to be cinematic as f**k. Fighting your nemesis in a shallow pool with lanterns floating around the surface is just chef's kiss”. What follows is a series of users pitching in with all their favourite locations from the game.

Another user threw Red Dead Redemption 2 into the ring saying “[the game] is still unbeaten for me, it just nails the ’natural’ looking aesthetics so hard.” Rockstar Games Red Dead Redemption sequel released in 2018 and is still as popular today as it was five years ago. “I spent 80% of my playtime just hunting so I could be in nature and take amazing photos”, added one user with another agreeing by saying it was their “favorite pastime of any game.” With beautiful American landscapes, wildlife and flora, it’s no wonder Red Dead Redemption 2 has left such a lasting impression.

Video games are becoming more and more photorealistic over time so it remains to be seen how this question will be answered in just five years from now.
