WC: Every generation of gaming creates its own blend of unique experiences that burrow their way into our heads forever. We’re exposed to moments that bring tears to our eyes, anger in our hearts, and even make us mourn the loss of our favorite characters. Moments in gaming where our jaws drop in astonishment, and we realize that what we’re playing is something truly special.
With the current generation, game developers have done away with the pixelated blur of 20 polygon counts, lackluster particle effects, and primitive gameplay mechanics. Now, it seems that gaming is evolving at a rapid rate, and we get to witness each stunning moment first hand.
Here’s 10 of the most stunning experiences of our current generation, in no particular order, for your reading pleasure.
Tango Gameworks' Hi-Fi Rush has received a surge of positive reviews on Steam after the announcement of the studio's shutdown.
I mean.... okay. While I can appreciate the virtue-signaling of it all, this along with the recent Helldivers 2 debacle is only proving that Metacritic scores really can't be trusted and are just something that can be used to manipulate. If a game/movie/etc is not rated solely on its own merit, what good are the reviews to a consumer actually looking to make the best choice in selecting a piece of entertainment?
Exactly! I said this and people jumped down my throat as it was an attack to democracy or some sh*t when I brought it up in a Helldivers 2 article.
It 100% shows how pointless user reviews are. I personally, never make a purchasing decision based on them and if I’m on the fence for a game I’ll watch streams and gameplay and check out professional reviews to form a decision.
Typically, I get what I’m interested in regardless of reception, but that’s just me. If I’m being honest, reviews are pointless and more for validation. I see a game I’m hyped for get an aggregate high score it’s just like a good feel sort of thing. I’ll still buy what I want regardless of people’s opinions.
It's a great game, it shouldn't have taken the studios closure to receive a surge of positive reviews.

A known leaker teases the God of War Ragnarok PC port announcement in May.
maybe they announce it during the state of play that is rumoured to be announced during this month.
After i finished the first game on pc i've been very excited to continue the story ,can't wait!
You will love it. Honestly I feel as Odin was a clear stand out for the game. Honestly my favorite depiction of the God yet.
I actually didn't enjoy the story and the writing in general anywhere near as much as the last game, having said that I've just got the platinum and I'm currently playing the Valhalla DLC so there's still a lot to like.
I mean, if you want to play those games 2 to 3 years after, go ahead, I think Sony is counting on you buying the game regardless. Sell your $500 console that you already have to buy a $1k+ PC that maybe plays the game slightly better, if you already have the PC then good for you then.
Can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not, anything is possible here….but imagine playing a game a year and a half before PC and being upset about it.
seeing dude's nuts get sniped was to much... to much
Red Dead Redemption, when you enter Mexico.
God Of War 3 Poseidon boss fight.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves train level.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception desert.
Bioshock the atmosphere.
are among the best in my opinion.
The ending of Metal Gear Solid 4 was brutally intense, one of my best moments I had in this generation, with Journey, Amnesia's playthrough and Portal 2's non-puzzle sequences (among many other moments in many other video games).
The Napal level in Uncharted 2!
