Elden Ring doesn’t look impressive at all. It’s no match for any of the monsters on your list, not even Astro Bot
Not sure if it was a ranked list i.e ordered according to the best visuals,
but, #1 is Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty and MK1 is #15
and if it is ordered in that way, then IMHO, Alan Wake 2 should've been higher ... like atleast #4 if not higher.
and Elden Ring does have amazing art direction but God of War Ragnarok atleast beats it in overall presentation if not FF16 as well.
Gamingbolt also forgot Metro Exodus Enhanced Version (the current gen release), Callisto Protocol, REVIllage, RE4 Remake & Plague Tale Requiem ...
Surprised Plague Tale Requiem isn't on here. Probably in my top 3 best looking games I've ever played
Elden Ring in a list of the best looking games? Not by a long shot. A game with a PS3 era graphics engine is never going to look good in today's standards no matter how good the art direction is.
I while wouldn’t say Elden Ring looked PS3-era for the most part. I wasn’t too visually impressed by the game when I played it on PS5. Elden has great art, but the technical graphics aren’t particularly impressive.
Please look up Dark Souls 1, PS3 version, on YouTube and place that beside a shot of Elden Ring. That’ll put things in perspective. I think you get art direction confused with graphical fidelity.
I played Demons Souls remake before Elden Ring and it was a big step down. Still had some pretty stuff but overall it was lesser. Being a crossgen game that makes sense though. It’s not an ugly game by any means
Glad to see demon`souls in there =)
Great selection
