The year 2022 is slowly winding down and it’s time to take stock of the biggest graphics slapstick in video games. If The Game Awards have already selected their winner, the Digital Foundry experts have another ranking in mind. And that’s not necessarily what you’re thinking about.
If God of War: Ragnarök took nearly every award at the Game Awards this year, it was Elden Ring that won Game of the Year. Acclaimed by all for its extremely rich gameplay and its gigantic open world, From Software’s latest title also stood out for its sumptuous graphics, which also earned it the award for best art direction.
However, since these prices are relatively subjective, not everyone is necessarily of this opinion. This is especially true for members of Digital Foundry, true experts in all things PC and console performance in gaming. Over time, the latter’s opinion has become a real bible for all gamers hungry for data on the latest graphics cards and other PS5/Xbox Series X comparisons.

Furthermore, when Digital Foundry unveils its list of games with the best graphics of the year, we can without a doubt say that these titles in question are very beautiful, indeed very beautiful. So let’s start without further ado with the 3rd step of the podium, which is occupied by a little surprise. Indeed it is RTX Portalthe ray-traced version of the cult game developed with Nvidia’s RTX Remix technology.
In second place we find The Callisto Protocol. The newborn of Dead Space creator Glen Schofield has received a rather mixed reception due to its underwhelming gameplay, but its graphics are undoubtedly among the best of the year. Finally, the big winner of this top 3 is none other than Forbidden Horizon West, whose beauty we have already praised in our dedicated test. If you’re looking for a lavish world to explore, look no further.
