It has been a particularly interesting year when it comes to talking about graphics and technical sections. The arrival of the new consoles has opened the door to new experiences, and that without actually going through it. But already throughout 2020, great contributions have been seen that have been, in addition to great games, great proposals in the technical field. From Digital Foundry they have wanted to make their particular top 10 of games that have offered better graphics and Minecraft, Ori and the Will of the Wisps and Microsoft Flight Simulator are among the most spectacular games of 2020.
A media specialized in analyzing the performance of games could not miss the opportunity to evaluate what the year 2020 has given, that is about to end. And in a new video they wanted to expose the best games in purely technical matters. The arrival of Ray Tracing to Minecraft has renewed it, the fabulous design of Ori and the Will of the Wisps and its spectacular recreation has captivated the eyes and, what can we say about Microsoft Flight Simulator? Well these are only three of the games that have monopolized the list of the most spectacular games of 2020 from Digital Foundry.
The resulting list can be quite controversial, because in a way technical aspects are considered, including optimization to hardware. There is much talk about milestones related to performance and finish, the work that this has involved in the studies and the result obtained. And to jobs like Ori and the Will of the Wisps, which is a work of impeccable design and realization, it faces games whose technical section has broken schemes, or has taken the technical section to a new level.
And there we find the work done for Minecraft RTX, which changes completely thanks to Ray Tracing, being also an important technical milestone and a benchmark in the use of this technology. And there we find another good example, such as Half Life Alyx, a game that has brought the technical section of a Virtual Reality game to a standard more in line with what can be expected from this technology. Similarly, the work done to re-create a game like Demons Soul, or good work to recreate The Last of Us 2 with great detail in a little powerful hardware, these are aspects that have been taken into account to introduce them in their particular list.
Minecraft Windows 10 Edition Now Includes Ray Tracing
Obviously, it must be Microsoft Flight Simulator, because it is a game that has broken all possible technical schemes. Both for its appearance and for the technology that recreates the scenarios and different situations, it is a game that has not left anyone indifferent and has made the simulation genre more attractive. Now, I am convinced that what they have considered the best game of the year in the technical section is going to open more than one wound and it will sting, because it is Cyberpunk 2077.
But unlike the console version, the PC version has been one of the great games of the year. It could almost be separated from everything to prevent the problems of the consoles from splashing a game that, especially technically, has left all the users of this platform speechless. And above all, it has done so for users who equip an Nvidia GeForce RTX on their computers. A game of extraordinary dimensions that has managed to implement more than one technology of the several that Nvidia RTX offers, and yielding optimal performance thanks to DLSS.
Cyberpunk 2077 sweeps and would be the best-selling launch RPG in history
In the end, Digital Foundry wanted to make special mention of other games that, despite not being on this list, deserve a space in this tour of the most spectacular games of 2020. Without a doubt, it is a list that shows that there is potential huge in a complicated year, being a year of transition to a new generation of experiences, both on consoles and on PC. Now your turn What do you think are the most spectacular games of 2020 on Xbox?
