Journalists from the DSOGaming portal have compiled a list of the 10 most beautiful games released on PC in 2023.
10. RoboCop: Rogue City – the main advantage of this project was the amazing quality of the environment at the locations, but the 3D characters spoil everything with their mediocre facial animation.
9. Jusant – this game demonstrates how transformative Lumen can be in UE5. In addition, Jusant, according to journalists, has a unique artistic style.
8. Dead Space Remake – the game was remembered by the authors of the portal for its excellent picture on the Frostbite Engine, good lighting, where almost all light sources cast shadows, and an excellent dismemberment system.
7. The Last of Us Part 1 – journalists did not forget about the serious technical problems of the game at release, but the game looks very good. Naughty Dog has added amazing GI effects to the game that make the environments look great. The remastered 3D character models also look amazing.
6. Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart – The game uses numerous ray tracing effects, making it look better than its PS5 version. Players can also smash a variety of objects, with debris and particles flying all over the screen. The main cast is also highly detailed.
5. Resident Evil 4 Remake – The characters are very detailed and the environments look amazing. Players can interact with bushes and grass. Additionally, Capcom used Hair Strands to further enhance Leon’s hairstyle. The game demonstrates well the capabilities of the RE Engine.
4. Dead Island 2 – The lack of ray tracing didn’t stop the game from looking very good: high-resolution textures, highly detailed characters and an incredible GORE system.
3. Hogwarts Legacy – according to the journalist, global lighting with high-resolution textures and 3D character models are some of the best he has seen.
2. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – Frontiers of Pandora looks and runs on PC, delivering one of the best visuals of 2023. Massive Entertainment used a custom RTGI solution similar to Lumen in UE5. This means that even GPUs that don’t support ray tracing can benefit from it.
In first place is Alan Wake 2, running on the Northlight Engine. Remedy has introduced Path Tracing technology into it. However, it has some limitations. However, despite these limitations, Alan Wake 2 is a next-gen game on PC. The game has a magnificent environment with stunning lighting effects. And also highly detailed game characters.
