For me it’s Ghost Recon(2001). Coming from rainbow six, the outdoor areas were mind blowing. Just replayed a quick map and it was still gorgeous to me.
Jak & Daxter the Precursor Legacy still looks amazing, not just for the time, but in general.
Golden Sun on the Gameboy Advance
Skyrim
World of Illusion on the Megadrive
Or for something more 3d, Toy Story 2 on the PS1
OpenTTD
MDK
This game has so unique style and colours that it’s hard to find anything like it.
Final Fantasy III for SNES. The sprites and color schemes were just done so well. It still.holds up. I give it a playthrough every summer.
Bf1, crysis 1, arkham knight, halo 3,
Viewtiful Joe and Okami.
Crash Bandicoot Twinsanity
Wind Waker will never not look gorgeous.
And Ni No Kuni.
Half life 2
Final Fantasy XII always sticks out to me, guess I just like its environments and character designs. Also a lot of pixel art games like pre-generation 6 Pokemon or Final Fantasy 1-6.
Is it cheating to pick something like No One Lives Under the Lighthouse? It’s a PS1 graphics style game on pc that is a short and fun little experience
the Original Doom 3 and Burnout 3 takedown
