Mesh Shaders do not get enough mention! The reason Alan Wake 2 and Avatar look next gen is due to mesh shaders!
Isn't mesh shaders how models factor I to the rendering pipeline, not a visual change to the model? Like maybe it is necessary for software raytraced shaders to be implemented correctly or such, but I don't think mesh shaders inherently make something look better?
@@deddrz2549 mesh shaders allows the increase in geometry. It's how Avatar has all that dense foliage or in Alan Wake 2 all that micro detail in objects. Without mesh shaders that amount of geometric detail wouldn't be possible on consoles, especially the Series S.
Nanite in UE5 does something similar but is done in software and has way more restrictions.
@@BurritoKingdom yes!! And the main reason it doesnt run well on old hardware (1060). For me Alan wake 2 and Avatar are finally true "next gen" experiences.
nah
Alan Wake 2 is one of the closest games to look real while still maintaining a good art direction and presentation.
No. Everything looks like mushy painting.
@@balloonb0y677 sounds like you need an upgrade
Absolutely true, cyberpunk looks unnatural and really weird to me, also its so fucking dark 90% of the game with RT on.
@@lolitaexpresspilot88get your eyes checked
@@SLSAMG fanboy of flashy, dead and empty garbage for zoomers has been spotted lmao
Cyberpunk is still it for me. It’s the game I have been wanting since Deus Ex 1
for me, alan wake 2 takes the cake as its presentation is the most polished and consistent of the bunch
Alan Wake looks great but Avatar has that WOW reaction to it because of how massive it is.This makes me really excited for the next Batman game pending Rocksteady does it cause it'll look like Alan Wake 2 but it'll have the open world of Avatar.
I recently played avatar then went to try Horizon forbidden west and was amazed how forbidden west imo for the most part still looks better in most things while having a considerably higher resolution than avatar on consoles and maintaining a locked 60fps with almost no drawbacks to any assets
The fact that you can do LEGITIMATE virtual photography in Cyberpunk with Path Tracing and light/materials behave as I would expect (i'm actually a photographer irl) along with the flexibility as far as mods and custom lighting assets (Appearance Menu Mod) means it's still number one in my book. It's just so dynamic.
Alan Wake 2 was pretty but it doesn't have any of the flexibility of Cyberpunk. You can't disconnect the camera and inspect each object, you can't change the time of day or add your own dynamic lights, and the whole thing is just designed to be EXACTLY as presented and once you complete the story there are no more discoveries. Along with the fact that their 'path tracing' isn't actually doing this from the ground up and still uses baked lighting in many spots. I just played Half Life Alyx and it struck me as a very similar presentation to AW2 in terms of the look of its relatively static lighting, but wow can you imagine Alyx running with full path tracing? Maybe Alan Wake 2 technically has the better graphics from an objective point but i don't think it really used path tracing in a way that really elevated it beyond what Cyberpunk does.
Avatar, probably never gonna play.
I didn't even need to get to the diner scene. Just when the car pulled into the parking spot in Bright Falls for the first time I was like "waaait, this looks too sharp for a pre rendered video"
that was a great video, great discussion, really explained all the points, very good
Would love time stamps in even the shorter videos
Surely a game like Cyberpunk, that was released WELL before these other two is naturally going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to graphics? I assume it's much easier to accomplish a better graphical game when you're working from the ground up with technology 2 years (or more) newer than Cyberpunk, while cyberpunk is updating & adding to an already existing core.
What I mean is, if there's one area that should be predictably better as time advances, it's graphical fidelity & game performance, unlike something such as great story telling which is arguably more difficult to create as time advances.
That's false.... Games like Cyberpunk/Starfield/GTA 5/No Man's Sky/ Fallout 76 or Battlefield 2042..... These are games way ahead of their time that when they launch they are garbage, they reach their peak about 2-3 years time later.....
Currently Cyberpunk in reality is best graphical game out there due to that, if you go back to it's launch it wasn't best graphical game
@@TRX25EX cyberpunks graphics have always been great, Graphical fidelity - performance are not the same thing.
@@WildfireX it also scales very well on hardware unlike Alan wake 2
Horizon forbidden west could still come up in this conversation imo because of the burning shores dlc
How about Red Dead redemption 2
2:00 that scar looks badass
Considering the graphics of today, I wonder, though perhaps foolishly, if todays game graphics surpasses the graphics of a fully cgi movie like Final Fantasy: The spirits within....
Could one make a game of that movie, playing the various movie scenes, in-game, with the graphic fidelity of the movie.... Would be fun if this channel made a video exploring those questions.
As much as i love games like Alan Wake i have to agree, archieving the level of fidelity Avatar has while maintaining good performance across all platforms and without sacrificing RayTracing in the process is worthy of praise.
I wonder if when PS6 and Xbox next gen come out if CDPR will release a next gen Cyberpunk upgrade with some pathtracing effects.
I just dove into Alan Wake 2 a week or so ago but haven’t had much time to play it, maybe an hour total. I will say that I’m blown away even on Series X. While Series X lacks the power that the top PCs can achieve, the game still looks stunning. Performance is amazing, rock solid frame rates from what I’ve seen so far, no noticeable dips or performance woes but again very limited time invested just what I’ve noticed so far.
Imagine if you played it with path tracing at more than 60fps and a good resolution.
From what I can tell, the only omission on consoles are RT. It looks stunning on the pc, but being honest, Remedy squeezed every single drop of performance they could from that zen 2 apu. Almost impossible achievement, thumbs all the way up.
I played the game at max settings with path tracing on my PC at 4k. I also played the game on PS5. The PS5 version holds up really well compared to the PC version for what it is.@@BryceCzirr-jz7ju
@@danielporeba3481don't forget the resolution and framerate. I'm playing it maxed out with PT at dlss Quality, which looks much better than native with TAA and I get above 100 fps. In the city environment I'm mostly locked to 120fps.
@@gavinderulo12 yeah, the res is 1 thing, and but what devs can do when are not having access to dlss with amd hw? As for frame rate, I personally I'm opting hor locked 60 fps for image consistency. For all aaa sp games it's adequate imho. Having laptop with similar specs to ps5 (ryzen 7 7735HS, 16gb ddr5, rtx 4060) i choose not to force my pc for maximum fps, but the 60 locked instead. For longevity of hw for once, and purely aesthetic gfx & image stability. We all are different and most beauty in pc gaming lies in having a choice and not being artificially restricted. Regards mate 🙂
I would like to see Alan wake 2 with a map the size of red dead 2 or avatar I it would look more like assassins creed valhalla, I would also like to see cdpr and ubisoft make a smaller game like Alan wake 2 I bet would would be able to make it look better
Avatar is simply stunning. Playing it native 4K Ultra settings 60fps (no upscaling) on PC using an LG G3 TV
Cyberpunk is just one of those technical wonders that stand the test of time. on pc the game will stay relevant for decades. just like the witcher 3 is STILL played and enjoyed even today. once you get a dedicate modding community like TW3 and 2077 have, you are kinda set for many years to come.
Seeing Alan Wake 2 on RUclips and seeing it in front of a 4K capable TV doesnt do it justice. Alan Wake 2 is the most gorgeous game ive ever seen detail wise despite the internal resolution being being 1270p in quality mode it looks amazing. My only gripe is FSR2 has shown promise but clearly IMO its meant for next gen of consoles. Performance mode with FSR2 current gen consoles not hitting 1080p60 is unacceptable. Also reflections when looking in the mirror is non existant in Alan Wake 2 but other than that Remedy did an AMAZING job. Cant wait for next gen but clearly the consoles are being pushed to the limits.
You do realise that due to RUclips widely known compression algorithm, the same sentiment applies to every other form of media uploaded to the platform....right?
Including the other 2 games featured in this video
That's because the game doesn't use rt reflections on consoles. On pc they are there.
The consoles should star using fsr3 soon, hopefully that improves thing a little bit
Reflections in mirrors are only displayed in path-tracing mode unfortunately.
@@assassin3003 how? Amd recommends a base framerate of 70-80.
Much of this is subjective in my view, although I understand the arguments based around lighting and environmental density.
I am quite happy with games like "Super Mario Bros. Wonder" myself.
In terms of "best graphics" - this is wide open to interpretation and taste.
I have a friend who flips his lid when an indie game manages to capture prime 8 bit aesthetics.
Out of the 3 games mentioned, I like Cyberpunk, just for the style and setting.
Technical prowess is objective
I think it's a measurement of graphical fidelity, not just appealing visuals. When people say graphics they mean fidelity, what you are talking about is visuals or art direction/style
Objectively speaking Cyberpunk's textures are crap, like honestly they need to at least AI upscale the textures at this point, the last gen textures don't cut it anymore.
Should do a top 10 graphics of the last 6 years
Red Dead Redemption 2 win easily lol
Red Dead Redemption 2 win easily lol
I prefer a game with the graphics of forbidden west or red dead 2 way more things to do way more smaller details, weathers, animations, biomes and still look fantastic
Avatar all the way, I've never played a game where I'm interested in seeing the whole map. It like getting to a new level on mario when I was 12. Just amazing. Bravo ubisoft. Just don't make another far cry.
You haven’t played played many good games then if you think a game made by Ubisoft is amazing 😂
The water looks horrible.
@Half-life94
Obviously I've played alot of ubisoft games. That's why I said don't make another far cry. Obviously you havnt played avatar. I doubt your mum and dad could afford it for Christmas.
Avatar is another far cry, kinda
@@Hard2hit94Hahahah hahahahh i see you rolling. Look at me i said something original and won the argumenten. Ow and dont forget the smiley 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ray-Tracing's not enough... Path-Tracing... Why do I hear that James Bond song in my head?!
Cyberpunk full path tracing is way better looking to the eye than the others... Alan wake is so dark all the time... I just disagree because Alan Wake is mostly static lighting...Pandora runs really well for how good it looks though. If we include console versions I would give Pandora the win across platform, followed by Alan Wake II, and then Cyberpunk. But for PC the rank for me is:
3. Alan Wake II
2. Pandora
1. Cyberpunk (path tracing)
Yes. CP2077 Best
Dangerous Dave clearly wins
17:22 The car on the right (pc side) is not reflected correctly at all. Seems like transparent layers are not taken in count ( the red lights become white and the windows are missing).
Is it really ray tracing?
Avatar def the best .
1. Avatar
2. Alan wake
3. Cyberpunk
Reverse
But with RT path tracing Alan wake 2 first place then cyberpunk then avatar frontiers of Pandora
I still haven't played Cyberpunk yet lol. Am I missing out?
Big time, mate.
What's so great about it?@@NPTEEE
The missions? the story? the world?@@NPTEEE
its a great immersive game if you're willing to accept the occasional bug
It's easily my game of the year. Though I've only just started playing Alan wake 2.
I gotta give it to Alan Wake II. Avatar's water, reflections and low poly assets took me out of the game. Cyberpunk looks great as well, but nearly every aspect of Alan Wake II consistently blew me away.
Ditto
you can unfortunately notice the lowr quality assets in cyberphnk, alan wake 2 consistently managed to keep your immersion up as it just looks incredibly realistic everywhere
@@cooltwittertagyeah i’d recommend lod and texture quality mods for a first playthrough of cyberpunk
@@test_account939 Most mods make games look worse or more artificial looking!
Avatar is impressive for being a RT game with good performance
Avatar is Far Cry 7!!!!!
Haha Alex the current gen Rayman
1. AW 2
2. Avatar
3. Cyberpunk with mods, which is why it's #3 for me since the first 2 don't require mods to look great.
Cyberpunk doesn’t need mods to look great.
@@BigBoss7777777 +
Should have been called: best graphics on a beefed up PC.
Avatar is best
Alan Wake 2- No Contest
Alan wake 2 looks amazing but feels very static, the vegetarion barely moves even when you walk by it and many other things just feel like high quality lego and no organic at all
What? It's got the best tree swaying out there. I guess smaller vegetation is not on-par with the larger trees.
" and many other things just feel like high quality lego and no organic at all"
I don't get this bit. Are you talking about the plant materials? This game has the best-looking props and assets out there, where even a cup of coffee is high-poly.
I have mixed feelings about Avatar graphics. The high density foliage with great wind animation looks super impressive as well as the lighting and particles systems. On the other hand the hard surfaces like some large trunks, stones and cliffs have that "old-gen" flat look to it. I miss some displacement and a more "PBR look" on those assets. That game gives me that vibe of an old-gen engine that got some updates to hold up to next gen.
On the other hand Alan Wake 2 is what I would call a 100% fresh looking game with impressive dynamic lighting, realistic materials and super detailed meshes.
So the winner wins, because it reminds you of Crisis?
I just don't see it when it comes to the general gameplay in cyberpunk. Looks great at sertain points, but most times, naaaah.
Brother it's an awesome shooter on its own. The combat in the game is unique and slept on, IMO, by people who haven't played it. Everyone always talks about the graphics, the fact that the shooting, melee and driving are so good often gets overlooked.
in my humble opinion Avatar for the scale the vegetation ecc is unbelievable
Alan Wake doesn’t do it for me. Cyberpunks pop in / pop out with traffic and LoD is very distracting. Surprisingly Avatar is very tight on the graphics and extremely dense / colorful and beautiful in all aspects without too many buggy distractions
Alan wake 2 is a blurry low res mess 😅
So which is it then?
100% agree. I found the gameplay boring - AND the visuals didn't do much for me either. I don't see what others are seeing
@@paranikumarlpkjust curious. Are you talking about the 60 FPS mode, the 30 FPS one, or both?
@@ChewyLoo it's just nvidia's bullshit marketing for 4000 series using rt/pt
what we're really saying is raytracing is still shit.Just do good canned lighting. We dont need wine conoursurs to tell us what looks good just play the scene FFS. Denoising is a massive negative nobody really want to talk about and its a problem vs the clarity of raster.
Ray Reconstruction does wonders
The top 3 games this year all extensively use RT. And your conclusion is that RT still looks bad? Are you ok?
@@brandon_nope I was disapointed at the de-noising still present washing the image out with that, even if it is better than before.
@@gavinderulo12 What are those three games then? Have you tried playing them without RT and noticed it's the same game or better ? :)
@@vosi88 I'm talking about the top 3 graphical games that they are discussing in this very video.
And yes, I initially played cyberpunk on the ps5, without rt. And after switching to PC and playing it maxed out using path tracing it's like a completely different experience. It feels like a trip. It's hard to describe. Easily one of the most unique and impactful gaming experiences I've ever had.
I would have given the first place to alan wake, there is so much detail and attention to detail in this game, and the visuals rarely break up outside of ssr artifacts in some scenes if you dont consider hardware ray tracing (which is a remarkable solution but removes more than half of your fps)
Outside of the daytime jungle environments, which are indeed phenomenal and purely realtime, visuals in avatar can look like they are taken from games released 10 years ago, especially in indoor human facilities, or regarding post processing, the horendous radioactive bloom effect and the mediocre depth of field in cutscenes. The material reaction to lighting is also pretty poor in avatar, just look at the water or the rocks surrounding it, whereas objects always look how they should in aw2.
That was my worst issue with the game. Playing on a laptop with Ryzen 7, rtx 4060 and external 75 inch samsung telly, I've decided to go with ps5 settings and path tracing on top of that. Of course, FG was required, but I ended up with 85+ fps which mitigated higher than usual input lag. All in all, great game as expected from Remedy..
avatar was not possible 10 years ago
thank you, it really feels like everyone has been paid to not mention how awful it looks in indirectly lit scenes comparatively.
in those cases it just looks like unlit photogrammetry, and it's jarring to look at.
and for that reason it doesn't even deserve second place.
the flying scenes in particular look like literal trash, and they praise it while that clip runs, it looks like a screenshot from an alternate universe where the PS2 could render more triangles.
the directly lit scenes are amazing for the most part, I'll give them that
1. Alan Wake
2. Cyberpunk 2077
3. Avatar
@@chonkusdonkus RT performance on current gens is rather poor for good quality image output.. it is what it is, but having a choice I always choose a pc version over ps5 or series x. Ps5 pro however will be the day 1 purchase.
Alan wake 2 both looks great and its pleasure to play, a masterpiece from remady, will play new game + final draft and cant wait for the dlc
Cyberpunk beats them all this year because the scope of that game whilst achieving photorealistic path traced graphics is unmatched.
The only game I can see topping it is Grand Theft Auto VI, but we will have to see Rockstar's RT implementation, because at this moment in time, CD Projekt Red's is second to none...
cyberpunk doesnt look as good as Alan 2 not even close
@@RikoFlex67 It does when you fully consider Cyberpunk's shear size and scope compared to Alan Wake II, which is a very linear experience. Cyberpunk gets a bad wrap because of its tainted launch. What the game is now, compared to what it was, is night and day. People who still bash the game haven't even given it a second chance. Hate all you want, but it doesn't negate the fact that it is a masterpiece, and it'll only get _even_ better going into 2024.
Not hating but its not even close to Alan2 despite the scale. Even Horizon 2 looks way better than Cyberpunk in every possible department except for the lighting @@NPTEEE
@@RikoFlex67 "Not even close" you have no idea what you're talking about. I'll admit the only thing that lets it down is its texture quality. But the mod 'HD Reworked Project' significantly enhances image quality that sets it above the likes of 'Horizon 2' or 'Alan Wake II'. Now yes, modding isn't the base experience, but on PC we have the option to further the game's visuals than what even the developers originally envisioned. Modded Cyberpunk 2077 on the PC with Path tracing at 4K beats ANYTHING on Sony's machine. It's not even an comparison, lad. You even bring up Horizon 2 leads me to believe you may be a Pony...
Lmaoo I bet you have never even played Horizon 2 on a Ps5 you clueless cyberpunk fangirl. It's easily superior to the flat looking Cyberpunk in every single way possible, including character rendering, overall detail levels, art style, textures, models, shadows, effects and especially granular detail. Night and day difference. Only Alan Wake 2 beats it in terms of overall rendering quality. That's why Alan Wake 2 looks almost pre rendered cause it's not easy to beat Horizon 2@@NPTEEE
For not really big budget game, well done for A.WAKE 2 to stand above the rest. I think this is Remedy's bid budget game to date of 60 million including marketing.
i have to agree with these experts avatar as far as graphics is stunning i love cyberpunk and alan wake as better games but avatar wow
Compared to Alan Wake Cyberpunk looks a bit cartoonish in comparison. It looks nearly as realistic technically, but the way characters look physically and some other details look a lot more cartoonish than true to life
It’s Alan Wake 2
RTX is a fakery! Where are the games we were promised???? Next step PS5 pro and then PS6. Good buy and have fan!
I bought Avatar because of all the praise, but I just don't find it being that impressive, sure it's the best looking jungle when you're in it, but it REALLY falls apart in distant scenery, the floating mountains and clouds look horrible from distance, in fact they look way worse than many much older games like Death Stranding, Horizon, RDR2, things like that.
Graphically, my only problem with AW2 is its at-a-glance visuals doesn't correspond to its spec requirements
Alan Wake easily wins
agreed, this is what happens when tech inclined people decide for an overall "artistic" competition, they will go for the impressive tech details instead of the overall look and beauty of the game.
Is like making a bunch of artist pick a title for "best programming in a game"
I haven't played Avatar yet but it doesn't even look better than Horizon 2 in these vids@@alessoBonora
@@alessoBonorahuh? The tech in Alan wake 2 is nuts though.
The fact that avatar can achieve those graphics while being seamless open world truly makes it far superior above those 2 games in terms of optimization and graphic fidelity.
Cyberpunk is also a seamless open world game...
Like Cyberpunk isn't also a seamless open world game, too. How you think Avatar is "far superior" than Cyberpunk when it has way more complex simulation going for it is just funny to me. Like the boys said, they couldn't place Cyberpunk at number 1 is because they already gave it best graphics when it came out 3 years ago. But I can guarantee you if it had released this year, it would've made the number 1 spot for sure.
@@NPTEEE They didn't place Cyberpunk 2077 at number 1 because newer titles Alan Wake 2, Avatar Frontiers etc are graphically superior 👍🏾
It's not rocket science fella that a game like Cyberpunk 2077 that was in development years ago is surpassed by 2023 games 🚀
@@C--A You're wrong. Obviously you can't run RT Overdrive and you never will 🤡
Is cyberpunk a linear game now?
Avatar... no brainer
Cyberpunks graphics are overrated. its smeary and clay like as long as you're not up close.
Ive played cyberpunk but not alan wake. Alan wake is the clear winner even in youtube compression quality.
After actuallly playing both games and not just watching videos on it, it’s pretty clear to me that Alan Wake 2 is the better looking game. The shadows in Avatar are so distractingly awful I can’t even believe it made the top 2 in the list
Avatar is a much much bigger game something has to give
Lords of the Fallen (PC), Ghostrunner 2 (PC), and Dead Space remake (PC) should be in this list. Some of the best benchmarks of 2023
Dead space is in the top 10 if you watch the full video.
Lords of the fallen , Callisto protocol, remnant 2 , dead space and last of us 🔥🔥🔥 all these games are MIND-BLOWING 8k Monitors
I think avatar is more impressive but I just love the look of Alan wake
Cyberpunk is still top dog even if you have problems giving it a win again,
Crysis was that game for near a decade and no one has issues with how praised it was for that long.
Newer tech with aw2 and avatar is great but its still not cyberpunk
all these cutting-edge graphics and only one actual game makes the ranks. Here's to hoping next year has less path-traced Netflix and more real gameplay
In 2023, none of them can still overtake RDR2.
If only Nintendo could achieve the same results for Zelda as Ubisoft did with Avatar!!! I’ll definitely buy Avatar when it comes to Steam!
Avatar Frontiers has pretty looking graphics, but is a average at best game!
Whereas BOTW/TOTK have a art style that will still look great in 20 years time. Plus both excellent critically acclaimed games, won numerous awards!
@@C--Ato me TOTK feels more bloated than Avatar.
So it now seems that best graphics is reduce to have dense vegetation on a wide scale, and nothing else.
Just ignore absolutely every detail about it, be it characters, interiors, water or even the obvious massive polygons on the forest floor that you guys showcased.
Something had to win. If AW2 won the opposite argument could have been made about best graphics being "reduced" to what the winner did well in
Alan Wake 2 is the most realistic game ever i have seen, then RDR2 and TLOU2 and Microsoft Flight Simulator new. Avatar looks not bad.
Next winners will be GTA 6, STALKER 2, METRO next game or something new
stalker is gonna be crap
@@ttghhgg1918 don't agree. This game will be epic and much more better on release. I mean last leaks it was pre alpha build for testing. STALKER have millions fans around the world. And community which making over 15 years several modification and games based on trilogy. It's history and more then ordinary game.
@@The_will_of_Ukraine_or_death i love the vibe but the new gameplay trailer showed the insane amount of degrade on graphics it went from looking like a masterpiece to a 2010 looking game
@@ttghhgg1918 man i see, but 2010 it's not serious. The game now looks good. Yes there some downgrade moments. Need to look at release version.

This game wouldn't have issues on release like it was in Starfield and CP2077
Lmao Alan Wake 2 is an ant in size compared to RDR2 and MSFS. Much easier to make. Also pathtracing is not impressive it only relies on bruteforce. Foliage and outdoor scenes in AW2 don't look impressive.
Avatar isn't even a contender for this one, it completely falls apart in indirectly lit scenes.
Alan Wake = 🥱😴😴💤💤💤
dunno, Avatar looks like Horizon West, just not quite as impressive artistically
The Horizon DLC looks better than Alan Wake 2.
People keep hyping up Alan wake 2 graphics let me say this again. Cyberpunk path tracing looks better, Robocop environmental detail looks better & overall the best graphically looking game on pc to date is a plagues tale requiem.
Meh…AW2 does it for me. Plague Tale is still incredible no doubt. But of these 3 it’s AW2. Imo
Get some fucking glasses.
Well the story is a bit different on the console side, I played a plague tale requiem, AW2 and cyberpunk on my series x in quality mode and to me AW2 looks the most next gen out of the 3, followed by a plague tale, I haven't played avatar yet but I've heard it is the best looking game on console, I'll wait until it inevitably goes down in price after 2 months like any other ubisoft game lol
lol never
Alan2 looks pre rendered in some scenes. def next level
The three 800p musketeers returns. These 3 games look like garbage unless you're playing on high-end pc. Pathtracing is not impressive it's easier to make and only relies on brute force. Great looking volumetric clouds, fake caustics, dense interactive foliage etc running at high res and 60fps on fixed hardware is much more impressive.
I really feel bad for consoles, especially the series s, trying to run some of these games
@@GeneralS1mba consoles and mid range Pcs too.
@@GeneralS1mba the most popular games are Cod, fifa, Fortnite, MK1 etc and they run great on XSS.

Personally I couldn't care less about games like Alan wake 2 and Avatar.
Yeah I like the Series S for remasters and controller games, local split-screen games.
This award is not about which game looks the best visually. Its about the game that has the best technical graphical fidelity
Avatar loses points because the game play isn’t great
You lose points for not understanding the assignment
Avatar duh,cyberpunk is a xbox one title.
Alan Wake 2 is not that good in any aspect except some remarkable soundtracks
You guys need to try more games. This list is TRASH!!! Ark Ascended and Talos Principles 2 shits on your "top 3". But no surprise from the Remedy fanboys (DF).
Ark Ascended is full of bugs, glitches, crashes! Plus you can tell it isn't a big budget game with low quality bits intertwined with decent bits.
Talos Principles 2 is a decent game with some nice cut scenes. But in game gameplay there's games even 5 years old graphically better looking.
Alan Wake 2 is head and shoulders much more graphically better looking than both the games you mentioned!
Don't make your ignorance so apparent.
The three worst games I played in a while. But pretty graphics go brrrrr, I guess...
Next, go to a channel that does sound and music analysis and complain that the game sucks but yeah, sounds awesome. I guess....
Alan wake 2 was literally one of the best games this year. What are you talking about? Also cyberpunk was also really good. Haven't played avatar , can't comment on that
Well it is a video only about graphics buddy

Alan fake two. Is an overrated steaming pile of dog crap with great lights and shadows. 80% of the game. is spent in a room in your. mind. It's literally an interactive card game Garbage.
Avatar is definitely the winner. but also a repetitive, terrible doing the same thing over and over and over again Game. Once it turned into the tower defense part I was. like goodbye.
I think the callisto protocol. has better graphics than Alan Fake and is a way awesomer game. Just cause a game has path tracing doesn't. mean the rest of it looks as good.
Spider-Man 2 > Any of these games
