Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most mind-bogglingly detail-oriented video games of all time, as perhaps best evidenced by the game's recent PC release, which comes complete with a ludicrously comprehensive photo mode.

The photo mode naturally encouraged players to not only immortalise their favourite moments during the game, but also savour and soak in every last pixel of detail in a gorgeous single freeze frame.

Furthermore, it allowed players to discover the sheer absurd extent to which Rockstar have attempted to deliver comprehensively photoreal visuals.

If protagonist Arthur gets into a fistfight with an NPC, the NPC's knuckles will actually become bruised after landing a punch.

Given that virtually no players will be focusing on an opponent's hands during combat, this is a totally ridiculous detail, albeit one that's easy to appreciate for its meticulous artistry.
