15 Best-Looking Video Games Of The Decade

5. The Witcher 3

The Witcher 3 isn't the most technically impressive game on this list. It doesn't have the most detailed character models, it doesn't boast cutting-edge ray tracing and it can be janky as hell, but lord does it make up for those shortcomings with one of the most well-realised and downright beautiful fantasy worlds in any medium.

This is a place that feels lived in and alive, rich with its own history and culture. There's always a story to each place you visit, and better yet it's often told through visuals, be it abandoned battlefields where bodies have been left to rot, or shipwrecked shores that make for fertile feeding grounds for monsters.

This distinct sense of place is thanks to the attention to detail present in every nook and cranny of the environment, those subtle flourishes that add up to make the long production worthwhile. You can live and breathe The Witcher 3, and waste hours just strolling through the wilderness in awe.
