15 Best-Looking Video Games Of The Decade

4. God Of War

God of War is the best mix of pure raw power and artistic inspiration you can find on the PS4. It's a technical marvel from every perspective, to the point where Kratos - historically one of the most one-note protagonists in gaming - feels more human than the likes of Nathan Drake or Lara croft.

It's the way that the devs bring the landscapes and icons of Norse mythology to life that makes it so special though. Take the Lake of the Nine for instance, a single area that looks gorgeous and picturesque no matter how you're navigating it, which is home to the World Serpent, a majestic creature that makes even the mighty God of War feel unimportant and puny.

Each location has its own unique style and that same sense of ridiculous scale, whether it's the fiery hell of Muspelheim or the heightened, surreal unreality of Alfheim.

Most importantly, each of these beautiful locations are filled with a real sense of wonder and mystery, aided by the oddities in the art direction. Like Kratos, you're discovering this world as an outsider, and every time you jump through the bifrost you're transported to a breathtaking new realm that's mythical and majestic and far grander than you.
