10 BEST Looking Video Games Of The Generation So Far

A game like Dead Space lives and dies on the believability of its setting. What good is a tense, claustrophobic spaceship-based nightmare if you can't get fully immersed in the environment? The devs clearly understood this and, as such, went above and beyond to make the 2023 remake as believable as possible. They did so by boosting the graphics up to 100. 

Motive Studio's remake brings the USG Ishimura to life with precise detail and a stellar atmosphere, with one of its biggest tricks being dynamic lighting. The game's lighting effects are awe-inspiring, with long-cast shadows, peering light sources, flickering effects, and more, giving the game a definite sense of realism. Making the ship feel like a real place only makes it all the scarier when you're trapped in a room with a Necromorph.

It's not just the lighting that slaps, as the models and textures are also top-notch. Staring at the back of Isaac's suit will leave you constantly wondering how they could squeeze so many details in. If you're going to remake a classic, why not uphaul the visuals as much as possible?
