Cyberpunk 2077, probably. The game maxed out will destroy your graphics card but the graphics are undoubtedly gorgeous.

Horizon Forbidden West also has really good graphics.

[–] otacon239@feddit.de 14 points 5 months ago

I second Horizon. There are moments where I’m convinced the graphics are pre-rendered when cranked to the max.

[–] xfts@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I second Cyberpunk, ray tracing enabled or not. That game truly captures a realistic dystopian world in the best way possible.

I just started playing ghost of tsushima on my steam deck and it's fucking gorgeous even on low settings, so I assume that would be pretty beautiful maxed out too.

the most realistic game that can run on windows

Does Geoguessr count?

[–] Asudox@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago

no, absolutely not.

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 14 points 5 months ago

Alan Wake 2 is probably the best looking game running on any system, it works on Linux via Proton

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

You can look for specific games on protondb.com to get a good idea of how they run.

I don't chase high-end PC gaming anywhere near enough to name a single game that is known for realism.

I know it's a meme but I just checked and crysis remastered is supposed to run on linux.

[–] drspod@lemmy.ml 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The facial animation in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is still the best I've ever seen, and that game came out in 2017.

Incredible looking game. I hope the sequel lives up to the original.

[–] Summzashi@lemmy.one 2 points 5 months ago

It was barely a game though.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 months ago

I'll answer your question with another question: What is the most realistic-looking game?

[–] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm not on linux, but I heard star citizen works and it's running a free to play event right now until the 26th of May.

If you don't like Easy Anti Cheat I would avoid it.

[–] Asudox@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

I don't have a problem with anti cheats. I just hate the ones blocking Linux on purpose.

[–] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 months ago

Pro Pinball Timeshock Ultra Edition, probably

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

The most realistic one that I've personally run is The Witcher 3, but I'm sure there are more realistic ones out there.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 5 months ago

Forza 5 looks pretty good and runs on linux
