[Thursday, January 2, 2025]

Everyone is summing up the results of the year, and Digital Foundry specialists decided to do this by compiling the top most beautiful games of the outgoing year.

The list is topped by one of the last blockbuster films of 2024 - Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. According to the editor of the publication, the only competitor to the MachineGames game was only the second Hellblade. Interestingly, both projects were published by Microsoft.

The Indiana Jones game took the top spot thanks to its impressive use of ray tracing and excellent optimization on the Xbox Series X. Ubisoft's Star Wars project also made it into the top three.

  1. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle;
  2. Senua's Saga: Hellblade II;
  3. Star Wars Outlaws.

When discussing Outlaws, we noted obvious technical problems and cut scenes that are inferior in quality to the gameplay. However, this did not stop us from appreciating the picture.

The top 10 (without ranking by location) also included the following projects:

  • Black Myth: Wukong;
  • Penny's Big Breakaway;
  • Astro Bot;
  • Remake of Silent Hill 2;
  • Dragon Age: The Veilguard;
  • Riven;
  • Dragon's Dogma 2.

At the end of the year we mentionedS.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2,Persona 3 Reload,Metaphor: ReFantazio,Final Fantasy VII RebirthandPower Rangers: Rita's Rewind. According to them, the games also look good, but there are some problems with them.

As before, Digital Foundry employees evaluated projects not only by picture quality, but also by technical performance. Therefore, the top included titles that may have questions.
