Holy crap, this game. The art design and level of detail is godlike. It's like they took inspiration from all of the best French, Japanese, British and American cyberpunk art of the last 40 years and put it all in one game. And the raytracing on PC just takes it over the top. It's pretty ridiculous. I also love how dense and intricate and unashamedly cyberpunky the game's story is as well, just full of wild ideas and crazy concepts.
If this were a turn-based rpg or something it would be close to one of my ideal games, but as a shooter its pretty fun too once you start to upgrade stuff, and you can start sending enemies splattering. And it has cool effects, explosions and destructible environments as well. I've never been a huge fan of top-down shooters, but I'll make an exception in this case.
It's pretty awesome that in the last year or so, most of the best-looking games I've played have been from smaller or indie studios. It's like the barrier to making incredible-looking games is coming down, and it's giving us a lot of stuff to enjoy while AAA studios are increasingly focused on live service dreck and open-world sludge. A Plague Tale, The Medium, Psychonauts 2, Kena Bridge of Spirits and The Ascent - there aren't many better looking or more enjoyable games out there. It really bodes well for the future.
