There are few more i guess, but these are my faves from the ones i played this year.
For me it's Rise of the Tomb Raider. The lighting and texture work are amazing. I had to stop many times just to take in the environment.
I also wonder what the GPU of the year is.
Gotta be Overwatch or Uncharted 4 for me
The 1070! Very powerful, not insanely priced.
Doom 2016 is a masterclass in how to make all the right choices to maximize how good a game runs and looks.
Maybe some games push more polygons or have fancier lighting or do other individual things better, but Doom 2016 is crazy impressive because it's so fast and smooth and also has great visuals.
It also has the best ever implementation of motion blur, it was the first time I've ever played a game with motion blur and didn't want to turn it off.

Is this the reason Juniors get the rep that they do around here?
That's my list. All such astonishingly beautiful games. You could look at detail of Battlefield 1 and think it the best, but compare to the lighting and reflections of Doom or the sheer aesthetic beauty of RotTR and realize they all just have their own priorities and stylistic choices. However, each one is a clear step beyond past accomplishments, just on a new level of production, even past Witcher 3 even though it has such phenomenal art to mask the tech gap.Battlefield 1, Gears of War 4, DOOM, and Rise of the Tom Raider are at the top of the leaderboard, I'd say.
Doom runs better for me, but I think Battlefield 1 is still the better looking game.Yeah. Doom is really a technical marvel.
Somehow quantum break looks ok in screenshots only. I have the game and im sorry it doesnt look that great
