RDR2 - everything from streetlights in St. Denis to thunderstorms, sunsets and just general muggy days

Driveclub and FFXV.

Driveclub, in particular, has the best implementation of lighting affected by clouds. You can clearly see parts where sun hit the track through the cloudy weather. The shift from sunny to rain in DC is the most convincing so far, only Flight Simulator have a better solution.

Every other games use tone mapping, add some fake clouds and a grey skybox and shift everything to grey.

The order 1886 was pretty good, its like ps4 version of the bouncer

 

[GHG]

Pretty much all of the frostbite engine games.

Kingdom come deliverance.

AC Unity and GT Sport although both use a pre-baked RT solution and static TOD's.

I still remember being amazed at Mario 64's shadows. Sure it was just a circular disc underneath our plump plumber but lol damn I was impressed.

 

[Warablo]

AC Unity interiors were something else.

Mafia DE looks good

Driveclub. Great lighting AND dynamic time of day with weather effects.

Those races at night with the sun slowly rising... Just amazing.

AC Origins posted in older thread

The Last of Us Part 2's pre-calculated indirect lighting was amazing in dimly lit interiors as well as in the outdoors. And looked remarkably realistic.

Mafia DE looks good

imo Mafia is an example of bad flat lighting during the day.
I say Uncharted 4 and Death Stranding

 

[HE1NZ]

Assassin's Creed Origins. Most beautiful desert, day and night cycle.

 

[Solid Bra]

The last of us part 2 has a really good lighting.

 

[Tschumi]

I'm going to sound like a fanboy here, but for me at least the most memorable lighting was Witcher 3. I know, this is topical, and it kind of broke down at sunset in the cities, but in general i thought the general distant landscape, forests, and the sky - with its haze, combinations of colours, etc - were like an oil painting.

Driveclub, FFXV, RDR2, Mafia DE

Huh for me, lighting outdoors is one of the weaker parts of it's visuals.

 

[LokusAbriss]

GT Sport is pretty amazing in that department:

Kingdom Come: Deliverance
