Numerous games compensate players for the eye-watering investments that top builds require. It's worth pointing out that the games on this list are judged on the developer's intended product; adding mods into the equation would turn this into an entirely different list. Granted, PC parts are having their own shortage issues.
However, many gamers have still been able to buy or create top-of-the-line PCs that can provide stunning visuals. To give such people an idea of what games will look best on their PC, we've expanded this list by a further five entries. Microsoft Flight Simulator released in August , and let players explore the world at a time where much of the world was in lockdown. Asobo Studio's game features an incredible rendition of Earth thanks to data from Bing Maps, letting players fly over some of the most iconic locations across the globe.
The game's rendition of Earth is the main selling point for many players. But for others, the flight controls are also a treat for anyone wanting an authentic, immersive experience. From one flying game to another, Star Wars: Squadrons ditches Microsoft Flight Simulator 's realism for the fantasy sci-fi battles from the Star Wars universe.
Where Flight Simulator provides a true-to-life look at Earth, Squadrons throws players in enormous space-battles with countless ships engaging in combat. Rather than giving players a third-person perspective of their ship, the game puts them front and centre in the cockpit. This helps to provide an engrossing experience.
The incredible warfare visuals combined with the immersive sound design makes players feel like they're in the midst of battle. A game centered around being a hitman may not seem like a natural source of stunning locations. However, Agent 47 is lucky enough to travel to numerous beautiful areas throughout 's Hitman 3. From the game's starting location of Dubai to a quintessential British manor to a vibrant nightclub in Berlin, these locations will put the capabilities of even high-end PCs to the test.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition may not be a new game, per se, but it gets a shiny coat of paint as well as a few extras that make one of the most exciting gaming series ever worth revisiting. Additionally, there have been some technical and gameplay improvements for a more seamless experience.
This epic space saga not only takes you across multiple galaxies and worlds but pits you against all sorts of enemies. Whether you follow the main story or one of the many side quests, the narrative is engrossing. Best of all, you get all three games in a single package. The newest release from Rockstar Games was an instant hit upon release. Red Dead Redemption 2 is an engrossing western following Arthur Morgan and his gang as they try to survive a fictionalized Wild West as outlaws on the run.
However, the game is much more than just that. The gameplay is stellar, and the graphics are gorgeous. You can even run the game in 8K , if you have the hardware. Doom: Eternal takes everything from the remastered Doom of and turns it up to The game is intense, visually and sonically overwhelming, and is exactly what you would expect a fever dream inspired by Doom would feel like.
The gameplay is a seamless first-person shooter where you trek into hell to battle an assortment of never-ending demons and reclaim an overrun earth. However, this game is all about creating havoc and rushing into battle as loud and as brash as possible. Not only is Doom: Eternal a hell of a ride pun intended. No game has been as anticipated for as much or as long as Half Life 3.
