For RPGs, aside from the ability to attract gamers through stories, characters, combat mechanics… some games also captivate players with breathtaking graphics. Since PC is the perfect platform for developers to showcase their abilities, RPGs on PC not only offer great gameplay but also stunning graphics. Let’s take a look at the top 10 RPGs with eye-catching graphics on PC.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
If you’re a fan of Final Fantasy, then experiencing this remake will surely leave you in awe, as the graphics of this RPG are stunning, not to mention the action combat mechanics that have completely changed from the original version, providing an exhilarating experience. Cloud, already handsome, is now even more dashing; Aerith and Tifa are simply mesmerizing, one look and you’ll be smitten.
In addition to the improved graphics, the PC version supports 4K resolution and HDR, making the images look more realistic and vibrant. Moreover, Square Enix has mentioned that for high-end PC configurations, this game can achieve 120 FPS, providing a smoother combat experience and more satisfying combos.
God Of War
Most of God of War takes place in ancient Scandinavia in Midgard – where humans and other creatures live. Additionally, players can explore other mystical locations such as Alfheim, home to Elves, the icy Helheim of the deceased, and the majestic Jötunheim with towering giant mountains. You will also visit the foggy and toxic Niflheim and Muspelheim – the land of fire. Each location has different scenery and enemies, creating diversity in gameplay and graphics, allowing players to immerse themselves in the world of Norse mythology.
The PC version of God of War promises to offer gamers a range of new improvements including high fidelity graphics, support for 4K resolution, enhanced shadow resolution, improved screen space reflections, and unlocked frame rates for images that are not only detailed and eye-catching but also smooth. Additionally, the PC version supports ultra-widescreen (21:9 aspect ratio) to cover the player’s field of vision, creating a cinematic experience. Not mentioning God of War when discussing beautiful RPGs on PC would be a huge oversight.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the greatest action-adventure RPGs of all time and also among the most beautiful of its era. This game deserves to be a landmark in the gaming industry and is a prestigious crown for CD Projekt Red (at least until they tarnished it with the disappointing launch of “Cyber-bug 2077”). Depending on the mission you are on, the game will take you on adventures to new lands. Each character has a unique charm. From the charming rogue with a smile that makes women swoon like Geralt to the strong and noble young woman like Ciri; Yennefer is proud and elusive but hides a fragile soul beneath her black cloak.
Enhancing all of this is a graphical backdrop that, even after many years, can still be considered stunning. From character models to armor, weapons, spells, flora, and fauna, everything is visually appealing. Whether you’re hunting monsters in the plains of Velen, exploring the cobbled streets of Novigrad, or traversing an ancient forest, The Witcher 3 will provide you with an amazing experience. Weather effects also change with each moment of your journey. So if you get tired of fighting, horseback riding to enjoy the scenery is not a bad idea either.
Cyberpunk 2077
Despite the controversies surrounding game bugs, Cyberpunk 2077 has still been commercially successful and is one of the best-selling RPGs of all time. Of course, Cyberpunk 2077’s success is also due to the reputation left by The Witcher III, but it still has its own merits. On a positive note, and putting aside the controversies, Cyberpunk 2077 offers a vibrant open world for PC gamers to explore. Night City is filled with many interesting secrets that you must navigate through every nook and cranny to uncover. Another thing is that the graphics of this RPG are truly beautiful.
As for the graphics, this game is already top-tier. To run Cyberpunk 2077 at maximum settings and 4K resolution, you’ll need at least an RTX 2080 Super, RTX 3070, or RX 6800 graphics card. But even that isn’t enough to ensure a smooth gameplay experience over 60 FPS, just enough to play it. It may sound challenging, but once you can run the game, you will have a top-notch graphical experience, immersing yourself in the enchanting and realistic scenery of a futuristic world. The images of neon lights and the predominant cybernetic characters in the game will surely leave a strong impression in your mind.
Horizon Zero Dawn
The story of Horizon Zero Dawn begins in the 31st century, after the advanced civilization of humanity has collapsed. Machines have risen to become powerful mechanical creatures that dominate the Earth. You will play as Aloy, a female hunter born and raised in a post-apocalyptic world, on a mission to stop a cult that worships a destructive artificial intelligence. This open world is sure to impress players, especially in how the developers have created these fictional mechanical creatures. They are stunning, eye-catching, and provide a feeling that cannot be found in any other game.
The game is also incredibly skillful in blending seemingly unrelated elements of prehistory, post-apocalypse, and future technology in a harmonious way. Not stopping at just the design of the settings and characters, every effect in the game has been meticulously polished to perfection. You will be overwhelmed by the fragrant flower-filled paths and the sun-drenched plains. Surely, just playing through this beautiful RPG will leave a lasting impression in your heart.
