I also mostly played slightly older games on not quite cutting edge hardware, but since upgrading to something half modern there are a few games that really impress with their graphics. Cyberpunk 2077 springs to mind. It’s the near photo realism of the environments that impresses mostly. The depth and detail in a scene must be really demanding, but damn if it doesn’t look really nice. I think we’re now at a point where it’s going to be only the bigger developers who can really make the most of the hardware as designing the worlds can be so unique, detailed and time consuming to make. Smaller developers aren’t going to have the time or budget to build such detailed worlds that will push top hardware (assuming equally well optimized code)

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!
