For consoles, nothing really comes clos to Horizon Forbidden West. Genuinely surprised the de facto graphics king hasn't been mentioned before. Then again, knowing this sub it doesn't surprise me at all.
with an ultra high end PC like mine, it gets a little bit more unclear.
Forza Horizon 5 in native 4K runs at over 160 fps for me and is absolutely gorgeous. I still think HFW looks at least as good, if not not better. Though obviously limited to a jarring 40 fps, literally 1/4 of what I get in FH5.
Then there's Plague Tale 2: Requiem, which runs at sub 1080p and struggles with 30 fps on consoles, but I run max settings, ray tracing at native 4K (no DLSS or FG) and get 70+ fps. With FG on that fps goes up to about 90. put on DLSS quality and its around 110 fps. the lighting, shadows, ray tracing, and 3D like depth / geometry of the textures has to be the best I have ever seen. character models are possibly the best but Sony flagship titles like TLOU, GOW, Days Gone, Spiderman, Horizon etc have better animations / mocap for sure.
short answer: with a 4090 PC - winner = Plague Tale 2
limited to consoles - winner = Horizon Forbidden West
