Digital Foundry experts did not rank places ten to four. On the approaches to the top 3 we stopped:

• Dragon’s Dogma 2;
• Riven (“ Riven: The Sequel to Myst);
• Dragon Age: The Veilguard;
• Silent Hill 2 (remake);
• Astro Bot;
• Black Myth: Wukong.

The top 3 rankings opens with Star Wars Outlaws. Experts assessed the consistency of the graphics with the spirit of Star Wars and the advantages of the Snowdrop engine (reflections, lighting, ray tracing). The game was let down by the intro videos.

Ultimately, Digital Foundry experts chose Indiana. The diversity, content and detail of locations, the competent use of path tracing and flexible performance on different devices played in favor of the project.

In 2023, Digital Foundry experts named Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora the most beautiful, in 2022 they preferred Horizon Forbidden West, in 2021 they awarded the victory to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and in 2020 they awarded the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077.
