I’d like to test my PC a bit It must also run on Linux, either natively or through proton

    Art style, graphical fidelity, or both? Cyberpunk 2077 is probably the best looking game to test your PC right now.

        Cyberpunk 2077 fucking nailed the aesthetic it was going for - it has short comings but the visual immersion absolutely isn’t one of them.

          Agree. RDR2 may not be the best test of high end hardware though, since it was already beautiful on the PS4. It’s just incredibly well optimised.

        The game is absolutely gorgeous, so is the expansion. Start to finish it has an incredibly solid, interesting and suprsing plot. Just dripping with style and in universe asethic. You can really tell that the art department had a lot of fun with it.

    Satisfactory can be downright gorgeous, and it’s a test of the hardware. I saw elsewhere in the thread your specs are a Ryzen 7700x, 32GB of RAM and a Radeon 7700xt. I have a similar built, but with a 7900GRE instead, I run Fedora KDE on this box. I’d be interested in comparing notes.

    Alan Wake 2 legit blurs the line when presenting a character; between film footage and digitizing the actor. Even the games environments blend in photographed and filmed objects. It’s a masterpiece of a game, with beautiful graphics, and a fun and bonkers story.

    I should be playable from Epic Games Store via Lutris or similar. Or from sailing the high seas.

        AW2 is DRM-free. I imagine it can be run completely independent of Epic. You’d need the store to purchase and download it but you could probably even uninstall the Epic app afterwards. I haven’t tested this though, so please don’t just take my word for it.

    I don’t know if it’s Linux compatible but Elite Dangerous is absolutely beautiful and really sets a strong tone.

    I’d recommend Half Life: Alyx.

    Or, you can probably make an absolute beast of Skyrim through mods.

    Try Minecraft FTB mod with 4k Texture Pack and Real life shaders with 512 chunk distance.

    Or Just use nuts.wad

    I’m currently into 3D factory building games, so I would recommend Techtonica or Satisfactory.

    Any of the Horizon games, genuinely some of the most beautiful games I have ever played. Zero Dawn has some downright beautiful winter environments. And while I’ve barely started Forbidden West, that game is a step up from the from the first game from the very first moment you get control of Aloy. So pretty! I recommend watching the trailers to see more

      The gameplay looks pretty meh, and the game is still in early access. I’ll wait for it to exit this stage of development and then buy it.

      Probably, I have a Ryzen 7 7700x, SAPPHIRE AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT PULSE 12GB GPU and 32 gigs of RAM

        I’m not up to date with my computer components, but sounds impressive.

        I have to include that my comment was a joke. Not sure if you know the reference? Sorry in advance if you do.

            Ouch. Why must you attack me so savagely. I’m hurt down to all the cracking joints I have when I run. (Joking of course, well not about the joints, but the rest)
