I have yet to see a game that has more detailed city design than Cyberpunk2077.

Most impressive City to date for sure, the sense of scale they pulled of is insane.
The detail and scope is really amazing, so many things to explore.
Novigrad and Oxenfurt. All the way
Any places from rdr2 feels more real and interactive than cyberpunk, which only have a nice design and the multilevel construction for it.
The architecture, detail and scope is off the charts. I hope they expand on this in the next game.
Visual detail, yeah.
Interactive wise, no.
Probably not directly comparable, but I am still extremely impressed with Leyndell from Elden Ring
the city of istanbul
My favorite Open World, the atmosphere is second to none. I sometimes just walk or drive around, taking everything in. There’s also so many things to find that go on behind the players back that make it feel so alive, like when you find some small environmental storytelling that connects to other places and stories, once you make some connections it really feels like the place continues to live without you, I love that.
[Donau the flower city](https://youtu.be/MMlsHEBtYTQ?si=D5NOhRuxyjQF3UuZ) from Legend of Dragoon.
Minas Tirith from LOTRO. I said what I said
Novigrad definitely. So much to do in that city.
Personally I’m still rooting for Arkham Knight, off of design and architecture alone. These days it seems so hard for companies to pull off good comic-based games and movies, but the Arkham Trilogy in general scratched the fuck out of that itch.
City design in Knight was very nice too, not too flat with good density. I used to glide above it for hours lol. Lighting, building variation, the way everything could look slick in the rain, it was all clean as hell.
Toussaint in Witcher 3 but I wouldn’t say it’s more but it’s definitely my favourite
Despite the best Open World being the Metroidvania-esque Asylum, I think Gotham from Arkham Knight is still very Impressive
I like more stillwater my favorita city in any sandbox but this city IS also really cool.
Man the environment in transformers war for Cybertron and fall of Cybertron were very beautiful
Khorinis from Gothic 2. A city stock full of content, where every house could be visited and every citizen had their own daily routine.
It was impressive in 2001 and it still looks feels good now.
For the nostalgia reasons alone and from the first time ever visiting it years ago has to be Stormwind
Il probably get downvoted but the attention to detail in Division 1 and 2 is still unmatched imo.
Im talkin about texture quality on every binbag down every alley way is incredible to me.
Cp77 world is truly amazin too
easy, gotham city from batman arkham knight
Apparently you’ve never seen me play SimCity 2000
I just beat this, gorgeous city and detail. But even with all the updates, I wish there was more to do in the city.
For me personally it’s Gotham from Arkham Knight. Can’t beat that rainy neon aesthetic
Daily “Cyberpunk looks great” post.
I’m partial to those fake city children’s carpets that were popular in the 80s and 90s, but Dogtown is pretty cool too for sure.
Rapture – Bioshock.
I can’t do quests anymore since I have to roleplay and take the subway. Takes me a solid 15 min to get anywhere in night city.
Hot take: Santa Monica from VTMB.
Surely it’s not as big or as full of things to do in comparison to most modern games, but damn, the hub worlds in VTMB all felt – ironically – alive, specially Santa Monica. It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality, and Santa Monica felt really impressive because every place and NPC were interesting, the atmosphere both visually and mechanically (you need to look at the map in the bus stop to know where to go) felt great, and the sound design was on point too.
I hope gta 6’s City(s) compare.
Varrock.
Night City is a special place ♥️
Citadel from mass effect should be up there
One city that’s weirdly impressive is the city from Half Life Alyx. A lot of it isnt accessible but the overview from the balcony in 1 of the first scenes is so amazing. Its like a completely regular city but then in the future.
Cyberpunk2077 is my all time favorite game so the city is also the best
Anyone mention FF15 altissia? That venice like atmosphere is breathtaking
Yharnam from Bloodborne, You literally explore everything from the upper and lower districts to the outskirts of the city to the sewers and catacombs, and the hidden catacombs which are their own mini city under the whole city.
Every single corner is packed full of detail with every single enemy being placed by hand. Then there’s also how it all begins to crumble to pieces and you start to move between dimensions.
