In places, yes. As a whole, or anywhere near the scale, not even close.
Nothing better than a ride in the city to clear the mind!

RT Overdrive with mods is unmatched for next couple years, maybe GTA6 will have RT support and surpass it

I don’t think so. maybe …. just maybe only red dead redemption 2. that’s another stunning game

Probably Alan Wake 2

Imo possibly RDR2 (not quite) and Ghost Of Tsushima(actual answer). GOT is an extremely rare case of cutting edge graphics and genuinely inspired art direction. In that game just riding through the world is a blissful joy. Just my opinion though(on consoles, so idk how much pc’s can push 2077’s visual performance).

Avatar for me. It is a different visual setting altogether but holy hell, I could not believe my eyes playing avatar. But I do have an AMD so I guess that favours avatar

Cyberpunk looks great, but the upcoming update for Star Citizen blows it out of the water (pun intended for those who know)

Horizon Forbidden West does, in my opinion

Objectively, No. cyberpunk is the only game that can enable path tracing on high end pc’s, the updated, insane version of ray tracing basically.

I mean both RDR2 and TW3 were pretty outstanding visually for their time.
Cyberpunk stands out not just because the graphics are outstanding now, but because the art/visuals are so breathtaking.
Night City is like a Vegas casino turned up to 11 where everything glitters and bombards you visually from a distance and turns to dust if you get too close.
From an interactive perspective I’d argue it isn’t up there with some of the other worlds that have been created, but looking at it from the metro at night it holds its own with anything on the market including RDR2.

Star Citizen comes close, but because of its scale, it can’t get to this detail.

Only thing close in terms of complete world design, art style and implementation is Red Dead Redemption 2. But it isn’t anything like as pretty.

I like Hogwarts Legacy more. Graphics and atmosphere are great. Can’t say that for cyberpunk except during the night

Rekirinx
are you using any lighting mods or is this just rt?
TigreSauvage
If we’re comparing pure graphical showcase (i.e. look how pretty!), then there are games like Alan Wake 2 and RDR 2 that are right up there with it. However, at Cyberpunk’s size and scale, I think it’s probably the best looking game until GTA 6 comes out.
MorenaLedovec
in my opinion no game comes close to the overall graphical design, maybe some games have higher res textures better lightning, but no game has all of the things combined so well together+the city is one of the GOATS of the open world genre

Allan wake looks great but its scale is like 1/10 cb2077

I think Elden Ring is worth a mention

St least in term of ray tracing, alan wake 2.

Honestly without using mods my experience with Cybperpunk at 1440p maxed settings haven’t been good at all. Textures pop in constantly while driving, tons of low quality Textures when looking up close and the worst is smoke, it’s more pixilated than in GTA3

Not with as smooth as it does
I know it took a while to get there but seriously an extremely dense city that looks this beautiful running at high frame rates is no small feat

I’m limited by my hardware and can’t run it on overdrive.
So while I wouldn’t say other games look better, they don’t look worse either.

My PC ain’t all that good so it’s hard to say but The last of Us 2 RDR2 and Horizon 2 would be the ones that are also up there for me.

For Most people a good graphics equalizes the amount of grass and trees. That’s because over the years devs have mastered this technique so every game that comes out nowadays has superb foliage and as a bonus dynamic light snd shadows work really well in such enviroment. Meanwhile cyberpunk has basically zero trees so lot of areas between the skyscrapers fall kinda flat just like in real life amazon forest will be more interesting to look at than downtown New York. There’s something within us that considers these massive concrete buildings as ugly an unnatural.
Another point is that since good lighting in cities is hard to make since most of the time the sun is going to be obscured by skyscrapers, so during daylight many areas will look boring as a result, however i think cyberpunk has done some really good effort to make the random streets and alleys pop out especially at night which is where the game shines the most. Right now there isn’t a better looking game than Night city at night. There just isn’t. But since we’re talking about daylight i will admit despite cdpr’s best efforts to make it visually appealing it really does not look nowhere near as good and big streets and highways under direct sunlight look almost ps3 level. But that’s where the ray tracing and path tracing come to save the day with their superb solution for global illumiation and shadow. When people say ray tracing is a gimmick, then they didn’t play cyberpunk. Ray tracing fixes so many problems and visual artifacts compared to raster especially on human skin. Overall i think cyberpunk is top tier looking game for what it is (city based action shooter), it’s just that most people don’t understand what good graphics mean so they usually go with what looks most appealing to them. That’s why Horizon 2 and RDR2 are rated so high because they just have more grass and grass looks more appealing to human. I mean you can just go to dogtown and check out first hand how big of a difference some hanging vines and overgrown buldings can make.
