The new generation of PS5 and Xbox Series X | S advances relentlessly and we review the previous generation, including the PC.
Time continues to advance inexorably and, oddly enough, it has been more than two months since PlayStation 5 , Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S were released. Although the desire for the ninth generation is constantly breaking the stock of the new consoles, we do not want to forget so quickly the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One , two machines that have given us many joys .
We are talking about realistic graphics, not just spectacularIn fact, the generation has had several graphic and technical marvels , that even today we wonder how they could have been possible on those machines, such as The Last of Us 2 . It is true that both Sony and Microsoft decided to release intergenerational consoles , with PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X , but also that the base machines have peaked and given a lot of themselves.
At 3DJuegos we want to look back and remember the video games with more realistic graphics of the past generation. That is to say, from PS4, Xbox One and also PC , on the condition that the games have been released within the life of the consoles. We cannot forget of course the compatible ones, because in addition PC Gaming continues to grow and there are more and more players on that platform. It is important to qualify this. We are talking about realistic graphics, not just spectacular , because in that case, there would be many other titles here in the vein of Gears 5, Uncharted 4 or Ghost of Tsushima.
The truth is that this generation that is already perishing (in part, because we are going to continue receiving games for the past generation and intergenerational) has left us authentic works of art , also technically and graphically. Are you missing any? Let’s all make this article even longer. Several of the games on the list came out in 2020 , a good year for video games, which also left us with great open-world video games .

Detroit Become HumanQuantic Dream has accustomed us over the years to interactive adventures in which our actions change everything, but also to games with actors as protagonists, seeking realism to make their stories more spectacular. And this is one of his best works.
Microsoft Flight SimulatorFew experiences are more realistic and spectacular than flying over cities around the world with the level of detail in this new Flight Simulator. For now only on PC, but with plans to debut on Xbox One and Xbox Series, it is a technological marvel.
God of warOne of the great video games of the past generation was the return of the God of War saga. Santa Monica made a title with great playability, powerful in its history and very remarkable on a graphic and technical level. It has never been so spectacular to deal right and left with Kratos.
Hellblade: Senua’s SacrificeAlthough Hellblade is not a cutting-edge video game in terms of technology, since it is born from a small team with a reduced budget, what Ninja Theory achieved when recreating Senua is spectacular, with a realism worthy of praise. His expressiveness and his looks are of another level.
Death strandingHideo Kojima’s latest creation was not without controversy, but what is clear is that graphically it is the best that has been done. His post-apocalyptic world looks great, but it’s his characters that reach impressive heights of realism
The Last of Us 2Beyond controversies with the history of the video game, what is clear is that the latest Naughty Dog video game is a graphic and technical marvel, with an obsession for almost sickly detail. His characters feel alive, real, with an amazing expressiveness.
Resident Evil 7The RE Engine is giving us a lot of joy. We could talk about the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3, but we have bet on this episode, which stands out for the realism with which the psychopathic Baker family has been brought to life. Resident Evil 8 promises to raise the bar a lot.
Gran Turismo Sport and Forza Motorsport 7Hold on, curves are coming. It was difficult for us to choose between Forza 7 and Forza Horizon 4, but hey, take both for chosen. As for Gran Turismo 7, there is no question. Both Xbox and PlayStation have had two very good simcades, great also on a graphic and technical level.
Red Dead Redemption 2Rockstar’s game is, for many, the video game of the generation. Of course, it has more than enough arguments to be it and among them is its graphic and technical section, the level of animations and absolute care for detail. A game ahead of its time
Half-Life AlyxValve’s game is perhaps one of those titles that didn’t get all the attention they deserved, but it’s an incredible virtual reality experience that also leaves us with brutally realistic character modeling. When you have them in front of you, you think they are people.
