I was shocked of how good it still looks Tomb Raider on the steam deck. I played the trilogy from Epic Store and it looks and runs perfectly.

Hellblade: Senua’s sacrifice runs almost always smoothly with everything on high and it is stunningly good looking. Just one part of the game I had to turn down graphics cos fps were getting extremely low. And it’s not just about how nature, forest, rain, water etc looks good, but the damn sounds of that game, such and incredibile experience

Edit: forgot to mention: No Man’s Sky. Stunning. Might get repetitive sometimes but I like to play it for exploration and relax and I find myself sitting somewhere and just admire the random generated nature. Some planets are impressive.

Medieval Dynasty

Days Gone

Subnautica!

I loved the scenery in The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter

Valheim. I get lost in the vistas. It can be as fighting intense as you want, or as builder intense as you want, or just chill and check out the vistas. I absolutely LOVED Subnautica and Satisfactory. They all three share the same vibe of “gotta do this gotta do that—oh damn, what a stunning view. Huh.” But all three are distinct games that will always stand out for me.

The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter

Elden Ring has some amazingly beautiful vistas because Fromsoft are masters at environmental art.

Ac odyssey

Witcher 3, All Metros, No Man’s Sky, Dying Light 2, Skyrim, and Fallout 4 (with hundreds of greenery mods)

tbh open world racing games like forza horizon 4-5 and Nfs (2010 and above but preferably Unbound)

The concrete jungle in GTA IV

death stranding
