Most photorealistic game ever?

Physics can contribue to realistic graphics, because in real life there are physics like swaying vegetation.

It can contribute to graphics but overall there are other factors that weigh in more heavily such as lighting model, shading model, and textures. A bidirectional path traced game with a bidirectional scattering distribution function model will do a much better job of matching the cornell box in real life than a near perfect physics engine. 

There's only so much that physics can contribute to graphics ... 

It's down to a difference of opinion then. To me, the physics were one of the main things that make modded Crysis the most photorealistic game I've seen to date.
