I was quite impressed when I first saw the trailers for MGS V back a few years ago. But the last thing to just blow my mind was ES IV: Oblivion.

Before I played Oblivion the only games which I really had under my belt were GBA. PS1 and Gamecube games, so when I played Oblivion, I couldn't believe it was possible to have worlds that were so seamless and realistic. It still looks pretty decent today although the character models haven't aged well at all.

I thought the cities in Shadow Fall blew my mind.

After that, it was inFamous. Then after that, it was The Order (which I only just started after the BF sale).

Battlefield 4

Future Rob5VGC here. FF7 Remake.

As of recent stuff hmm, Super Mario 3D World, specially on the rain levels and the final battle is a pure visual bliss, Xenoblade X is really impressive as well in terms of the scope and style, the fruit and rain in Pikmin 3 was really detailed and the final sequence of Lego City Undercover was breathtaking.

I guess for me is more the small moments and how they are presented rather than the actual visuals.

Mario galaxy

Crysis 2-3 and they are still completing with next-gen The Order and Ryse. Since they released years back it only proves how delayed 8th gen really was!

It happened a few times this generation.

First with Killzone Shadow Fall, my first PS4 game, then Infamous Second Son, Far Cry 4 had some moments, The Order 1886 of course and Driveclub. Holy shit, Driveclub.

Waiting for Uncharted 4 now.

Killzone 2 and Motorstorm 1
MGS 4

This Gen

Killzone Shadow Fall at reveal event.
Infamous Second Son
The Order 1886
Now Uncharted 4

But overall impact would be Journey

2010 since God of War III (PS3)...
