Despite these qualities that would traditionally hold it back, it exceeded all expectations. Project Cars is the only game on this list that was crowd-funded, and also the only racing game.

That said, support for 4K and 5K resolutions, higher-quality shading, dynamic super resolution, and all-new graphical settings makes the PC version a cut above the often praised current-generation console releases. The game is limited in environmental styles, set in only two regions (Afghanistan and Africa), which held it back to some degree.

As with the Ground Zeroes prologue before it, the game runs remarkably well across a variety of platforms while delivering a presentation that has been developed meticulously with phenomenal animation work and superbly defined character models. Kojima Productions deserves a mention here if only for how optimized Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is.

Chaos is a major part of Just Cause 3's gameplay, and it's fun to cause a series of explosions and view the resulting destruction. But where it really shines is with its effects and physics. Zipping around using the grapple hook is made a lot better by its fantastic presentation that stretches across several islands rich with vegetation and tall vertical structures. Instead of a post apocalyptic world, it is set in the colorful beauty of the Mediterranean. Just Cause 3's presentation is similarly impressive as Mad Max, but with a much different style. A wide range of graphical options including point light sSpecular, parallax mapping, and fog/particle upsampling allowed for a high graphical ceiling, affording the lucky few with high end graphics cards to see something that was a monumental step above the console versions.

The team that made Just Cause 2 was tasked with making a Mad Max game to coincide with this year's film release. At higher resolution it's capable of producing screenshots that mimic real-life when taken at the right angles. It uses a few technologies such as percentage closer soft shadows and TXAA, along with a wide range of graphical options to produce stunning image quality despite the massive size of its world. Grand Theft Auto V's PC port was a home run for Rockstar, and is one of the best showcases for how quickly PC hardware is advancing.

It might be cheating for this two year old game to be earning a spot in a list such as this, but it deserves it. Nonetheless, the game is a serious looker, which is impressive given that it's an open-world zombie apocalypse game. Its only major weakness is abusive use of chromatic aberration and lens flare which causes bleeding on object edges. Changeable weather conditions, a physical lighting model, spherical harmonics, and atmospheric ccattering make it a progressive game visually. It started 2015 off right with a strong showing from a new and improved Chrome Engine.
