You don't really want to jump, Daniel, or you would have done it already.

Now hand me the gun and this will all be over.

Welcome to watchmojo and today we're looking at video games with the most realistic graphics.

Even if a game takes place in a non realistic world, if it features elements that look real, from character models to environmental details, it was considered for this list.

Number 20 Far Cry 6 I've caught a very big fish today, haven't I?

Far Cry 6 thrusts players into a dangerous landscape, but one that's awfully nice to look at.

The fictional Caribbean island of Yara is a playground of lush tropical environments rendered with breathtaking detail.

From dense overgrown jungles and sun drenched beaches to bustling urban areas and enemy encampments, the visuals help create a world that is alive and tangible.

This is all helped by an immersive lighting system and dynamic weather with wonderful water effects.

That's not to mention strong, detailed character models bringing the island's citizens to life.

No matter what you're doing, it's only natural to get distracted wanting to soak in each and every texture.

When a game has this much environmental storytelling, you'd better hope the environment holds up visually.

The game looked incredible upon release, but

it then received a redux version that utilized the Unreal Engine 4 in marvelous ways.

It really blurs the boundaries between the game world and the real one.

The foggy backdrop, the mountains in the distance and the lake in between all take our breath away.

Soon we won't have to take vacations to beautiful places.

Number 18 Detroit Become Human hi Daniel.

Other than Twitter twisting, thought provoking narratives, you can always expect Quantic Dream to deliver standout visuals, especially when it comes to the human face.

Become Human is no different, and one of its biggest points of praise at release were its graphics.

Facial animations capture subtle expressions and micro movements, making interactions profoundly lifelike.

Perfect for a game centering around androids, every character was crafted with such intricate detail, including subtle skin imperfections and nuanced eye movements that seem suck you into the story.

Not for nothing, this version of Detroit is a strong blend of familiar and futuristic with sophisticated lighting and attention to detail that successfully sells its world as a believable reality.

know that we are not going anywhere until we have secured our freedom.

Not only does the game capture the detail of the vibrant metropolis that is Los Santos, but

Its sprawling skyscrapers, colorful individuals, vehicles and wildlife are all fleshed out thanks to the graphical engine.

The weather effects and array of different biomes each convey their own atmosphere.

Whether you're taking a stroll along the beach, engaged in a ferocious firefight, flying a plane to take in the view, or inspecting garbage on the street, it all looks phenomenal.

While the original version does show its age these days, enhanced ports over the years have kept everything looking fresh.

Number 16 God of war Ragnarok we want to keep this one low since some elements like environments and enemies clearly lean more towards fantastical instead of realistic.

But at the same time, come on, have you seen Kratos or nearly every other character in the game?

Just like its 2018 predecessor, God of War, Ragnarok mixes mythological fantasy with grounded realism.

Character models feature richly detailed skin tones and muscle movements working in tandem with performances.

Using Sony Santa Monica's glorious motion capture work, you can count the individual hairs in Kratos beard and see every wrinkle in his tired, stubborn face.

Armor sets are also hyper detailed and fabric physics flow and react to every movement.

Plus, although fantastical landscapes featuring frost covered trees or crumbling ruins breathe vigorously with realistic energy, well, I don't recognize that dull expression anywhere.

Lara Croft's reboot trilogy has aged remarkably well, visually speaking, and

it reached its peak of stunning us with its graphics during the finale.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider follows the iconic heroine searching for a lost Incan city and trying to stop an apocalypse she accidentally started.

Throughout every moment, the sense of exploring a dense, humid South American jungle is palpable, primarily because of how Lara's character model reacts to it.

Every drop of sweat, every splash of mud that cakes her body immerses you in her fight for survival.

It doesn't hurt that every environment is packed with detail.

From the lush foliage to the realistic water effects, this meticulously crafted world is an evolution in environmental rendering.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is that tyranny?

No, it is conviction they trust in their future with you.

Since its plot revolves around real life history, the Assassin's Creed series is usually a strong recommendation when looking for realistic visuals.

Set in feudal Japan, Shadows is so far the pinnacle in this regard.

Ubisoft's dedication to creating period accurate architecture, weaponry and materials shines in every asset, big or small.

Utilizing an updated version of the Anvil Engine.

It features an evolution in the franchise's dynamic lighting, showcased beautifully as it seeps through every structure and bounces along the bustling streets.

Natural landscapes that populate the rest of its well sized open world can also draw you in.

Although Ubisoft's formula gets some criticism, the world and strive for realistic depiction in shadows is still commendable.

That happens when you empty your head of the past.

Number 13 Horizon Forbidden west all because of a terraforming system that's spiraling out of control.

Ignore the giant human hunting machine animals for a second, Even if they are a visual marvel when it comes to realistic graphics.

In Horizon Forbidden west, it's the diverse, richly detailed character models and landscapes that deserve the praise.

Every single character in this vast open world is unique.

From the hair on their head to the condition of their skin, to the meticulously designed clothes on their back.

This is only matched by its wonderful world design, featuring a variety of carefully built biomes that showcase breathtaking draw distance and strong environmental storytelling through real world locations overrun by nature.

Particularly on the PS5 with Guerrilla Games updated Decima engine, it's a stunning display of realism, even in a world far from our own.

Again, we have a game that blends fantastical elements with grounded realism.

And when it comes to capturing its characters in a realistic fashion, it's hard to argue against Ninja Theory's work here.

It is a stunning showcase of the visual fidelity capable with Unreal Engine 5.

The performance capture here is an impeccable next step in what the team accomplished with the first game.

This caliber of work, translating every expression and feeling from the ground to the subtle, truly inspires awe.

The team also visited Iceland and used satellite data to accurately rebuild the country within their game's world.

This anchors the entire grid experience, keeping us grounded with Senua for her journey.

Number 11 Ghost of Yotei I want you to know that I understand what it means to lose a mother.

With Ghost of Tsushima, Sucker Punch proved its ability to craft a world brimming with beauty and historical accuracy.

Directors Nate Fox and Jason Connell were even named ambassadors for Tsushima Island.

Built with the power of the PS5 in mind, Ghost of Yotai is an even more remarkable demonstration of the studio's talent and attention to detail.

Every step you take builds a magnificent journey through 1600s Japan.

From snow drenched tundra to farmland scorched by warfare, to the gorgeous fields and woodlands.
