Decima is my favourite engine. Landscapes are so great, Death Stranding is one of my all tine favorites.

Death Stranding’s my favorite game series, and it too runs on the Decima engine

Yea it’s seriously insane. The lighting is unbelievable. I’m not even the biggest fan of the games themselves, they’re aight imo, but they are some of the most visually stunning gorgeous games I’ve ever seen

I like how you are saying "still" as if it is an ancient game lol. It's like the most graphically advanced game on the PS5 and one of the top on PC

Imo, it is extremely overrated game engine.

It is extremely CPU hungry like, for zero reasons. It foes not have even basic simulation of NPCs or any good physics, still it can destroy a lot of modern CPUs and underutilize GPUs.

All Horizons and Death Stranding 2 affected by this issue, especially on PC.

So I have 0 positive impressions about it, tbh.

ZD and FW look and play so amazing, especially on PC at higher resolutions. I wish Sony kept porting their games to PC.

It honestly looks much more detailed than GTA VI. But casual gamers don't know what Horizon is.

Cringe. Because it is untrue and just your bias. For example, because GTA 6 was not even released and nobody knows what is the GTA 6 exactly so you are basically comparing non existing shit.

My opinion is valid. Horizon Forbidden West is a very pretty game. You can see the hairs on Aloy's face. And it's underwater graphics are amazing. Plus it achieved all that in the early days of the PlayStation 5 while being cross Gen.

GTA VI looks fun in a very different way that Horizon. I won't be buying the game because I'm a Christian but that doesn't make me blind the graphics. It's impressive. But still think Horizon is more detailed. Also Horizon Forbidden West has performance mode that can reach 60 fps. Something GTA definitely won't have on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Those consoles don't even reach 60 fps with GTA VI. It averages in the 40s and 50s.

I mean, the game is barely 4 years old. Not shocked it “still looks good”

It's not like games' graphics have improved significantly over these three years, what do you mean "still"...

I have an rtx4080 bud. I like good graphics too and it's idiotic to say these graphics are objectively bad.

You can dislike them if u like but they are technically very good and thats just a fact

I have 5080 and Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster (same game engine version as FW) has one of the shittiest post-processing I saw in my whole life. It is or fucking soap, or overcharged piece of garbage which can overutilize all your fucking CPU just "because". Game does not have any complex systems, it does not have simulation, strong complex physics. It barely has anything hard for CPU, still it manages to fully load a lot of modern CPUs except of maybe top line x3D ones. This is just pathetic. This game engine is not objectively bad but sorry, you gives it too positive mark too.
