What games take place in beautiful worlds? I don't mean beautiful as in having good graphics, I mean beautiful as in pleasant and fantastic. The kind of places you'd be happy to visit.
I'm starting this off with Grow Home. I tend to like low-poly graphics in general, and this game uses them for a very bright and clean artstyle. The small planet with gigantic plants makes for a nice, wonderful and comfy setting.
Skyrim and Fallout 4
...
Snake Pass had a very pleasant world with green grass and blue skies, the first two worlds anyway. The Grant Kirkhope soundtrack doesn't hurt either.
Pretty much every 3D mario platformer features beautiful worlds. Other than that, Stellaris has beautiful space.
The continent of Zemuria in the Trails games have a shit ton of very beautiful locales. The Ys games also usually have very nice looking places.
Wolfenstein
david wise, not grant kirkhope
My mistake
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has some amazing areas, I've stopped many times to just stand, stare at the landscape, and take a screenshot.
Picture not mine, but I've taken many like it.

I like the environmental design of Xenoblade Chronicles. Large open levels that give off a good sense of scale with great skyboxes too.
On a serious note, Oblivion because forests and cities were pretty, especially with the comfy music. Literally the only good aspects of the game.
Say what you will but the details of the maps in Bethesda games is extremely impressive and they manage to pull off some very pretty environments despite the very outdated engine.
It's possibly the one thing they can do right, most likely because they've been making open worlds longer than anyone else.
It was nice to just walk everywhere through the forests with the comfy music going
The Talos Principle, particularly levels from Road to Gehenna.
It hurts
Morrowind
No shit.
IGG put it up but neglected to mention that it's uncracked. Usually they're able to crack every new VR title that gets shit out on Steam, so it was pretty unexpected.
All the worse because Talos Principle is supposedly one of the best VR conversions so far, that kind of comfy first-person puzzle/exploration game works really well in VR.

Dark Souls 3 is the Dark Souls of video game worlds.
As shitty as Skyrim's gameplay and lore changes are, the atmosphere is damn good.

He's only wrong on FO4. Skyrim is pretty. With weather, survival, and camping mods it can be so comfy you almost forget you're playing garbage.
Oblivion forfeited the ability to be pretty by virtue of being a completely different biome from what it was supposed to be.
Xenoblade X
That's really deep user.
Man i remember the first time i saw that in the game, it left me speechless
I know you're trying to bait, but Skyrim really is pretty.
Fallout 4 has a lot more color than most post-apocalyptic games, but even so, there's only so much rusted sheet metal I can look at before I get sick of it.
Ruined structures are much more memorable and atmosphere-building if you can tell that they used to be grand, like stone castles. Normal apartment buildings that have crumbled and rusted don't have the same appeal.
Nier: Automata managed to effectively portray modern buildings in ruin, but I think those looked good because they were so overgrown with foliage, unlike Fallout 4. You got a sense of nature reclaiming the Earth in humanity's absence.
Rethink this.
Make way for the reigning champ.
Why is that river not channeled into 50x50 swastika pond that goes down and floods every cave and demons with the most national socialist liquid - water?
Outcast
What both W3 and Witcher aesthetic have in common, and which I can't help but love, gameplay be damned, is the northern forestry. Seeing a mixed and/or birch tree forest in a game just gets me wild. They're the games closest that I have come (with decent visual alacrity) to walking around in the forests in my country.
Hahaha I'm 13 and I also think swastikas are ultra-hardcore and epic for trolling le triggered SJWs.

I really like the fantasy zone
Mein nigger
wow, ps2 emulators are such a great way to take games that looked like shit when they released and make them look great.
pics like this make me sad my computer isnt good enough to run one.
Myst and Uru are my favorites. I would love to visit the Cavern and the Great City of D'ni.
Malachor V has its own brutal charm, but I'm not sure if it's the kind of place I'd retire to.
A really obvious answer.
Kill yourself, KIKE.

It could have had rainforests, jungles, actually different cultures and styles of cities, and different tribes and races of Imperials. It could have had an actual metropolis at the center of it all, full of people from all over the world. It could have had the dragons that are supposed to be advisors and champions of the Dragon Empire found throughout. It could have had processions of moth priests surrounded by clouds of gypsy moths that channel the souls of the peoples' ancestors. It could have had decadently elegant nobles with naginata-wielding part-Tsaesci bodyguards. It could have had the mysterious Elder Council pursuing their own ends alien to those of the rest of the people, using advanced technology like this internet analogue that feeds from the realm of souls/the realm of dreams. It could have portrayed the cultural clash between the European-esque Colovians and the South Asian-esque Nibenese, and the comfortable at-home-ness found between them despite that.
All of this Oblivion could have been, and you praise what the kikes at ZeniMax decided it would be.
Cyrodiil could have had rice farms deep in the jungles, sugarcane plantations on the lower slopes of mountains, and moth temples/nurseries all throughout. The many temples could have been distinct from each-other (and there could have been many of them indeed - "There are said to be thousands upon thousands of saints, and the Imperial City even has a market dedicated to the trading in saintly relics", not to mention the totemic religions that could have also been found in Skyrim and monotheistic societies like what the Marukhati Selective would have been eras ago). Cyrodiil could have had its rivers turned crimson from the red clay of their shores, with river drakes peacefully swimming about within. Perhaps some amount of influence of the Hist could have been found in the deep south-east, on the Argonian border - but there's no telling what that could involve, for the Hist are an enigmatic, likely very highly advanced society whom we've seen virtually nothing of in TES so far.
You could have chosen a more flattering screenshot
Especially since you see it after going through two swamp areas then a shitty cave, the contrast really made it.
Prince of Persia 08.
I never see anybody talk about this game, probably because it is one giant QTE, but it was fun, beautiful, and had a solid OST.
Myst definitely.
Answering your own question here. The game did look beautiful. But it was a long chore to play and the characters/plot were left on a cliffhanger that went nowhere. Even after the DLC.
Witcher 3 is really nice looking. Combined with some real comfy tracks while you roam around the world, its a real good experience.
Myst is the greatest powerpoint presentation ever made.
The world in Shadow of the Colossus is beautiful and atmospheric.
I recently finished Diluvion, and it was a truly beautiful submarine game. Being underwater really looks like being underwater, and even the deepest reaches of the ocean are beautiful in their own ghostly way.
I'd also recommend Subnautica for the same reasons, but I'm waiting for that game to get finished before starting the play it myself.
I got as far as the start of the second area. The ghost submarine wrecked me and got the sonar guy killed after which various circumstances made me put down the game. Is it as interesting after that?
Come the fuck on OP.
It's an example of how a game with minimal poly count and zero textures can still look good compared to a game with a million polygon budget and hi-res textures. A triple A-game spending millions on perfecting their greyish-brown battlefields is no match for someone using a few squares and triangles to do something interesting.

No, he means the exact opposite.

I wonder why bethesda turned their at least on paper, interesting world into such generic fantasy.

Well time to post.
I always liked the atmosphere of Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
the game doesn't look like this. use ps3 version screenshots if you want a higher resolution shot. this image is horrendous. emulators are still shit.
No no, he didn't turn on aggressive CRC, that fixes the BLOOOOOOOOOM problem.
I won't activate windows, fuck off.
Golden sun isnt a "beautiful, fantasy world" but the few artworks it gets in game are stunning
my nigga. I remember spending so much time exploring all the towns, even though I wish there was more to do in them.
I wonder whatever's happened to Goemon now that Konami has fucked everything up. I was watching some old GGCX episodes where Arino talks to the creator of the Goemon series.
