The developers for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II did not use updated or latest technology to super-ify their graphics. As per Deep Silver, the developer studios of this game Warhorse Studios, are using CryEngine, their earlier 3D gaming engine that they are already familiar with. Nevertheless, critics have been seen praising the in-game environment, realism and depth of the in-game world, providing a depthful immersive experience. As stated by TechRadar, the game has close to no fantasy elements (i.e., magic) and is heavily reliant on core medieval mechanics. The immersive experience goes as far as your stew bowl emptying spoon by spoon, in real time.
Red Dead Redemption 2

Released in 2018, this game lives up to the current day expectations even better. After almost a decade, Red Dead Redemption 2 looks better than most games of today. On the contrary, Kotaku has noted the NPCs from this game look rigid and blank but they have their own schedules, individual temperaments (even horses) and they also remember their previous interactions with the player. The Guardian has stated that the game has sold more than 17 million copies in the first two weeks solely.
Watch Dogs 2

Beginning with, this game has smartphones, security cameras, vehicles, stuff like traffic light that are hackable. Yes, CNET confirms it. The graphics for this game are extremely well built for a game released in 2016. Similar with the other two in the list, Watch Dogs 2 does a pretty good job at being on par with the latest games with high graphic settings and dynamic world environment, this is also mentioned by The Verge. Furthermore, as you progress in the game, missions provide elements of environmental manipulation giving the essence of an unscripted part of the game. Like life is. The game developer, Ubisoft Montreal has regained player trust from the disappointment for the first part of the game. The multiplayer part as well is randomized in a sense that you wouldn’t know when you are the heist itself or a part of it with your friends.
None of these three games are new. Yet they hold up better than most of what came after them. As I played, spotting these small realistic touches felt like finding easter eggs. Realism is not the whole appeal of any of them, but it is what keeps players like me looking closely.
