Many tech websites and outlets around the internet offer awards for outstanding achievements each year. For example, Digital Foundry nominated Horizon Forbidden West ahead of games like God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring in many categories, but for the first time it may have won an award in one of the categories. Horizon Forbidden West won the award for best visual and graphical experience.
We don't know why there were no such awards at the main event of The Game Awards to recognize efforts in graphics in general. Where did she participate in the nominations In addition to two PlayStation games, Gran Turismo 7 and The Last of Us Remake, with games like The Callisto Protocol, but unfortunately there are no games for the Xbox.
Looking at the nominees for this award, you'll immediately see that Horizon Forbidden West deserves it, not because of its stylized character models and smooth movements, but rather for its colorful world design and technical ray tracing and HDR capabilities without making major sacrifices in the frame rate. We also saw the best facial design of the year in my opinion.
A report has claimed that the game has the best NPC rendering in 2022 impressively (non-playable characters). We hope to see such accolades at the Game Awards. If there ever was such an award, do you think Horizon Forbidden West deserves it?
