The best 4K games you've played?

Can't believe how good Tomb Raider is, just incredible, made for 4K. If you guys haven't tried it, I highly recommend it.

It is a looker and a genuinely great game to play, it is a shame that the Xbox one has a strangle hold on the new game for however long as it was a title I was really looking forward too! :(

Yes it is great, the graphics get better as you go along, no other game has impressed me so much, taking into account the age it's unbelievable. Least we know with Microsoft we have a better chance of seeing it on PC. After seeing this Tombraider in 4K I won't bother with the X1 version at all, call me shallow, but I'd rather wait.
 
GTA V and The Witcher 3 look ridiculous just downsampled from 4k. Almost like different games at times. Cant imagine how good they look on a native 4k monitor.

Basically, games that have a lot of fine detail, especially at distances, and suffer from IQ issues at 1080p, should look amazing at 4k. GTA V is a prime example. Tons of detail, large draw distances, aliasing and dithering issues. Or in the TW3's case, the foliage looks like it has totally improved assets at 4k because of the ability to discern the details. This is just downsampled 4k comparison(sorry for the big pics but they're necessary to see the full extent of the improvement:

Both shots corrupted, can you delete please? It isn't about posting screenshots, I can look at YouTube in 4K for that.

That's a problem on your end. Shows up fine for me on multiple browsers.

The screenshots show the monumental difference in image quality. Not sure what your problem is with that. If you can just look at everything in YouTube, then why even start the thread? Just go watch vids on YouTube. I was trying to give actual evidence of the improvement that can be had with the games I recommended.

Strange. I wanted peoples recommendations, then I look. Saves making a gigantic thread of screenshots. I've played both and they're good.

I gave recommendations. And showed what the difference is so you don't have to go and do the work yourself(YouTube isn't even the best way to compare with the compression).

Anyways, sorry for trying to be helpful.

Thanks for sharing, those were probably the first 2 games I tested :) I take people by their word, as the likelihood is I'll have the game ready to install, so I checkout youtube mainly for gameplay to see if the game is actually good, also you can get an idea how good the textures would improve.
 
Agreed with lots of the recommendations above, but particularly the Vanishing of Ethan Carter. It's just mind-blowingly beautiful in 4K.

I'd say that GTAV offers the best balance of gameplay fun with 4K though. The performance is pretty good.

I'm genuinely surprised at the number of titles that are 4K-ready, even some indie Unity games that scale up the UI/fonts pleasantly.

I'm going to checkout Vanishing of Ethan Carter's graphics, thanks.

I just completed GTA V before I went 4K unfortunately. Have tried it out and it does look good. Must admit Tomb Raider has impressed me more than GTA V, both gameplay/story and technically.

Just completed my first 4K game, what a classic Tombraider really is, I think it topples my experience of the Last of Us.

Just got a 73% completion rate and unlocked just 34% of the Steam achievements, I think I'll re-visit the Island at some stage :)

So pleased I hadn't completed this before 4K.

EDIT: I don't think I'll be able to wait for the PC version, probably get the follow up on the X1 now!

RYSE does look great in 4K but its a very uninteresting and fairly boring game IMHO.

Must admit, didn't like it on X1. After finishing Tomb Raider I've moved onto Wolfenstein: The New Order, a title not mentioned(apart from the guy who said any titles from 2014/15) as I love the gameplay, got pretty far before I upgraded my PC.

I've had to revert back to Windows 8.1 and forgot it wasn't Cloud save, but the beginning is so epic and I love the story it is a joy returning to it.

Awesome in 4K.

I think GTA V is most peoples favourite, I literally just completed it when I got my new setup. I've seen a new texture pack which looks awesome in the works too, will play through it again as it's so blimming good.

Had a go on Project Cars yesterday, just Karts as starting a career, I think a proper wheel is needed for this, something I'll look at getting in the future, looks great in 4K and not to demanding at all.

Metro 2033 Redux on the other hand is demanding, the FPS is all over the place, in places you don't expect, very poorly optimised game. I prefer Wolfenstein, then BF4 and the latest Modern Warfare, and that will be my FPS covered.
 
Since I've had 4k I've completed 2 games, which is unheard of for me. It just shows imo what it adds to any game, immersion wise.

Tomb Raider 10/10
Wolfenstein: New Order 8.5/10

Amazing experiences, think I'll move onto a non FPS again, maybe Mad Max. Tried the original Bioshock(which I've never completed) and that looks fantastic, maybe my next FPS.

Can't recommend 4k highly enough. It isn't just modern games that look amazing.
 
Stalker series, old games now and not the best example for 4K but 4K can give a few older games a new lease of life.
