From the cowboys to the catgirls, let’s jump into our favorite 10 games with S-Tier photo modes.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The Legend of Zelda has stayed strong in all of our hearts for years now as a staple of the industry. For me, it is definitely a comfort go-to and Breath of the Wild only solidified my feelings about the series. The world is expansive and absolutely spectacular, and players are STILL finding things. For those looking for a more animated vibe to a game’s open world, Breath of the Wild offers this and so much character to go with it. All of this can be captured majestically via screenshots, from the horses you tame to the high places you glide down from. Photography within the game is fun and adds to the overall experience as you separate yourself from combat or story-tackling to snap some moments.
Ghost of Tsushima
If this list was about the most visually appealing games and not the best in-game photography, this one would still be an entry. Ghost of Tsushima is a stunning title in every sense of the word, and there is no better way to express the game’s beauty than to share it while playing and experiencing it yourself. Thankfully, the game boasts a photo mode that features a variety of options, allowing players to add their own flair to each screenshot. The options are incredibly generous as well, from fiery ember effects to animations laid over your screen. Every game should look to Ghost of Tsushima for examples of how to offer players a good screenshot experience while also enabling them to make use of their own creativity to spice their photos up.
No Man’s Sky
No Man’s Sky started down a rough road but came through shining more brilliantly with each update. One of those updates, Path Finder, brought an elaborate photo-taking mode that allows players to show off their space-exploring experiences at any point. Yes, that means it could be used in the midst of the stars, or the depths of a cavern! It can also be used in multiplayer with friends. With No Man’s Sky’s photo mode, you can alter all kinds of different effects so your screenshot comes out the way you want it to. From the time of day to the filter overlay, it makes for a creative in-game photo feature.
Death Stranding
Have you ever played a game that felt more like a movie? Death Stranding is definitely one of those experiences, where the world and gameplay just fit together to make an immersive experience. The only proper way to really express how Death Stranding makes you feel while playing is to share the game’s imagery, and there is no better way to do that than to utilize the game’s own photo mode. With it, you will snap breath-taking scenes that leave you wondering whether or not you are really playing a game and not experiencing some sort of sci-fi realm first-hand.
