Comparable to a "travel simulator"! Take stock of games with stunning scenery

The summer of 2020 is an unusual season. Although some countries have begun to allow people to go out and relax the restrictions imposed during the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, for most people, this summer is destined to be difficult to achieve. When players can't go out for an outing, many games can help you fill this gap. The Polygon website has compiled several video games for players that allow you to experience nature without leaving home.

"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild"

If any game can make players feel a sense of wonder, it is Nintendo's "The Legend of Zelda" "Breath of the Wild" is the best. This game has a shockingly huge world, filled with all kinds of explorable realms, and countless secrets waiting to be discovered. Many natural scenes in the game are inspired by reality, but players will also encounter many bizarre and bizarre creatures. In addition, you can also collect and learn about various mysterious new ingredients, cook and enjoy dishes, and solve interesting puzzles.

Of course, this game cannot be separated from the wonderful natural scenery, so it is reasonable to be included in the list. But more importantly, it's a reminder of the love for nature that stems from the endless curiosity it inspires, which is at the heart of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

"Eastern Garden"

"Eastern Garden" is a game about vacation sketching. In this setting, players will come to a pristine and pleasant island country and use easels and canvases to capture the beauty of the world. When your ship runs aground and sinks next to a strange island, your original plan is ruined. But the island is full of friendly residents, such as bears, owls, deer and monkeys, who will help you during your vacation. Now, vacation has become your only task.

"Red Dead Redemption 2"

There are countless animals and birds in "Red Dead Redemption 2", which is why I have not been able to clear the main plot so far. The reason... I was completely distracted by the wildlife in nature, including alligators lurking in the swamps and the pastoral dogs following me around the farm, wagging their tails. Although I also have the habit of observing birds in real life, the birds in the game are even more dizzying, and many of them can’t be found in Massachusetts! This summer is destined to be impossible for outings, so I decided to enjoy some new species in "Red Dead Redemption 2", which can be regarded as a kind of comfort.

"Death Stranding"

Hideo Kojima's "Death Stranding" tells the story of walking in the fictional United States. Of course, this continent is far from the United States we are familiar with in reality, and the atmospheric rendering is far from pleasant, but overall, the scene still looks lush and green, mostly in wild areas, and the game's challenges will also increase with the changes due to the surrounding terrain.

Despite some supernatural elements, the game is one of the most realistic hiking simulators in video games. Throughout the game, players will need to precisely control Sam Porter Bridges' body. Sometimes you will be carrying a lot of things and the boxes will be piled high, which may make you lose your balance and even make it difficult to move. There will be a struggle when crossing the deep end of the river and you will have to evacuate as quickly as possible before you are swept away by the water.

"Short Trip"

The best word to describe this game is leisurely. This game from developer Adam Robinson-Yu tells the story of a little bird hiking up a mountain. Although she didn't go there for fun at first, just to get a cell phone signal, she was in no hurry to reach the top.

Compared with other games, the Hawk Peak mountain in the game does not have a realistic photo-like style. On the contrary, the open world of "Short Trip" is more like a colorful pixel cartoon. But it feels familiar rather than fantasy, even though the characters are little animals.

"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt"

There is a video of "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" on Youtube. This is not a clearance video, but a powerful video shot in the game. Lun Forest, with some ambient noise and music added. The video is titled "Nap Time in the Velend Woods." The world around you is moving, but the camera always stays on a few trees. The sunlight passes through the branches and casts uneven shadows. The breeze blows the branches and leaves, and you can only hear the rustling of the wind and the chirping of birds.

"Sea of ??Wisdom"

"Sea of ??Wisdom" presents a lifelike underwater world.

There are many familiar creatures in this beautiful country, such as sharks, sunfish and octopuses. You can also find more things at the bottom of the divine sea. Like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Sea of ??Wisdom aims to inspire wonder and curiosity in players.

"Assassin's Creed: Odyssey"

The scenes in "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey" are gorgeous and full of vitality, and there are accurate historical details everywhere, making people traceable. The main character Cassandra is equally charming. When you experience the game, you will feel that the world is so lifelike that you may even forget the passage of time. You can stroll through the ancient Greek countryside, sail on the Aegean Sea, or hang out in the squares.

"Firewatch"

"Firewatch" is set in the wilderness of Wyoming, USA. The core element of the entire game is exploration. With a map and compass in hand, players can enter nature. There are many things in the game that players can get lost in, but unlike getting lost in the wilderness in reality, getting lost in this virtual world is not scary. Few games actually use maps and compasses to create a realistic navigation system, but this is the game mechanism of "Firewatch" and it is also its charm.

"GTA5"

The city where the GTA5 game is located: San Luodu is actually based on Los Angeles, USA. The game restores the real-world Los Angeles city to a great extent, which is the most representative city. The best thing is that Vinewood in the game is based on the Hollywood area in real life, and Morningwood is based on Westwood in real life. In addition, there are many classic landmarks. So friends who want to experience the style of Los Angeles in the United States can play GTA5.

"Marvel's Spider-Man"

I believe many players know that our cute little spider comes from Queens, New York, USA, so this "Marvel's Spider-Man" The game very realistically restores New York City. You can see many representative buildings in the city, such as the Empire State Building, Times Square, the Statue of Victory and even the Avengers Tower. It can be said that after playing the game, you really have It feels like walking around New York.

With the in-game camera function, every game screenshot can be used as a wallpaper.

"Uncharted 4: A Thief's End"

Naughty Dog has perfectly utilized the functions of the four princesses and brought the actual game screen to the level of photos. The natural environment and urban life scenes in the game are connected in an indescribable way. In just a few minutes, you can escape from the clutter of the bustling city and suddenly touch the natural ecology.
