PlayStation Plus has a ton of great games, and if you're a member of the Extra or Premium tiers, you can also access a lot more first-party titles and classics. Because of the sheer volume of its game library, PS Plus recommendations are common from people who want to know what to play (myself included).

Over on Reddit, people began to discuss what was the "most beautiful game on PS Plus," which led to a pretty interesting discussion about the best-looking games you can play for free with a PlayStation Plus membership. And while a number of games recieved shoutouts, there was one clear favorite in the comments.

What's The Best-Looking Free Game On PlayStation Plus?

Uncharted, Journey, Death Stranding Director's Cut, and Red Dead Redemption 2 were just some of the games recommended in the thread. And, yes, all of those games are beautiful. However, an overwhelming number of comments said Ghost Of Tsushima, the 2020 PlayStation exclusive that is available for free with PS Plus Extra or Premium.

There's no denying the game is awesome. ScreenRant even gave Ghost Of Tsushima a perfect score in our review years ago. And our reviewer praised the design and graphics, calling it "undeniably a beautiful game." And it seems like five years after its launch, a lot of fans still agree.

Pretty much everyone agrees Ghost Of Tsushima looks amazing. "One of the most visually stunning games I've played," reads one of the top comments under the original Reddit post. "Beautiful scenery and gameplay is great too," reads another.

Of course, Photo Mode in Ghost Of Tsushima only adds to the experience. "Gotta be Ghost of Tsushima if you're just looking to go around taking breathtaking screenshots," writes one Reddit user. And we're inclined to agree. A lot of folks here at ScreenRant have shared screenshots of the game with one another. It's just so pretty!

"Not only does it look and feel amazing - a good session can leave you in a really nice place mentally. The game is a dopamine generator," reads another top comment. And that basically sums it up pretty nicely. Even people who said they didn't like the gameplay were quick to praise Ghost Of Tsushima's look.

Honestly, I'd have to agree. Few games on PlayStation Plus look as great as Ghost Of Tsushima, and if you've never played it before, you definitely should. If you've got an Extra or Premium subscription, then download it now and thank all the folks on Reddit who've given it a shoutout.
