RANKED: The 20 most beautiful PlayStation games ever made

[Detroit Become Human screenshot]Sony PlayStation Video games have evolved a lot over the years, from the goofy polygonal graphics in the first "Metal Gear Solid" to the hyperrealistic games currently in development, like "Detroit: Become Human." But realism isn't everything — some of the most beautiful games ever released came out 10+ years ago, standing out instead for excellence in their overall art direction. Since the world of gaming is wide and varied, we're just going to focus on PlayStation exclusive games for now, which was plenty difficult enough. These are the most beautiful PlayStation exclusive games ever made. 20. "THE UNFINISHED SWAN" Sony "The Unfinished Swan" is a stunning video game that blurs the lines between fine art and entertainment. You start in a completely blank environment — as you throw dark ink on your surroundings, you'll slowly reveal the details of the landscape that surrounds you. PLATFORMS: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita 19. "KINGDOM HEARTS 2" Square Enix Though "Kingdom Hearts 2" isn't the most technically impressive game, Square Enix deserves major kudos for its ability to seamlessly blend "Final Fantasy" and Disney into one beautifully cohesive world. A third entry in the series is coming to PlayStation 4 in the next year or two that looks fantastic, but until then, we're happy to keep ogling at this now decade-old game. PLATFORMS: PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 18. "GOD OF WAR III REMASTERED" Sony The "God of War" series its known for its brutal action and over-the-top boss battles that draw from the imagery of Greek legend. The dark and gritty art direction is beautiful, in that grotesque, Quentin Tarantino way. Though the whole series is beautiful, the most recent entry stands out as something truly incredible to look at. That is, until the new "God of War" unveiled at E3 in June comes out. PLATFORM: PlayStation 4 SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDER
