When it comes to visuals, Death Stranding appears to have knocked it out of the park. We noted in our review of the unique PlayStation 4 title that the graphics are outstanding, and the tech heads at Digital Foundry concur. In its breakdown of the game's technical performance, it's come away mightily impressed with the game, calling it a "new benchmark for this console generation". This isn't a huge surprise, considering the title runs on a later version of the engine that brought us Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Digital Foundry draws attention to the image quality, attention to detail, and animation when discussing the high points of Death Stranding's presentation. Character models are also highly praised; eyes avoid the uncanny valley look that plagues a lot of modern titles. With checkerboard 4K, HDR, and a huge draw distance, it sounds like the PS4 Pro delivers a top of the line visual experience. Frame rate seems almost completely locked to 30 frames a second, although it will apparently dip slightly below that during certain cutscenes. Hopefully the standard PS4 can hold up its end of the bargain, but we imagine it'll be similarly impressive.
