This week we've been jumping into the Xbox Series X version of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, and while it's been great to experience the game again, it's been just as satisfying playing around with the game's photo mode. Over our playthrough, we've managed to create some truly incredible images (if we say so ourselves) with very minimal effort.
Photo modes in games are almost a given these days. As graphics reach some photo-realistic levels of insanity, players understandably want to capture those jaw-dropping moments. Virtual photography is taking off in a big way, with shutterbugs conjuring up some truly impressive in-game photos that blow our minds every day. The tools in place make creating legendary pictures a breeze. We should know, we've captured quite a few!
Games these days seem to constantly be one-upping each other with more and more tools available. If you really want to, you can drop hours upon hours adjusting the aperture, messing with filters, and in some cases, adding additional elements to your photos. But which game would you say is the best example out there? It's a big question with obviously so many to choose from, but have any stood out to you as the best of the best?
Which game has the best photo mode in your opinion? Let us know in the comments below!

Just a personal unpopular opinion... Photo Modes are useless and get in the way of other features they could have implemented. I have never and will never use a photo mode in a game and i wish they would go away. I know a lot of you will say i am wrong or have a different opinion, and that is fine. I just don't ever use them.
I love a good photo mode and spent more time in that than actually playing through Hellblade.
The recent Assassin's Creed games (Odyssey and Valhalla) also had really good modes and you were able to get some really stunning shots.
I think my favourite game for Photo Mode was Spiderman - you were able to get some truly dynamic pictures with that (and create your own comic covers!)
Cyberpunk has a good photo mode. Shame about the rest of it!
Easy pick for me, Ghost of Tsushima. I usually only have a quick play about with photo modes but I spent hours messing around with this one. Absolutely brilliant.
Personally my favorite is No Mans Sky— solely for the reason that you might be taking a picture of something that no one else will see.
@Royalblues The entire series has great photo modes. I have some great snaps from even the first game. https://500px.com/photo/1022226578/colorado-fall-by-carlstjames
@OliverOwen I agree! I thought I was the only one that felt that way.
