Cyberpunk and Control are both great examples - both games are full of reflective surfaces and it shows. Getting a glimpse of my own reflection in a dark office is awesome, as is tracking enemy positions from cover using such reflections.

    I have only ever seen Cyberpunk in 2k res, ultra graphics, ultra widescreen, ray-tracing and good fps at a friend's house and it does indeed look nice. But in my opinion there are too many reflective surfaces. It's like they are overdoing the reflectiveness on every object just because they can. They could have done a better job at making it look realistic.

    For any other game, I'd agree, but cyberpunk being full of chrome is an aesthetic that predates the video games by a fair margin, haha.

    My problem is more with wet surfaces and the likes. Walking around the city it feels like every little water puddle is mirror and a spoon can also reflect way too much. I don't mind shining chrome body parts.

    Oh, they are definitely intentionally overdoing it since 90% of said reflective surfaces are ads, often reflecting other ads in there. The game is such an assault of advertising that I've found myself minding the advertisements in RL public spaces a lot more less.
