Sort of a spinoff thread from my Great Fairy Fountains post
EDIT: if possible, please link an embedded image so we can easiky see each place and we scroll so everything doesn’t have to be manualky searchced one by one 😅
The Site of Grace right outside the first Magma Wyrm boss, at the top of the cliff-side village in Elden Ring.
Good view, and there are some singing sirens down below you. It’s where I sit in my world while doing invasions, since you can’t queue for those in the Roundtable Hold (not even down in the lower part where Albrecht invades you which is weird).
Most of ghost of Tsushima, I love the Omni monestary
Pretty much all of the world of Hollow Knight — ie Hallownest. It’s just such a cool and immersive world. It contains such cool architecture, design, and environments.
Any hub world in the Spyro the dragon games. Summer Forest, Autumn plains, evening lake are some notable ones for me.
Skellige in Witcher 3 (minus the monsters). I can’t not stop to take in the sights. And the music is *chef’s kiss*.
Skellige is nice, but I prefer Toussaint:
You might enjoy the Any Austin YouTube channel, some of his Unremarkable and Odd places videos.
The city of Zeal in Chrono Trigger. Such a beautiful world if they could just ditch the magical racism
Minus the spirits I’d probably enjoy kicking around the island from Oxenfree.
The Citadel from Mass Effect
With this playing on repeat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLLbzwWam6g
Almost every single demon door in fable has some beautiful or aesthetic location behind it. My favorite is probably the Willow’s pick door or the Homestead in fable 2
The demon door in TLC by the pond in the Heroes Guild. I think this might have actually kickstarted my fascination with environment modelling…
What about the door where you’ve gotta get really fat?
Or the one you have to eat a bunch of live chicks in front of the door who wants to be repulsed
A twilight forrest with ancient ruins? Absolutely gorgeous! Even the sex dungeon and the cave have a picturesque beauty to them.
I always loved the Kokiri Forrest in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It’s so cozy, so quaint. I just wanna live there in real life, but with like internet and videogames and stuff.
Could I be a terrible pain in the ass and ask you to embed the link I found here? I want to try and get everyone to embed an image so its easy to browse them without googling each on
I’d drive around the desert in Interstate 76.
Orison in Star Citizen. One of the coolest cloud cities in gaming with some of the most amazing sunsets.

Edit: It’s hard to pick a picture that captures the experience (so I picked a few). A video is better, but actually being there in-game is a whole other level. Everything from the bars, food court, living spaces, shipyard and space port add to the experience.
I would go the the safari in Rimworld savanna. Don’t want my organs harvested though
The entire Planet Zebes. Just without all the monsters lol
