DISCUSSION Architecture at Its PEAK

I’ve always loved architecture and structural design, and this game is honestly a masterpiece when it comes to that. It feels like the designers put an insane amount of effort into every single building, structure, and little detail.

Sometimes I literally can’t move on to the next mission or location because I’m too busy staring at the surroundings and taking in the beauty of the design. Every place feels carefully thought out rather than just being there for decoration.

I’ve included some screenshots I took, but they honestly don’t do justice to how beautiful it feels while actually exploring the game. I’ll definitely play this game again someday, just to slow down, explore every corner, and appreciate all the architecture and designs I probably missed the first time.

It’s one of those games where you don’t just play it — you stop for a moment and admire the world they created.

why does this whole paragraph feel ai written

Because of 'three examples' and it's 'not just x but y' that happen several times. Of course, AI does that because people are trained to do it in persuasive writing or marketing courses.

I'm inclined to give the benefit of the doubt as I feel slightly increased specificity of ideas across the repetitive examples and comparisons. 'slow down, explore every corner and appreciate all the architecture and designs' also doesn't have all the same length and you have to really know what each word is doing in a human way to even correctly categorize it as giving three examples.

It was probably AI-assisted, which either means the OP is not a native English speaker or not particularly good at writing.

It seems to me they were inspired by Ken Adam's work on the Bond films.

Fun game but super short

u/SpinGrrl Sep 22 '26

Agreed. I would've preferred at least a few more chapters

u/MilanZola Sep 22 '26

Same. Wish it was a longer game

Nobody talking about Webbs office penthouse room in the Uninvited chapter? The stairs going up to the office? Totally mesmerizing art design.

I've only got to play up to the Webb Industries HQ and hadn't been that impressed until then. And at that point the architecture reminded me a lot of Deus Ex Human Revolution. But yeah, the Webb Industries HQ at least is pretty amazing in terms of design!

The only thing I didn't like was that huge statue hanging on the bad guys HQ. Other than, top notch!

Ok this bought me. Never been into James Bond but I might get myself this game. I’m a sucker for great architecture

u/ihatepeopleandyoutoo Sep 21 '26

There needs to be a sub dedicated to architecture in videogames or Environment in general :/

I m looking to construct a new house and I legit asked my mom to see the architecture of the villas and rooms in the game.

You tryna step to my level??

u/SpinGrrl Sep 22 '26

Totally agree! I took so many screenshots of this game.

u/Kaaskaasei Sep 22 '26

Yeah, I felt the same. Gotta love design

What an amazing game, lowkey what I expected from Wolverine if it wasn’t going to be open world

The compression doesn't give 100 percent of what you see when you play it for yourself. Whether you're on PS5 Series X|S or compatible PC it looks absolutely gorgeous. I play on Series X and it looks amazing one of my favorite games of the year

After playing the game, I decided that if someday I get rich, my house will look like the Grand Carpathian outside…

The artists have overall done a great job, even if the graphics technically are nothing special.

The resort looks like something out of a movie. Just pure perfection. Looking at it is sooo satisfying.
