You Are Reading :10 Games Where Youll Get Distracted By Photo Mode

While there are some genuinely fantastic games all about photography, in games about anything but a photo mode ensures you can still take some stunning pictures. They allow you to snap a quick photograph of the action unfolding on screen, selfies of your favourite characters or simply just an amusing occurrence that you happen to stumble across. However, while most players will utilise the photo mode every once in a while, in certain games you’ll find yourself using it far more.

Driving down a busy road to get to the next mission may seem like a quick two-minute trip, but thanks to an in-built photo mode, it’s now become a one-hour excursion. Just quickly nipping to see what the view is like from on top of that hill? Well, get ready to strap in for a thirty-minute photo-taking session. From snapping a selfie atop the Empire State Building to posing humorously with a baby strapped to your chest, these are the games with the most distracting photo modes.

10 Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 may have had a rocky start, but one aspect of the RPG adventure that remains consistently great is its stunning visuals. The vast open world in which your life or death race-against-the-clock journey takes place is unbelievably beautiful. With multiple different and distinct areas for you to explore filled with complex designs and intricate details, it is unsurprising then that you’d be constantly distracted by its photo mode.

Its plethora of features ensures that you’ll be fiddling with photos for a seriously long time. The ability to toggle, slide and alter practically every aspect of what you see on screen is truly fantastic, and in conjunction with just how many photo-worthy sights there are in Night City, makes for a worthwhile experience in and of itself.

9 Infamous Second Son

Despite launching at the start of the PlayStation 4’s life, Infamous Second Son remains one of the best looking titles on the platform. Its jaw-dropping recreation of Seattle is breathtaking and makes for an incredibly enjoyable playground to cause as much havoc as possible. However, it’s the gorgeous lighting effects surrounding the protagonist’s superpowers that truly make the game shine.

At times, it feels as if Infamous Second Son was developed entirely with taking photos in mind. Its scenic landscapes, detailed environments and beautiful particle effects combined make for some genuinely eye-catching photos. With a number of editing options at your disposal, it’s likely that you’ll spend a decent amount of time in its photo mode getting the best out of your pictures.

8 Ghost Of Tsushima

Ghost of Tsushima has to be one of the best-looking games on the PlayStation 4. Its sprawling fields, forests and mountaintops that dynamically react to the weather and player make for some incredibly cinematic backdrops to an already movie-like experience. So, it is incredibly fortunate that it features a satisfying photo mode to capture some truly awe-inspiring images.

Just going from mission to mission is a danger if you want to avoid the photo mode. Anything from simply stopping to explore a newfound area to quite literally just riding your horse through a field of wheat will almost certainly result in a photo being taken. This is easily one of the most beautiful yet distracting games ever made, and as a result, it is very likely you’ll spend the majority of your experience in the delightful photo mode.

7 Death Stranding

Death Stranding’s world is somewhat unconventional. Its post-apocalyptic landscapes are riddled with terrifying creatures, remnants of a long-lost civilisation and bereft of any form of life outside yourself. And yet, its solemnity is filled with a natural beauty that easily makes it one of the best-looking open-world games ever.

As one of the principle philosophies behind Death Stranding’s design is to be as cinematic as possible – even going as far as to feature moments in which the camera pans out as the music kicks in – then it makes perfect sense that the environments you explore offer jaw-droppingly inspired backdrops for your adventure. Its snowcapped mountains and moss-covered ridges make for some truly impressive photos, and its intricate photo mode more than accommodates that.

6 Spider-Man

What would a Spider-Man game be without a phenomenal photo mode? The legend himself is a photographer, so it only makes sense that while you’re in his shoes you adopt his passion for the art form. Considering that it is from the same developer that brought you Infamous Second Son, it makes perfect sense that one of the highlights of this critically acclaimed adventure is the photo mode.

Climbing to the top of the highest skyscraper so you can snap a selfie to brawling with baddies in the streets of New York, there are a plethora of perfect moments to hop into the game’s photo mode. With a myriad of settings to tweak, and some truly scenic sunsets to pose in front of, it is fair to say you’ll be playing with the photo mode quite a lot.

5 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

While the photo mode in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate may not be the most comprehensive, it exists for a perfectly good reason: taking the funniest pictures of perfectly timed poses as possible. Simply put, there will be so many moments throughout each of your matches in which entering the game’s photo mode will result in some hilarious freeze frames.

Characters caught mid-punch, stuck in the ground, hurtling through the air or simply standing around staring at one another are all great instances of potential photos you’ll almost undoubtedly take while playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is oftentimes more fun to pop into the photo mode to see what kind of ridiculous pose you’ve caught your characters in than it is to play the game itself.

4 Final Fantasy 15

For all its faults, Final Fantasy 15 offered players one of the most compelling open-worlds to explore. Filled with fascinating locations, boundless forests populated by fantastic flora and a diverse range of dynamic biomes, there is plenty to explore in the world of Eos. While a lot of your adventure is permeated by photography in the form of Prompto and his plucky desire to photograph your journey together, the game’s photo mode offers a way to capture everything from your action-packed escapades to the quiet moments beneath a starry sky.

Noctis and the boys riding Chocobos across a sprawling field or Gladiolus smashing a robot with his gargantuan sword are prime subject matter for brilliant photos. Thanks to the game’s truly stunning visuals and exciting world, hopping into the photo mode to take such pictures is an extremely worthwhile and rewarding activity that results in some breathtaking photos.

3 Horizon Forbidden West

While Horizon Zero Dawn does offer gorgeous landscapes and a compelling photo mode, it’s the sequel, Forbidden West that has the best locations in the series. As is tradition with PlayStation exclusives, you’ll find yourself taking multiple photos throughout your adventure simply due to how absolutely astonishing Horizon Forbidden West is.

The crimson red blight that infests the game’s world beautifully contrasts with the game’s overgrown relics of an old civilisation to create truly vivid and vibrant backdrops. With the various poses and filters at your disposal, you can create some impressive images worth showing off.

2 Yakuza 6

Not unlike Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Yakuza 6’s photo mode isn’t terribly comprehensive. It offers a couple of filters and the ability to zoom in and out, which in all fairness is the basics you would want. However, the reason you’ll likely be so distracted by the game’s photo mode is for how hilarious Kiryu looks when taking a selfie.

Watching his supposedly older face grumpily squint as he tries to figure out how to take the picture is beyond priceless. It perfectly captures the goofiness of his character and further deepens the more lighthearted elements of this crime epic. The photo mode is also great for taking pictures of Yakuza 6’s ridiculously detailed world, but let’s be honest, Kiryu’s face is really where it’s at.

1 The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

While Breath of the Wild’s gorgeous landscapes that seem to stretch forever, bustlingly bubbling towns and hauntingly beautiful Hyrule Castle are absolutely deserving of having their picture taken, you’re more likely to get distracted by its photo mode for gameplay purposes.

By snapping a shot of the various enemies, items and flora scattered across Hyrule, you’ll add it to your compendium. Filling it up completely can be its own rewarding and extremely addictive mini-game, and will likely see it take up a large portion of your adventure.
