Why does this game looks so awful
It looks like a 2 man dev team dayz clone from 2013
the ui is absolutely atrocious as well

I suggest you get some glasses.

it does look like a disgusting blurry mess that runs at 720p even with the resolution slider maxed out at 1080p (1440p seems to make zero difference either). strangely the game started to look a lot better for me when i turned off the option that usually makes games look way better, Ambient Occlusion, distant field AO seems alright though

its also horrible anti aliased, but i cant live without it, theres just soo much shimmering from every object otherwise

It doesnt. Game looks great, your settings are low.

I think you have been playing Fap queen too long and comparing Atlas to that might be the problem? I mean it is listed as your favorite game.

Plays and looks fine on 1440.
Have you tried starting with Reset game resolution ?

The game looks great. Your PC must be crap.
I don't think ark looks bad...

Wow you must have one great little toaster you are playing on. Unless of course you are judging the game based on The Island or The Center maps. The more modern maps are anything but ugly with a PC able to run them on epic.

They guy is probably playing on a budget "gaming" craptop that's about 3 to 4 years old.

looks great on 1080p 240hz and 2k 144hz all max.

Havent even installed the game just looked at some gameplay and almost scratched my eyes out
This looks genuinely bad yall just coping
I guess it's a matter of opinion, but it looks good on my PC. While it's not perfect by any means, it doesn't look horrible to me either.

yeah only the 4k screenshots in the top rated screenshot section doesnt look like a blurry mess, and they are probably using nvidia/reshade sharpness filters ontop of that. all the 1080p shots look like garbage

edit: example https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2822688682
people seem positive on the comments but my god does that bloom look awfull, and the graphics both pixelated and blurry at the same time

edit: another blurry mess:

too bad only the top of the line computers are able to run this game at 60fps in 4k with the lack of dlss.

few years old but this kind of rig is not capable enough to run 4k/60fps, while in fact it doesnt even look like 4k to me at all, more like proper 1080p
