Has there been a game this gen that made you think "I can't believe this was accomplished on these consoles"

I swear it doesn't hold the framerate perfectly. In Meridian especially, though in some fights I sensed what seemed like slight framerate drops. This was on a base PS4 though. Still impressive given how nice it looks.
Yeah I almost forgot how crazy the spectacle is around you while you are playing. Titans fighting Gods in the background while you are fighting mobs. There hasn't been a game since with so much background bombast. And it was running on PS3...
Breath of the Wild on Wii U is pretty nuts. The size of the game, interactivity, physics, systems. Just the whole package. To think a game on last gen hardware revolutionized the way I look at games today is pretty extraordinary.
For visuals alone, I found Days Gone and Uncharted 4 extremely impressive.

RDR 2 is just astounding for six year old hardware, that wasn't really state of the art at the time.
Uncharted 2 when you get to Libertalia still floors me.

Crysis 2, despite all its faults, seemed amazing at the time on a 360.
Also, I was surprised at base X1 graphics for RDR2.

I can't stand The Order 1886. I finally got around to playing it last month for the first time after years of seeing beautiful screenshots, and while it is indeed a looker, there's just something that strains my eyes when playing it in motion. My eyes constantly felt like they couldn't comfortably focus on any particular thing. There's some blur, bad DOF or some other shit going on that makes it so unpleasant. I've never experienced it with a game other than this one.
EA Battlefront, remember the E3 reveal, and the comments "Not possible"?

Horizon Zero Dawn and Red Dead Redemption 2. The latter especially looks photorealistic so many times I was really, really impressed.
The Order: 1886, Driveclub, Death Stranding, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Forza Horizon 4, God Of War, RDR2 all qualify.
But this, at a 60 FPS target...
Goddamn Capcom, you fuckin' wizards. Oh, and REmake 2 as well.

Really?
I've lost count on how many games were impossible to run on Switch and then BOOM! A decent to great port is released.
Last one was The Witcher 3, wich i myself thought it would be impossible to get running.
Last-gen had GTAV for me. The visual fidelity , scope, physics, of that game was absolutely incredible. It is still impressive today. Did you feel this way about a game last-gen? What about this gen?
Dude you chose an xbox 360 game.
Of course it's going to run on a PS4 and be better in every way.
Edit: I can't read. Mucho apologies!

As someone with a base PS4:
Horizon zero dawn initially.
God of War impressed me as well, but wasn't as grandiose as GoW 3 so that affected my perception slightly.
Red dead redemption 2. Hands down the best looking thing out there. Some linear AAA quality in a fully open world.
On a sidenote: I am enjoying DMC V, it can look good at times but it's too inconsistent and not all that great. At least on a base.

The Outer Wilds was literally the only time this gen that I thought a game couldn't have been realized on last gen platforms. Sure, other games would look much worse on last-gen, but gameplay wise they wouldn't be particularly different. Outer Wilds on the other hand just constantly does things that I wouldn't have thought possible last gen.
Horizon Zero Dawn. I'm not easily impressed and that game made my jaw drop. Even the most high-res screenshots don't do it justice.
In term of fooling my brain into thinking what I see is real people. It's Die Hardman cutscene near the end of Death Stranding.
Yeah, on most of the PS4 exclusives that I played I was wondering how is this possible on this hardware.
The Order 1886, Uncharted 4, GT Sport, Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Spider-Man, etc.
As a PC gamer the first games that gave me the impression that they are really more impressive on PC than these console games is Red Dead Redemption II and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

No man's sky PSVR, the full game in VR.
I never deemed that possible. It is beyond my wildest dreams that this is possible.
Sure at a cost, but an amazing feat nonetheless.

Portable Skyrim is the #1 reason why I bought the Switch.
Ended up playing mostly docked but I still shock myself every time when I lift that thing up "Oh damn, it does still work like that... damn".
Nowadays a lot more games are added to the library and it makes me want to respond with the meme "Wait, that's illegal". But Skyrim was the first.
On the pure home console side, what I also call the desktop side, there has been nothing that I thought was innovative and is probably the reason why if it wasn't for the Switch, I wouldn't (or rather, still wouldn't, since I skipped the entire last generation as well) be playing games.
But the new Half-Life looks cool, but I don't consider that accessible with it's price point and hardware.

No Man's Sky is a good mention. True, it is not a graphics powerhouse. But getting in your spaceship, launching into space, and then traveling to another planet
is amazing. Especially inVR.
red dead redemption 2 but it's Rockstar. not sure how they managed to get V running on a PS3. not dumbed down physics as someone said LOL. driving/physics were improved.
breath of the wild running off a switch with just battery power.

Horizon looks great, but there are many apparent sacrafices they had to make to get it to look that good. Such as foliage and water interactivity, and some pretty agreesive pop in. I think red dead was ultimatley more impressive for A.) being native 4k on xbox one x console hard ware, and B.) its sacrafices to achieve this dont seem nearly as big as horizons. I even think it looks just as good if not better than horizon in all cases
