What games make great use of volumetric effects?

I don't have examples handy, but the STALKER games are the epitome of this. Their models and materials look so outdated by now but the game still manage to look good because the lighting is fully dynamic.
Red Dead 2 is volumetric lightning the videogame
Can't wait to turn that up to Ultra with RTX on using a 3080 Ti in Summer 2020.

Hopefully the god rays are at a half decent resolution in the PC version.
I really like Breath of the Wild's implementation, as discussed by brainchild on the Breath of the Wild technical analysis thread. I'm impressed Nintendo got volumetric lighting working on Wii U, instead of using a post-processing effect like a lot of games still do.
Ha I was thinking of the same game, though I was thinking of the Cloud City mission
Metro Exodus
That specific room was the best looking area in Metro Exodus and also the lowest performing, for me. Nice one!
Ace Combat 7 is packed with volumetric clouds, which actually do a lot to give the maps (which would normally been pretty blank, because planes) a sense of meaningful geography.
FEAR was way ahead of its time.
Control makes extensive use of Volumetric effects.
And with the full RTX feature set on.
Is arguably the best looking game out right now...yeah the character models arent AAA but just walking through environment and it legit feels like a Nextgen experience.
I was always impressed by the volumetric fog in Silent Hill 2. Sometimes I would just stand there and just be mesmerized by fog.
Control again because more people need to know about this game.Ripping the stage apart and seeing all the Volumetrics going off is what doesnt suprise me that it brings base systems to their knees.

This shot is super impressive.
Once the PC version is out the screenshot thread is gonna be filled with this game.
Its already a powerhouse title on consoles.....the PC version should take things to the next level.....assuming its reasonably optimized.
And if it uses RTX....it just might take the crown from Control for tech triumph of the generation.
God of War
Yep, sony first party has used this effect to excellent use this gen. Not only gow, but spidey, uc4, grand turismo sport, and horizon all are outstanding with volumetric effects. Days gone is phenomena however, was impressed with how incredible the fog and early morning lighting looked in the game.
