TOP 10 VIDEO GAME SUNSETS

Amid the many graphical advances seen in gaming in recent years, the sunset must be one of the most iconic and prevailing. 

Indeed, it's becoming increasingly easy these days to get absorbed by a sunset, and forget what you're actually supposed to be doing in a game.

From Assassin's Creed to Far Cry 4, we'd argue that sunsets have come to define the current generation of gaming. Here we run down our top 10.

10. JOURNEY
Picture
Just see the way the Sun Lord's citrine rays refract off the procedurally generated sand grains. So gold. So magnific. So gloaming.
9. GRAND THEFT AUTO V
Picture
As the sun collapses upon San Andreas, so the lights go on across the city. Behold the waning of the Sun Lord's power. Bow to him. Praise him. Exalt his crepuscular rays.
8. OUTRUN
Picture
We drive towards you, oh Sun Lord. Stipple us with your ebbing compassion. We bid thee farewell until the morn, when thou doth blossom once more.
7. MINECRAFT
Picture
Oh, Sun Lord, oh gracious emperor of flame, oh twilight jewel... why must you go once Moon Boy rises? Is there not space in the firmament for you both?
6. THE WITCHER 3
Picture
From flavescent chrome to orchid pink, why do you blush, oh Sun Lord, oh fiery monarch of the day, oh massive welkin czar, the captain of our heart?
5. RED DEAD REDEMPTION
Picture
The amber, the blonde, the canary rays of the Sun Lord bring us sweet repose. The Sun Lord sees all. The Sun Lord is all. Praise Him! Praise be to the blazing empyrean eye!
4. CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE
Picture
Sun Lord, oh Sun Lord, you scalding, cyclopean coin. Oh, how fickle you become. From life to death, you fart out broiling fingers that wrap and swaddle. Clutch us soundly to your atomic bosom, oh doughty aurulent drum.  Embrace, embrace, embrace...
3. FALLOUT 4
Picture
We bid thee adieu, oh Sun Lord. But hold, as we exhale the vaporous clouds of joy. For we know we shall meet once more, at the cleft of dawn, as the cockerel cackles and struts in salute to your noble forbearance. 
2. WORLD IN CONFLICT
Picture
Burn us, oh Sun Lord, for we are not worthy to lick your balls.
1. MISSILE COMMAND
Picture
Farewell, oh Sun Lord, for the cruel and mischievous Moon Boy is here to steal away our virtue. Praise him. Praise the Moon Boy. Praise the silvery midnight tart.

This one from King of Fighters 96 is a winner. Looks delicious. Even easier for people to enjoy when there aren't trash-talking dweebenheimers noising the place up with their violence tournament, too.

I'm absolutely livid, at least two of those are sun rises.

The Out Run one looks less like a sunset and more like one of those Australian forest fires.

That Journey sunset is stunning. I get goosebumps just remembering when I first saw it.

Looking out over the river through Dunwall at dusk was a mighty Purdy moment in Dishonoured.
Well worth a £500 graphics card and 1440x1560 monitor. cough. Erm......
