Valhalla is ridiculously beautiful for a game of its size. The lighting is leaking from time to time, but who cares if it can be played on a handheld and looks like this 99% of the time!

IDK about you, folks, but thanks to @discomode I'm playing Infinity Nikki — a gacha game where your powers are in your dresses. And yes, I'm a pink-hair waifu.

And I like it...

UPD: What the heck, the game is actually a FIFTH iteration of a huge dressing franchise, popular in Asia (and called Nikki Up2U).

Radiance Cascades Global Illumination (the one that will probably be a part of the upcoming Godot solution, mixed with their Voxel-based HDDAGI).

The initial solution of Radiance Cascades for 3D lighting was created by Path of Exiles 2 developers. And by Alexander Sannikov, who posted his experiments for the last couple of years.

But this one runs even on a phone. And it's beyond screen space!

Honestly, I'm impressed with artistic choices, but the art director of Infinity Nikki definitely deserved his role!

It's Unreal Engine 5 and RTX Accelerated version of Lumen lighting system.

There is even their official interview about switching to Unreal Engine: https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/developer-interviews/behind-the-scenes-of-infinity-nikki-tracing-a-glamorous-turn-to-an-unreal-open-world

The trick is: they haven't just adopted the engine, their rendering developers recreated lots of features, like Order-Independent Transparency (OIT). Imagine, that folks can do rendering in a gacha about dresses, but AAA games are all using the default UE.
