A little over three months since release, Far Cry 5 finally has a photo mode. I had issues with the game, but its sprawling, coniferous forests and beautiful Montana sunsets were not among them. A photo mode feels like a no brainer.

Unfortunately, the rest of this update serves more as a reminder of everything still missing from the game.

Finally, Kratos can crack a big smile.

Recently we asked you to send us your best photo mode snaps, and holy crap did you deliver! We had a plethora of beautiful entries, and even though we could only choose one winner, we thought we would also share some of our other favourites.

I love Photo Mode and how it has increasingly become a fixture in games. PAX Australia even had a Horizon Zero Dawn Photo Mode exhibition this year.

I dig it so much that I thought - why not run our own in-game photography contest and give away a brand new Huawei Mate 10 as the prize?

Yes? Yes.

Super Mario Odyssey has tons of worlds and memorable sights. Thankfully, the game's snapshot mode allows players to take pictures of their favourite memories or create bizarre pieces of modern art.

Horizon Zero Dawn already has one of the most robust photo modes out there, but a patch landing next week is going to expand on its functionality even more.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a beautiful game on its own. Add an extensive Photo Mode and a creative player base and it becomes an art engine, generating an endless array of eye candy. Here are some of our favourites.

Shadow of Mordor is the kind of game that really knows how to seduce players with its ultraviolence. But it's not just the game. People playing it have been using its nifty photo mode for increasingly elaborate purposes. The most creative I've seen is using the photo editor to create surprisingly moving short films.

Shadow of Mordor gave its players some nifty new ways to capture and edit screenshots yesterday. Judging by the wealth of snazzy images that have popped up online since then, gamers seem to be having a lot of fun with it so far. Here are some of the best I've come across. Enjoy.

What's better than ogling buckets and buckets of orc gore in Shadow of Mordor? Spiffing up those same heaping piles of gratuity with Instagram-esque filters, you say? Well, if you actually did say that, then boy do I have the thing for you.
