What's up with brightness and contrast? Everything is dark.

Everything is super dark in Odyssey compared to Horizon (see below).
In the bottom image I set gamma in Odyssey all the way to the right and can't get even close to how Horizon looks with gamma in the center.

Is this happening to you as well?

Yeah, game looks terrible, contrast seems to be jacked up to 11 and there doesn't seem to be a way of dialling it back.

I've solved by enabling HDR systemwide on windows. Basically the issue is they apparently tuned it on HDR displays but didn't bear in mind to put some option for those who don't have HDR.

Below is how it looks now with gamma in the default position.

Hmm, interesting... wondering how it looks in other scenes and environments.

The trouble with the new lighting system is that it looks quite good in some places and quite bad in others.

But unfortunately, it doesn't fix the HUD being too dark.

How did you enable HDR?

By the way, it seems not everybody can do that. I don't have that option to choose HDR like you have. Seems like there are a couple of requirements like the supported display, graphics card, etc.

Yes other games will look differently because unless they have an HDR option inside the game and in some cases you need to have HDR on systemwide otherwise it won't detect HDR (Days Gone or Cyberpunk 2077 requires this). Other games like doom will detect HDR anyway and will switch only when you launch it.

And yes, you need an HDR display to have that option in Windows.
So for all those who don't have an HDR display they will have to deal with the broken gamma until they will fix it.

It's broken - there's a breakdown of what's going on from a gfx pro floating around here somewhere (not the one about culling - that's something else that's broken)

Yes it has given me quite a bit of eyestrain over the last few days. I've managed to somewhat correct the gloom with Reshade but have more sharpness than I'd prefer as a consequence but at least I can see what I'm doing.
If I released my own final work in this condition I'd be ashamed.

I did enable it system wide (not on elite)
You can enable HDR on display settings in windows 10.
Apparently they adjusted the settings with this option turned on.

Apparently I can't activate it. The option isn't there, and it says "no" in display capacities. But it could be that I do'nt know how to activate it.

I'm sad now.

your display (monitor) must have HDR, you can check that by going to dxdiag and under Display you will see if your Display (monitor) supports HDR.

Yes, it does support HDR.
But the settings did not help anyway.

I guess it's for FDev to fix it.
