Nope. It is 100% real.
Why does it look like a video game? Too many Instagram type filters or something?
Not the tornado but everything else, the buildings, the turbines, the hills and grass. All look fake as shite.

That's what I thought. I think many are watching on a phone but I'm watching this on a 44 inch PC/TV monitor and I'm telling you not all of this is real, no way. Looks like a very well done video game. Surely there is a computer whiz here that can figure it out......

It looks like a video game for two reasons:
1. You aren’t used to seeing 4k60 footage from a gimbal-mounted camera.
2. You aren’t used to seeing this sort of thing from a birds-eye perspective.
I’m not saying you’ve never seen high-resolution drone footage before; it’s just a quirk with how our brains work. We are conditioned to think “real” footage is supposed to look a certain way based on years of watching TV and lower-quality YouTube/social media videos. I think the biggest factor that makes it look fake is the smoothness of the motion, but that’s the point of 60 fps cameras. Most film and television you’ve seen throughout your life has been either 24 or 30 fps.
Anyone with an Apple TV 4K has probably had the same experience - watching the “aerials” screen savers and thinking “is this CGI?” It’s not. It’s high-resolution drone (or helicopter) footage captured at a very high frame rate, from a camera mechanically stabilized by a gimbal and probably further stabilized electronically. It looks fake at first but eventually you realize it’s just.. not.
