Looks at fancy almost photorealistic game with beautiful graphics and a complex storyline that cost tens of millions to make yeah imma go play minecraft
I’m so bored of pixel art games. There’s plenty of standouts but more often than not, they look like…everything else. It’s so hard to make a unique aesthetic when you’re literally limited on pixel count.
I think they’re as are as popular as they are because you can make an awesome game on a low(er) budget so there’s more awesome games out there. But as it stands, I need to hear some really good things about a pixel game to get me interested because the aesthetic itself is a turnoff for me.
Blasphemous was the first pixel game that jumped in my head for really outstanding art. Wild character design, and the kill animations are unique and brutal.
It’s like they saw what castlevania wanted to be and blew it out of the water.
In my honest opinion, one of the worst things you can do in a game is try and make a realistic-looking person. All of the games who have stylized their art have absolutely lived on in history as great games that are still great to play today.
Maybe pixelart adjacent? The textures are clearly chunky as is the foliage and many other transparencies. It’s a 3D world but so is Prodeus and Dead Cells. Both use pixel art masking (not sure what it’s actually called) to make it pixel like. Dead Cells is more pixel art than Prodeus but they both bend the rules of pure pixels compared to Terraria. And I like that!
Pixels or not, valheim is so beautifully atmospheric! It’s like morrowind and studio ghibli had a baby and named it Baldur. I have a home in each biome that I rotate through just to experience their unique beauties.
You should should absolutely go back and try it again, the Mistlands and Ashlands are so well designed. I find the swamp is easiest if you take it slow and use the hoe to build roads through the muck. Serpents can’t catch the iron tier boat unless you fight the wind and they’re not really worth the hassle to hunt unless you really want their head for decor, normally if I see one I just detour to wherever the wind takes me until they lose interest.
I tried OSRS as someone that’s never played RuneScape before and I gotta say, the pretty polygons are one of the main reasons I kept playing and had fun. pretty world doesn’t have to be 100GB
