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.
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.
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
Both are nice. I love simple aesthetics prsented masterfully, but I have NEVER played a game that evokes the surreal and beautiful as well as Alan Wake 2 which is using technology to facilitate that
Seems like a solid place for me to plug Deadbolt to anyone that hasn’t played it. It’s made by the risk of rain guys with Chris christodoulou making another iconic soundtrack.
It plays a bit like if hotline Miami was a stealth sidescroller, using fluid motion to get in, kill the enemies, and get out as quickly and smoothly ad possible.
Everyone should give it a try, it’s one I consistently ignore new games for.
Disagree strongly. Pixel art almost always sucks. I play something like Stardew Valley and the whole time I’m thinking “This is a good game, but I wish it didn’t look like shitty blocky garbage”
Factorio is another. I used to love the Minecraft tech mods, loved Satisfactory etc, so I’m a fan of the genre, but when I try Factorio I lose interest within an hour because the whole game is an ugly brown pixelated mess. It’s so bad that it’s actually a barrier stopping me from enjoying the game.
