10 Video Games With Unique Art Styles You Need To See – WhatCulture


In modern gaming circles, it’s easy enough to pull a handful of titles out of the air for their beautiful graphics and realistic visuals. Just look at Uncharted 4, Forza Horizon 4 or Red Dead Redemption 2 as examples that push our high definition TV’s to their limits.

Yet that doesn’t mean that games that don’t strive for that level of fidelity are any worse for it, or not worthy of our time. Far from it.

As the saying goes, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” after all. But that doesn’t mean that looks alone can carry a game either, for gamers are not just shallow creatures.

We’ve come a long way over the last few decades, as these examples will show you. Whilst not in chronological order of release, you’ll see what are “time capsules” of different styles through the decades. There’s the art of cel shading, both minimal and bursting with colour, to even incorporated in a playable comic book of a spy thriller.

There’s the bleak yet beautiful from Playdead, as well as a few more indies that just wanted to buck the trend of AAA big budget looks.

Now of course, these are going to be subjective, but there’s no denying the visual appeal that the following games ooze.
