    Tbf we are already reaching diminishing returns with exponentially increasing the complexity of the game graphics (Polygon count) for some years now. For example, NFS Most Wanted 2012 still looks gorgeous to me to this day.

      Style > Graphical fidelity If a game has good style and design, it’s amazing how well it can hold up.

        Absolutely agreed. What are your favorite stylized games?

          I’m not the one asked, but the ones I can think of top of my head are Killer7, which had pretty cool gradient shaders and Borderlands drawn style.

            It definitely caters to the OG gamers. Really respects GoldenEye 007.

          Mass Effect 2 is my all time favorite mostly because the sound design and cyberpunk-esque take on the galaxy. Feels like Blade Runner and Firefly had a baby.

          I’m not the person you asked, but Katamari Damacy had a unique looks that still holds up perfectly, the only improvement to be made is using higher def textures for the later games and remasters.

          I think Windwaker still looks fantastic, and Windwaker HD looks as good as any recent release.

          Also, Hades is a more recent game with very stylized graphics that look absolutely stunning.

            I’ve heard numerous amounts of praises from Elysium, but somehow still couldn’t convince myself to try it. Great story, great OST, great artstyle. All I know is that it’s morally correct to pirate it.
