Blasphemous. Part 2 just released, btw

The Witness

roro ,

From a “unity 3d how to make a game in 3 steps” kind of perspective maybe…

bermuda ,

I don’t appreciate the snark.

The witness can be beautiful at times, although the colours can be overwhelming at times

Not an entire game, but the freedom ending in The Stanley Parable is truly beautiful.

Bastion from supergiant games, most of the game is hand painted, it gives a floating feeling, and given the game is on floating islands it gives really nice atmosphere.

On the other side, the art style of Katana Zero and Hotline Miami is dirty and distorted, but I really dig that style . Probably wouldn’t work with standing still part, but in motion they are works of art.

BearGun ,

most of the supergiant games tbh, hades and transistor both have some beautiful scenes as well.

Many of those already mentioned are great looking. I would add a personal choice, aesthetically pleasing for my taste: Dyson Sphere Program.

AttackBunny ,

Ghost of Tsushima for sure. I didn’t see anyone else mention it, which is a big surprise to me.

I really liked the look of Stray and Biomutant too, but they are a bit more on the cartoon side

People already said Horizon, which is my #1 choice, but I’m surprised I didn’t see anyone say Sekiro. That game is gorgeous. I’d often stop and look at the environment when I wasn’t killing people lol

    It’s also on PC and switch

    Journey

    Ico / Shadow of the Colossus / The Last Guardian

    No Man’s Sky

    AbelianGrape ,

    Second Shadow of the Colossus. The moments where you can just sit and look, coupled with the soundtrack, are some of the best in gaming history. Plus that bit of tension knowing what you’re about to get into…

    Second for Journey, it’s a master class in non-dialogue storytelling, and it’s just a beautiful game all around. I got introduced to it through its music (via a cover artist) and have fallen in love with the game.

    I think if you enjoyed the beauty in Hyper Light Drifter, then you will be entranced by Tunic. Bonus points for being one of the best puzzle exploration games of all time.

    Spiritfarer is very, very pretty as well. It is dripping it atmosphere and I often found myself just afk breathing it all in.

    AbelianGrape ,

    Not only is tunic beautiful; the experience is amazing. It’s even better if you try to solve the main optional puzzle as you go.

    Definitely agree that it’s one of the best.

    Taako_Tuesday ,

    Tunic is an amazing experience, I filled multiple pages of a notebook trying to figure out the puzzles, I wish I had more games that made me do that

    EremesZorn ,

    Sons Of The Forest is surprisingly detailed, but you don’t have much time to take in the sights and the foliage when there’s cannibals chasing you through the woods.

    My recommendation list is going to be a wild mix of different styles. Basically aynthing in my Games Library that I find visually appealing…

    • Gibbous - A Cthulu Adventure: While it isn’t my favourite point&click (that price goes to the Deponia Trilogy), it’s by far the most beautiful I’ve played up to now. The attention the devs paid to detail is astounding. The animations are perfect. In other words: A work of art.
    • Euro Truck Simulator 2: I might be an exception here, but to me the main selling point of this game is the scenery, not the trucks.
    • Elite: Dangerous: Most of the times this game looks utterly boring. Sometimes however, you catch an exceptional sight. Here’s a screenshot of an eclipse in a binary system, as seen from an icy moon of a gas giant (behind which the primary star is hidden).
    • Space Engine: Same argument as for Elite. Most of the stuff is boring. Sometimes you find an exceptional sight. Also, Space Engine isn’t really a game, but rather a “beautiful picture generator”, as there is no real gameplay as of yet.
    • Dwarf Fortress in ASCII mode: The ASCII “graphics” are a work of art on their own. Especially the animations. And the best part: The ASCII version can be downloaded for free, while the (imho less beautiful) graphical version costs money.
    • Pyre: A mix of Visual Novel and Sports Game. The backgrounds and characters are beautifully drawn.
    • Beat Hazard: The colours of the effects are stunning.

    Love that shot from Elite, nice work.

    Thanks! I caught it more or less by chance though. I was just scanning all moons in the system, and thought that landing would be a nice break from the scanning routine. And then this happened. It looked even better a few moments before, when the sun that’s visible in the shot was still partially occluded by the gas giant. Took me too long to fire up camera mode to catch that though…

    Outer Wilds has a lot of beautiful things to look at, whether it’s a planet or moon soaring overhead impossibly close, or something more cosmically spectacular. The music and sound design enhances the experience a lot too.
