Abzu has a few moments like that, especially towards the end where you’re swimming through more and more densely packed environments.

loops OP ,

Thanks! The same publisher is working on Nivalis, I’ll definitely check that one out sometime.

Journey still looks pretty pretty.

Not sure whether it’s still enjoyable to play, since probably not many people are playing it these days.

loops OP ,

Mmm yess. Recently did a play through, and luckily I played most of it with a fellow pilgrim. IMO Journey will always be gorgeous. The graphics are perfectly balanced between realism, performance and art. To me, it’s a timeless classic.

sub_ ,

Oh wow, if it’s still possible to meet with online players, then I might want to replay the game again.

loops OP ,

Still possible! Go forth!

apotheotic ,

If you enjoyed journey for its beauty and the experience, I strongly recommend checking out their most recent game, Sky: Children of the Light

Overzeetop ,

Though exclusively single player, ABZU is also a nice, atmospheric game as well.

17 years on, Okami is still one of the best.

loops OP ,

Hell yeah. I love that game, but got stuck on the last block guard guy. :_(

Use a piece of paper :)

loops OP ,

Just gave me a flashback of my friends and I doing the same thing on a CRT lol.

That’s how these puzzles are meant to be solved and I won’t accept any other answer! Lol :D

Just picked up the HD remake and was thrilled to see someone made a mod to patch out the film grain and motion blur. I’m puking rainbows.

I came to say the same thing

Hollow Knight, if you’re not afraid of bugs.

theangriestbird ,

That first City of Tears moment is incredible.

datavoid ,

Music in this game is probably in my top 5

loops OP ,

I read recommendations for this game so often I’d be remiss to not try it at least once.

theangriestbird ,

it’s great! but it’s hard. if you don’t have patience for difficult platforming and/or difficult 2d combat, it might not click for you.

evilgiraffe666 ,

I think I got it on my third attempt. Though I haven’t actually finished it yet! Only 2/3 in and then something shiny distracted me - I’ll pick it up again soon. People described it as a soulslike, so after Elden Ring clicked for me I decided I would try the funny bug game again. Glad I did!

MrGerrit ,

I think getting platinum for that game on ps is my crowning achievement of my gaming career, I’m never going to able to do that again.

Can’t wait for silksong!

Factorio, I've never had another game keep me so focused I forgot the sun would eventually come up.

loops OP ,

I’ve given ~2000 hours of life to that game as well.

I really dig that art style, it's sort of the logical conclusion to things like Diablo 2 or Age of Empires 2. Something about the high fidelity 2D rendering of 3D objects from an isometric perspective is so aesthetically pleasing.

It feels more descriptive of the reality of the world and less stylized even though it's, of course, its own style.

YaxPasaj ,

Gris, it has an exceptionally good art. Great landscape, sound effects and the storytelling.

loops OP ,

Currently playing that game, and I fully agree.

The soundtrack by Berlinist is on Spotify.

ISOmorph ,

Sable. No fighting. Just exploring and getting immersed.

loops OP ,

That ones on my wish-list already, now it’s on my actual wish-list in my head.

clarfgg ,

Just a heads up the game kinda made my head hurt physically. The characters move at like 24-30fps while the background moves at a full 60 (or something >30, was not sure). It’s a stylistic choice which I can respect but I couldn’t get into it due to the stark difference in fps between the two which made it feel laggy.

theangriestbird ,

tbh my most recent one is probably Forza Horizon 5. I’m not really a “car guy” but nothing beats getting high and doing sick jumps over gorgeous natural landscapes in bodacious sports cars. Bonus points if your Ferrari has an anime girl spraypainted on the hood.

loops OP ,

A car of culture as well I see.

The Witness

I love how distinctive the art style is, but also how the gameplay rewards you for paying attention to the world and design.

Valdair ,

Transistor - really any Supergiant game, but Transistor in particular.

LazyToad ,

Ori, both of them.

Glide ,

Outer Wilds.

Really encapsulates the meaning of beauty a couple different ways.

Tetris Effect, particularly if you can play in VR.

Though if you’re strictly talking “aesthetically pleasing”, the options get wider. I absolutely loved the aesthetics of Hi-fi Rush. The absolute beauty of this comic-esque, cel-shaded world with every element, background and forground, moving to the rhythm of the soundtrack just blew me away when I started playing. But I’m a slut for rhythm games, so there’s just something about everything tiny fiber of the space connecting and syncing up that gets me.

smeg ,

Minecraft? Or if that’s too detailed, maybe Manifold Garden.

IRQBreaker ,

DayZ. Walking in the woods and hearing a deer in the distance or going up on a cliff and watching the sunset is quite serene.

Pat ,

Both Sludge Life games. A bit unconventional but I found a lot of spots in the games where I would just stand there and take in the various scenes going on. Both games can be beaten fairly quick but it took me hours to get through them because I kept stopping to just take in everything going on.

clarfgg ,

Only played the first but agreed, it was a nice little vibin’ setting. Makes sense because if I recall there was a lot of picture-taking in the game
