Half life 2

Warframe. They got it running on mobile, and it looks absolutely gorgeous. I myself ran it for a few years on a shitty graphics card that could barely run minecraft with a texture pack.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 days ago

Warframe is really impressive.

They toned down the ass in the legendary edition unfortunately.

Even 2016 and Eternal have pretty moderate requirements for their fidelity.

Obligatory Hollow Knight mention

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 days ago

A lot of older 2d games can run on a portrait potato and the artwork holds up excellently.

RC2, civ 3, Anno 1602, sim city 3000, AOE2.

Looking good is about artstyle more than realistic graphics for me so most pixelart games.

[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Tloz minish cap
Donkey kong country 1,2,3
Super mario world

[–] GalacticSushi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

SNES had so many fucking bangers. Playing through Kirby's Dream Course again.

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 18 hours ago

KDC MENTIONED!! Best golf game ever made

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Super Mario World is a game that shows artistic design outlasts everything else. That game still looks and plays amazingly.

But I think the real issue is "looks good" is very subjective.

The water is really incredible. Makes me wish to go to the beach, makes me feel good, and makes me thirsty.

It’s Lies Of P - they left it in the image file name.

lots of really good pixel art: Celeste, hyper light drifter, dead cells, etc

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Chiming in to say Sea of Stars. Absolutely gorgeous pixel graphics and music, and a true love letter to old school JRPGs. It gave me nostalgia for something I didn't even know I lost.

Graphically I'd have to say either Broke the Investigator or Corn Kidz 64.

One, as someone described in a plauthrough video, looks like a Saturday morning cartoon. The other, I think nails that old 90s 3D somewhat stylized video game look pretty well, IMO.
