The Guardians of the Galaxy game was graphically demanding and had some relatively unique art direction, not sure it meets the "stylized" criteria though. Kena: Bridge of Spirits might fit the bill though I haven't actually gotten around to playing it. I've heard good things and from what I played it was optimized well and would serve as a good benchmark. Crash 4 doesn't have any fancy ray-tracing like Guardians but still looks great and would be a good test for a new computer. Spyro Trilogy as well though I think that's less demanding. Don't play Fortnite personally but it's free and they recently updated it with Lumen lighting so you might as well download it and try it out.

Fortnite with the recent graphics engine upgrade is one of the prettiest games out there IMO. It's a lot of fun just wandering around looking at stuff.

Frankly, graphical fidelity and unique art direction don't really mix. Since the most graphically intensive games are those trying to be true to life rather than in service of an art style, stylized games are generally much less intensive on the GPU. So I'll just list some very beautiful (3D) games, whether the art meets your criteria depends on you. Plague Tale: Either 1 or 2 but 2 looks better and has some beautiful sets Jedi Fallen Order Spiderman/Miles Morales Metro Exodus Enhanced God of War 1/2 Deathloop Chorus Far Cry 6 Elden Ring Ghostwire Tokyo Scorn (this one maybe fits better than all the others) Death Stranding Guardians of the Galaxy Arkham Knight Beam.NG Drive Mortal Kombat 11 Elden Ring These are all PC, Playstation has some pretty games as well but I don't have one e: maybe the Resident Evil Remakes/Village as well Play fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Feb 4, 2023 |

The new Spellforce 4x game is basically Age of Wonders, Heroes of Might and Magic, and Master of Magic put in a blender and spit out with a low price tag and high polish. Dig it.

Goddammit, finally got to play Half Life: Alyx and it's really loving good. VR is a pain in the rear end to set up, dries out my eyes and I don't really have a suitable space to use it but loving hell if it wasn't amazing being back in City 17.

To add to this for anyone interested, a couple years ago they made the entirety of the first Anodyne game open-source. Everything from the music and the graphics to the actual game source is available on github and free for use in any projects of your own, if you are a "paid owner" of Anodyne (which may or may not count when it's free? idk): https://github.com/analgesicproductions/Anodyne-1-Repo

They just took it all in, messed with the markers etc. Legit had to force myself to leave the balcony, drinking in the city and writing all over the window with the markers was pretty amazing. I don't know if it is programmed to always happen regardless of where you stand but almost getting crushed to death by a Strider leg was also a hell of a moment. I've gotten as far as the brain-damaged Vortigaunt giving me a snack for the road and I've been absolutely blown away by the detail. It kind of reminds me of back before Half Life 2 came out and some pictures of the actual city that inspired City 17 were revealed, and at first people thought that is what the game's graphics looked like, which was silly of course. Half Life Alyx the game's graphics actually look like that!

I would love to play HL:Alyx but my experience with it involves slamming my hands into my spinning ceiling fan and going "yeah maybe one day when I have a bigger home" lmaovictrix posted:The new Spellforce 4x game is basically Age of Wonders, Heroes of Might and Magic, and Master of Magic put in a blender and spit out with a low price tag and high polish. Dig it. I only played for about an hour but I can confirm that this game seems to be very good. Well-polished, lots of fun customization for your units, and most importantly this is one of those rare 4x games that doesn't try to be a balanced competitive game between equal factions, it's intended to be a singleplayer game where you compete with the world and environment more than equal-footing enemy empires with the same goals as you. For the price point it's an easy recommend though I can't speak for late-game longevity. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Feb 4, 2023 |

still most demos for Steam Next Fest seem to be hidden, though it starts on Monday. but I saw Darkest Dungeon 2 demo show up in upcoming with a "February" date, so that seems like it'll be a part of it. Teslagrad 2 will be a part of it as well, as I mentioned before e: looking on Twitter, here's some more: (bolding games that have been seen at E3 or Wholesome Games events) Planet of Lana The Last Case of Benedict Fox Sherlock Holmes: The Awakening (remake) Slopecrashers Pixelshire Arcadian Atlas Phantom Brigade Gestalt Steam & Cinder (it returns??? it's not vaporware??) Dad by the Sword (speaking of ex-vaporware, holy poo poo) Die by the Blade Mika and the Witch's Mountain Dark and Darker Mindhack Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara (Mail Mole developer) Bzzzt Zid Journey (sequel to Zniw Adventure) Wandering Sword Spiritfall Death or Treat Prison City RADIO THE UNIVERSE (wtf it's the "we're not vaporware" festival!!) and via an official trailer from Valve: Inkbound (Monster Train dev) I Wish Michael Phantomino Was Here Goodbye Volcano High Guardians of Gaia Xenonauts 2 Glitch Busters Mail Time Mahou Senshi Cosplay Club (Chroma Squad developer) Fake Heart Rushaway Bramble: The Mountain King Dungeon Drafters Ghostland Yard Trinity Fusion this is a much bigger banger Next Fest than October's The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Feb 4, 2023 |
