Suggest some beautiful games. Genre doesn’t matter. 3d or 2d no big deal. Hyper Light Drifter, Satisfactory, Cliff Empire, etc.

Mostly I’m talking about moments in the game where you can just stand there and look at the world and not be bored.

Thankssss.

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

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.

Journey still looks pretty pretty.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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!

Subnautica.

Damn fine game, too, if you look past the engine bugs.

Subnautica legitimately made me stop and stare at my screen with mouth agape at the wonder and terror of a glowing undersea behemoth. I’ve never had a game provoke pure awe like it does.

The excellent sound design helps, too. :)

Subnautica is on a whole different level. They made some wild impressions with the first game.

Too bad they dropped the ball on “below zero.”

Was coming here to say this. Game is good, but the artwork and feeling of the game is amazing.
