Video Game Art

Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

  1. All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
  2. Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
  3. If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @[email protected] to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
  4. MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
  5. No generative AI art.

Absolutely stunning game. I feel like I could show it to my parents, who are pretty sceptical of video games, to convince them otherwise.

My only complain is that it didn't run in 4K on my PS5, even though all sources say that it should. Does anyone know anything about this?

Also, any game recommendations for someone who enjoyed GRIS?

Journey, Abzu, Flower maybe. My friend and I are always looking for these pacifist, the-journey-is-the-goal type of games

I played Journey but never heard about the rest, definitely will check them out. Thanks!

Definitely absolutely play The Last Campfire, its like being read a bedtime story in the absolute best way.

Others already mentioned Journey, Abzu and Flower, but if you enjoy Journey do give Sky: Children of the Light a go. Same devs, similar design philosophy, but with a heightened focus on meeting players and creating memories.
