Games with the best art style.

by redfoxbennaton

These games have proven themselves an artistic medium with art styles that I like. They can make a game age well beyond realism.

Metal Gear Solid

1. Metal Gear Solid

Shinkawa's art style is king. It did not need all the computers in the world to make an oppressive atmospheric environment. The angles conserve that power.

Final Fantasy VIII

2. Final Fantasy VIII

The environments and character designs are a huge step up from FF7.

Sonic the Hedgehog

3. Sonic the Hedgehog

Yes I like the Sonic art style. I love in fact. It's dynamic and comfortable. Taison's style. 06 and Boom are the worst styles.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

4. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

MGS4 is a heavy hitter. Not quite realism and not quite fantasy. MGS4's environments are full. The characters are tall and big for the HD screen.

Persona 5

5. Persona 5

Persona 5 has a nice Anime world with quirky characters

The King of Fighters

6. The King of Fighters

King of Fighters franchise is full of life in every frame. With fluidly animated sprites feel so revolutionary.

Jet Set Radio

7. Jet Set Radio

Do you understand the concept of love?

Viewtiful Joe

8. Viewtiful Joe

However Viewtiful Joe is more up my Alley as far as Cel shaded games.

Ōkami

9. Ōkami

Okami is everyone's favorite video game. Artistically.

Metal Slug

10. Metal Slug

Metal Slug is just brimming with life in it's cartoony anime warzone full of grit and animation.
