Do you know instantly if a game is not for you as soon as you see the screenshots? Not talking gameplay here...just the look of it.

What draws you in or instantly turns you off.

Some things to consider are:

Comic book style

Anime

Retro - pixelated style

Realistic

Monochrome

Minimalist

Photorealistic

Hand drawn

Cartoon

Etc.......


As always, thank you to those participating in the Discussions. It's nice to know your thoughts!

The graphics in a game are just not the most vital component for me, BrownEyedTigre, but thank you anyway 😑

Realistic is my favorite but I enjoy a lot of the different styles.


It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

I'm open to most graphics (even though I do put down the pixelated ones). I have seen some games that don't look appealing to me though. I don't know what the description would be but to me they remind me of playing with paper cut out dolls or something. Maybe I'll post a game name or two when I get to Steam later. I've seen some recently.

I too am open to most graphics including the pixelated ones, although I don't care for anime, which may be my loss. Games that model themselves after the graphics of 1990s adventure games always catch my eye - games like Thimbleweed Park, for instance.

Those are officially known as Papercraft/Paper-Art Games.

Well, I may not be describing it right or I'm not sure what a Papercraft/Paper-Art Game looks like. I think I've enjoyed games of some paper type. I didn't find what I was looking for on Steam. I'll look again. Picture a stage with cut out people pasted on top of it.
