I remember that one. Wasn't it in Venice?

Echo has these incredible pieces of art that are just amazing to look at

But then most of the game just looks so fucking assy its whiplash every time it happens

It's also got Adam who is unfathomably based.

We need more Virtual Boy-esque monochrome with more black than colour.

yep, one of the stories happens in Venice. It's a very interesting game, directly adapts Poe's stories and has the option to experience then either as the assassin or victim.

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne has a unique art style, but it was used in other megami tensei games like Digital Devil Saga and the Raidou series with modifications. Personally, I think it suits Nocturne's vibe very well, actually it helps create that vibe.

I love the cel shading of the original NMH.

First game looks like Yoshi's Island's title screen.

Second reminds me of Jumping Flash.

 

[nintara]

any game with voxel based graphics could fit in here, but the only one i can name is vangers.

the ui at the bottom reminds me of those turn of the millenium mp3 player program skins.

 

[Retro Doomer]

The only game that i can remember right now with an interesting Art Style would be Psychonauts

 

[Swicky]

Friends vs Friends has a really unique artstyle in my opinion. Nice urban settings with splashes of color everywhere. Looks like Borderlands but everything's a little cleaner

 

[Turbo Kid]

The Voice of Cards games. I love the aesthetic of an entire virtual world represented with cards

The Guacamelee series - Never played anything that looks like them. Vaguely reminds me of Samurai Jack

Cris Tales looks amazing and does fun stuff with its time travel gimmick

Ska Studios games - Dark, weird, and distinct

Lost in Random and Pumpkin Jack - Tim Burton-esque

Viva Pinata - Lush, gorgeous, vibrant visuals with a really unique twist on "animals"

Valkyria Chronicles - The water color, interactive, story book look

Anything from Team Ico has a distinctive look

Of course Journey - The heavy use of moving tapestries everywhere and unusual looking main character

Dust an Elysian Tale - One of the most beautiful games ever made

Bye Sweet Carole, which hasn't released yet
