Like "I sometimes feel like I'm staring at wonderful papercraft diorama" work.īack to Valheim, I sometimes I have to even pinch myself when wandering it's forests and grassy fields because they are so much more immersive than other more "advanced" games despite all the pixelated textures. make for an utterly gorgeous experience.Īmusingly the only other game I can think of pulling a similar "lo-fi but GORGEOUS" might be the Octopath Traveller folks with how they simply made a world of simple 3D with literally 16bits pixel textures and 2D character sprites but then overlaid the whole with beautiful lighting and other effects like gorgeous water and it just. It's just that it understood that "having access to modern tech" doesn't mean you're always absolutely have to constantly go "push hardware to the max because that's the only standard of pretty for some" and instead decided to scale back to a MUCH more approachable hardware requirement that, thanks to wonderful art direction and other aspects it's more forgiving graphics allows. Because in truth, it's a very modern game you see it in the lighting engine, the water, the use of normal mapping. Honestly, I like how this game manage to not only have this low texture resolution/low polycount models approach for lower requirements but also *rolls with it*. Again of an exageration but gosh it feels such sometimes. ![]() ![]() I mean, I exagerate but honestly I love how this game bucks the trend of graphics direction that see prettier graphics sometimes purely in terms of "higher resolution/polycount/etc support than X" to the point of sometimes forgeting. ![]() "But the texture resolution isn't 4K like I bought overpriced hardware for".
