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.

I hate that people make this Horizon's legacy. It's a great game, and I loved playing through it, it's one of the very very few games I played through twice.

But apparently we can't just appreciate some honestly pretty wicked concept art without turning it into the "Culture War™".

I've only just started Forbidden West and I'm enjoying it so far, but it's really off-putting that the main discord I hear is left-wingers complaining about incels complaining about Aloy's face. Is there genuinely nothing more noteworthy about the game?
