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 @saucechan@ani.social 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.

What's a game that made a visual or musical impression on you? Or maybe it had a story that has stayed with you for years.

Nier Automata: the music, the way the world permanently changes as you progress through the story, as well as the art style all are all just chiefs kiss

Nier:Automata was a game I dismissed at first because of the main charachter. The last game I'd played that everyone made such a big deal over the atttactive female charachter was Tomb Raider (the first one on PS1) which I found to be a boring game.

But Nier:Automata showed me I was wrong, it's a stunning game from many different standpoints, and it was all done without playing up 2B as a sex object. She's a normal "person" with goals who has been put in a situation that she needs to figure out, instead of being a pair of boobs or legs that someone handed a couple of guns to.

I'm actually getting Nier vibes from Armored Core VI of all games. Each playthrough is subtly different, revealing a little more of the world, with dialogue and missions appearing that just weren't there in the first playthrough...

I am currently playing it and oh boy, it is truly a nice game, sadly I mixed it with BOTW (playing those two at the same time) and that was a mistake on my part, I thought Nier was more hack n slash than open world RPG... Now I'm struggling to finish both 😅

Regardless both are top notch games.
