Art is probably the single most important aspect of graphics. While a game can look great on a technical level, not all games are artsy. Sometimes not-so-impressive tech can be countered with beautiful art. There are a lot of games that come to mind that many consider interactive art, and many games this year were quite impressive in this category.

Psychonauts 2

Psychonauts 2 was more than a decade in the making and the visual style of the game is like none other. The character design, squiggly lines, and overall unique aesthetic looks like Psychonauts should. When you see just a shot from a level you know it’s from this game due to the amazing art that went into it. While not super impressive in tech it sure makes up for it in color.
