Man, fuck console exclusives.
One of the reasons I play videogames. Finally someone recognised this! 😃
It's nice to see Tearaway get a mention… such an under appreciated game.
"amazing graphics" sees the abominable anti-antialiasing i sure hope this game supports DSR T__T
Journey is such a masterpiece, what are you even doing with your life if you haven't played through it at least one time?
Transistor should've been in the top 4 , buts it's watchmojo
Abe's exoddus (1998)
I swear Ico and SOTC have healing powers, I've suffered from bad depression my whole life. And I hate playing video games when it's sunny out. But Ico and SOTC is like the exception, while and after playing them my whole life suddenly feels like everything's okay again, I love them, it's like they transport me back to this childlike state of positivity & curiosity, games I might add to the list are Katamari Damacy, Loco Roco, Silent Hill 2, Mirrors Edge for the art direction, um there's loads more but most of all I'd say, Gregory Horror Show, I wish I could add RPG games to the list but I've never been a fan, although I'm very jealous of people that do like them, as some RPG games have to be some of the most beautiful, story driven, games I've ever seen, and with amazing soundtracks too, but I've never been a fan of the combat :'(
Firewatch and The Beginner's Guide are both really artistic games too :v
I'm really surprised games like El Shaddai and Killer 7 aren't on this list. Those are games that truly push towards an art form more than an actual game. Also, I think Bioshock should show up here.
Show this to everyone who says: "Video games are not art". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTzHj-R9McA
Just wanted to say you're doing a great job and to keep it up!
Such a perfect list! I was almost worried that Shadow of the Colossus wouldn't appear on the top spot as I got to the 'honorable mentions'. But wow, this turned out splendid.
If anyone cares, I'll add some: Pathologic, Whispered World
You forgot from The Endless Forest. It is areally artsy game, such a beautiful game… And free. (In my opinion)
OSU?
What about Bioshock? (1+3)
WAIT NERF BASTION IS HERE???
cuphead was hand drawn and it should be on this list.
YEEEAAAHHH OKAMI MADE IT! Such a beautiful game, the narrative, the soundtrack, the gameplay, the art style, and heart felt moments are what make this game so amazing
Honestly I think Undertale, Okami, Ori and the Blind Forest, Skyrim, and Earthbound are all beautiful games with unique stories and art. This is just my opinion of course so feel free to disagree or agree but you can't deny the soundtracks of these games are amazing.
Cuphead
Gris
Limbo
Braid
Superhot
the beginner's guide
innerspace
Precisely all video games are art!!!! Don't be stupid! : (
Nice.
Flower seems like a beautiful game!I wish I could play it;is this game for Xbox One or not?I wanna know.
Silent Hill 2 AMATOR…
where's Dark Souls?
Aw, Mirror's Edge didn't get a mention 🙁
What about The Stanley Parable?
Where's Cuphead?
Oh Cool :3
No planescape? Really?!
I just cried a little, not much, just a little..
Ori and the blind fucking forest!
so braid is on this list but not dragon's crown/odin sphere…k
i want a bigger list of artistic games for my research please help me everyone
a nice list, with some new stuff for me to play in there, let me offer "Little Nightmares" for a possible follow up video
D2 from Dreamcast!!!!
Witcher 3? Especialy Touisant
I'm not sure if it was quite out yet when this video was made but Abzu is so amazing and artistic in every way. It was made by giant squid studios and their newest project Pathless looks amazing as well. It came out in august of 2016 so I think it was probably close to this videos creation. I was happy to see Journey on the list as well. Similar style to Abzu in my opinion.
Correction : Journey and Abzu I believe were made by the same creators so no wonder I thought they looked similar 😂
WHY IS TETRIS NOT HERE!?!??!
DOKI DOKI!?!?!?
NOT EVEN IN HONORABLE MENTIONS!?!?
DOKI DOKI IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER!
Bioshock???
SILENT. Fucking. HILL. 2
This list needs to be updated
Hyper Light Drifter Fan: 😑 you forgot it
Giris?
Where are limbo and inside?
Elecktroplankton might be a really good art game for the fine-art lovers of the 21th century like Roger Eberts, only if it was thresholded to black & white and featured beep music..
Prince of persia 2008?????
What about Yume Nikki and LSD Dream Emulator?
