Any game that isn’t trying to go for realistic graphics. Some off the top of my head:
- Braid
- Okami
- Outer Wilds
- Ori and the Blind Forest
Wind Waker is probably the go-to answer for this. I think Xcom 2 is a good example too, even though it’s fairly recent.
The Portal games.
Wind waker. The cell shading will always look good.
Yup. Sly Cooper still looks great as well.
Definitely Minecraft
RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 and 2. They still look as good as the day they were released, while RCT3 looks terrible now.
Pong is still unmatched, even after all these years
I’d also consider Tempest.
Terraria
Okami
Journey
Halo 3
Came here to say this too. The lighting is better than most games released in the past 5 years.
My son was playing Sunset Overdrive the other day, and I had forgotten how cinematic it was. Very fun, very punk rock.
I would have to say L.A. Noire.
Crysis still looking great.
I’m still blown away with what SNES was able to accomplish with killer instinct. Based on the games around that time, it shouldn’t have existed.
