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.

As an Aztec/Mayan native, this game was hilariously offensive to me. I call it shadow of the colonialist.

I especially love how the Aztec goddess and saviour is a white, British rich girl. Thank god she showed up to save us colored folk.

As a Mexican, I found the detailed environments, the size of the cities, and the native language dialogues, wonderful. It's awesome just walking around and hearing people speak in their native tongues. "¡Marchanta, marchanta, marchanta!" was always fun to hear at the markets.

And let's face it, if it's a Tomb Raider game, there's going to be artifact stealing, murder, and everything will revolve around Lara Croft, it's no surprise she saved everyone at the end.
