Portal 2
Metal Gear Solid : V
The Fox engine was another kind of black magic
For real, I feel like the konami drama kind of overshadowed this aspect. Yes it’s a shame metal gear died, but kojima isn’t dead and still gets to make games. But the fox engine? That’s the true tragedy.

Mega Man X
Yoshi's Island

EVE Online. still after all these years (23) it's still a beautiful game that I god damn am still addicted to.
I'm so sorry, brother. I escaped 7 years ago.
Half-Life 2 or Fallout NV
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (emulated)
The Trine series is really pretty and even the newest entry has relatively modest hardware requirements.
ut'99 baby. full game with healthy stack of mods would be maybe a gig or two. would look and play well on most types of computational vegetation. ok, yeah UT2004 would also look nice and play in most potatoes.
i listed more but then I looked and it showed my age so I deleted them and focused on unreal ya whippersnappers.
quit your lolligagging
UT '99... hell yeah. I sunk a lot of hours into that, even before we had the internet.
Warframe.
My potato from 15 years ago could in fact not run if (fluently; had like 15 fps).
A shame, especially with how optimized the game is.
tf2, starcraft2, terraria, cuphead
Bastion = 2gb ram
Portal 2
Age of empires 2
The original Talos Principle, easily one of the most stunning games I've played.
By the time I reached the desert stages I would regularly just stop and look around, soaking it in.
Damnit I need to buy a VR headset just to play it again in VR!
Phenomenal call, well met stranger.
Not the same as any of these, but I always felt Spyro had a beauty to it, even if it is a bright and colourful one.
Twilight Princess
for the 2nd requirments, I guess it falls into any of these categories
- old games (e.g. HL2, Doom2016)
- indigames (e.g. Hades, Cuphead)
- 2D games (e.g. Disco Elysium)
Mudrunner?
That sure doesn't run (smoothly) on my potato.
Children of Morta
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series
Mindustry
Pong.
Spelunky original version
Skyrim
Bloodborne
The PS4 is hardly a potato, no?
And the PS4 can hardly run Bloodborne (to my standards)
Fallout New Vegas
I love New Vegas but gorgeous is not a adjective that I would use to describe it.
I don't know. In many ways I'd describe Fallout 1 and 2 as better looking than New Vegas...
