Even 2016 and Eternal have pretty moderate requirements for their fidelity.

Obligatory Hollow Knight mention

Warframe. They got it running on mobile, and it looks absolutely gorgeous. I myself ran it for a few years on a shitty graphics card that could barely run minecraft with a texture pack.

Super Mario World is a game that shows artistic design outlasts everything else. That game still looks and plays amazingly.

But I think the real issue is "looks good" is very subjective.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (Ground Zeroes as well)

Looking good is about artstyle more than realistic graphics for me so most pixelart games.

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 days ago

A lot of older 2d games can run on a portrait potato and the artwork holds up excellently.

RC2, civ 3, Anno 1602, sim city 3000, AOE2.

Not Cirith Ungol.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Super Nintendo-era pixel graphics games like Chrono Trigger. Pixel graphics need a lot less computational power to look good IMO.

Similar for modern pixel graphics games like Risk of Rain.
