The Case for Art in Games


When we think about video games, we often think of them as being primarily about gameplay mechanics and graphics. But there's one aspect of game development that's just as important, if not more so: art. Art is what gives games their personality, their soul. It's what makes us remember a game long after we've stopped playing it. In short, art is what makes games truly special.

Think about some of your favorite games. Chances are, the ones that stand out the most are the ones with the most unique and memorable art styles. Games like "Hades" "Cuphead," and "Horizon" are all great examples of this. Each of these games has such a distinct visual style that you could pick them out of a lineup without even seeing any gameplay footage. That's the power of art in games.


Not only does art make games more visually interesting, but it also helps to create an emotional connection between the player and the game. A well-designed game world can make players feel like they're part of another world, one that they're reluctant to leave when the game is over. And isn't that what we ultimately want from our games? To transport us to another place, even if it's just for a few hours?


Art is an essential part of what makes video games special. Without art, games would be little more than collections of code and polygons. It's art that gives games their personality and their soul. So next time you're thinking about your favorite games, take a moment to appreciate the artists who helped bring those worlds to life.
