Games like Undertale, Pizza Tower, and Stardew Valley are meant to use the formula of excluding ultra realistic graphics and just go with the flow. So there are some videogames out there that have the same graphics as like in the good ol' days.

[@1personithink]

Undertale's funny stuff (big brother funny skeleton isn't really realistic), Pizza tower's general premise / game (a pizzaman has to save his failing business from a laser that will be fired by a pizza head), and Stardew valley's weird stuff Also they are all pixel based-graphically games. Undertale's retro, Pizza tower's ms paint, and Stardew valley's retro

[@Cheese-Slime-Sheriff]

They have to realize. Realistic graphics work for realistic games. It works so well for Red Dead and Cyberpunk because they’re set in _our world,_ or at least a version of it. It works because the games themselves are realistic, and they need to look realistic too. But so many games aren’t realistic at all! Tf2 had a unique style because it’s separate from our world with a whole new story. Red Dead and Cyberpunk are serious, realistic games that take place in our world’s past and future, so they need to look like they’re in our world. Tf2 is a goofy, unrealistic game where everything is different from our world, so it doesn’t need to look like our world, but its own world. In short, realistic graphics work for realistic games, or at least games that are meant to be in our world.

[@ahmethacikasimoglu5819]

[@vladdumitrucampian3046]

[@עמרירייכרט]

Have to disagree. I mean, mario Kart 8 deluxe (we don't talk about the dlc) is a gorgeous and very realistic game, but I don't think it's set in our world. I think it's mostly lighting and textures and mario Kart 8 nails it

[@anthonyoliver418]

Not to mention realism in the graphics if not handled properly can make a game run worse while taking more effort over just being more stylized, leading to games that would run fine on all systems being forced to chug in certain spots that would’ve been avoidable if they just didn’t go over board.

[@Benno_427]

A very interesting case here is it takes two. They made the humans hyper realistic, but they didn't put a lot of effort into it so it looks awful. But the biggest part of the game is the dolls, and the more stylised art of that game looks so amazingly beautiful.
