Donkey Kong Country on the SNES.

Valheim if you want something newer

[-] Sustolic@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Valheim is considerably demanding imo, have to play the game at 1080p to get a decent and consistent frame rate on my 5700 XT

The original Talos Principle, easily one of the most stunning games I've played

I love NV but I would not use the word gorgeous to describe it

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 18 hours ago

I personally think it still stands as a beautiful game, the art style especially has aged quite well

[-] e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 day ago

The Trine series is really pretty and even the newest entry has relatively modest hardware requirements.

Metal Gear Solid : V

The Fox engine was another kind of black magic

[-] CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago

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.

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.

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.

[-] bort@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

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)

The PS4 is hardly a potato, no?

[-] dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago

And the PS4 can hardly run Bloodborne (to my standards)
