Top 10 Artistic Games
While staunch critics of the video game industry are quick to shortchange the medium as having no artistic merit, there are some games that few could argue do not push the boundaries between art and video games. These games do an amazing job of providing a compelling sense of atmosphere and truly putting you into their world like few games can. Here’s a look at some of the best games when it comes to artistic direction:

 

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
While Nintendo took a real risk with this title in their beloved Zelda franchise by using a stylized cel-shaded graphical style, but the game turned out to play great and look wholly unique.

BioShock
The dystopian underwater world of Rapture is masterfully brought to life in this masterpiece, filled will nuanced details and a terrifying sense of ambience to make it one of the most fully-realized and intense games around.

Okami

The swan song of acclaimed developer Clover Studios, Okami was a visual gem, with incredible watercolor-inspired graphics and a great sense of atmosphere.
