Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.
This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.
The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.
- All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
- Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
- If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @[email protected] to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
- MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
- No generative AI art.

Bastion.
One of the very few video game soundtracks I listen to. I sang Build The Wall to my first kid as a baby to get her to sleep. The choice at the end of the game literally made me walk away from my PC for a while and just kind of stare at nature lol. Not many games have had the kind of impact my first playthrough of Bastion had.
Bastion never managed to catch me, Transistor did it for me tho. I burst into tears when the credits rolled and Paper Boats revealed itself as a duet between Red and her unnamed lover, after her not saying word for the entire game it hits so damn hard.
Bastion and Transistor didn't take for me, but I recommend Hades to everyone who will listen.
All the characters are memorable and it's amazing to find all the interactions. I'm so surprised such a story focused game is so fun to play.
Ah I was just going to ask in the other comment chain about if all Supergiant Games made the same impression as Transistor did for me, but seeing from the discussion here I'm inclined to think that they are all pretty good with something grabbing some people in and other things grabbing other people in the other game.
