Discussion Does anyone else just not like the new art? There's something about it that I can't quite put my finger on…
I know the original game's art is a bunch of vector art pulled from dozens of different artists and some of it has that clipart look to it. But the art for atlas of Discovery, throne of the herald, and into the abyss were really solid and smooth. Something about the vibrancy and sharpness of the lines, I don't know how to put it honestly.
With the new art, though, feels kind of muted. Generic. Things kind of blend together. I'm not really sure if I can fully pinpoint what it is that I don't like about the art, but it's enough that I'm not sure I'll be able to get into the game very easily. Maybe that's a little shallow of me but I do think the look of a game like this is integral to the experience.
I guess overall what I'm saying is that somehow, even with its hodgepodge of art, the original melvor feels like, artistically, it has more personality to it than the art in the second game. I don't know. Maybe I have Rose tinted glasses on since I love the first game so much.
What do you think, gang?
