What are your favorite games that focus on gameplay rather than graphics?

While I am certainly a fan of a pretty game, visuals are by no means the only standard that I judge a game's quality on. One of my all-time favorite games is a permadeath bullet-hell game called Realm of the Mad God, a game that is mostly populated visually with 8x8 sprites. It's not an ugly game by any measure, but the focus is clearly not on utilizing current-gen hardware.

I'm curious what you all have in mind!

    There's this old Attack on Titan browser game that is SO fun to play, it looks awful but has a surprising skill mastery curve for learning how to swing around between building and titans!

    Great question by the way, love this discussion Slight smile

  • I have been playing a lot of Hades lately and the art style is absolutely gorgeous but not graphics intensive. The gameplay is so polished that I have no complaints.

    True! it's been a lot of fun, I was addicted to Binding of Isaac so it's somewhat similar.

    I've been playing Valheim lately on the Community server. Graphics aren't the best, but the mechanics and physics are pretty good and I haven't played a game before that actually took physics into account when building structures.
