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 @saucechan@ani.social 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.

They wrote

I was hoping I could post this without someone making it about the toxic bullshit

which implies that they were already thinking about it.

Wow. That's a reach.

Can you genuinely not empathise with the position of someone who loves a piece of art and wants to share it, but can't because of a tired two year old piece of drama that we can't get rid of?

You just drag a franchise down, you limit natural marketing, you associate it with negativity. You allow the incels to win by talking about its controversial points rather than its positive ones.

The game expands on an already incredible first title. It was a graphical powerhouse at release, the combat feels better, the acting is amazing, the enemy and character designs are stunning. But no, we need multiple comments on this post overcompensating for the inane takes of some touch-starved losers
