I have a soft spot for games with low-poly graphics, even more so if the games are good to boot. What games got it right in your opinion? Post 'em.
Crash and Spyro are easy mode
Games that did low-poly right

I always thought the original Everquest had this weirdly mystical vibe to it, especially the lighting and sound, than no other game has been able to recreate since then.

Not games with shitty, cartoony artstyles that's for sure.

The Spyro and Crash Bandicoot (especially 2 and 3) games on the PS1 still look pretty damn good for 3D PS1 games. Crash 2 and 3 in particular made use of some neat loading tricks and angles if memory serves to be able to get around how much detail could be shown on the screen at once if memory serves.

Had this idea a while back about an Earthworm Jim 3D styled game with a tentacled alien trying to take over the universe by comically absorbing the economy of each planet until he was so rich he buys the universe from god (played by weird al yankovic)
It came to me one night while I was mulling about how all these hipster indie devs just made pixel shit since its what they grew up with. I thought, hey, I grew up with low poly action platformer collectathons. I should make one of those.
Unfortunately, I got a real job and I can't do it anymore.
If someone out there is listening, do me a favor: make my dream a reality.

no, they make pixelshit because it's easy and because that's what was hip at the time. none of them played video games until the Wii came out at the earliest.

Also gifs related. Made for a future game by the same guys that did Dustforce. You know that game with a really simple but pleasing artstyle? It's right up their alley.

I will not forget this, capped for future reference.

Well I can't say that your idea is bad, but asking people to do it for you when you're at some point in your life going to have time available to do it yourself shouldn't be the go to thing to do.
