There's an upcoming RPG for PS4 called Blue Reflection which looks like your average pretty girls JRPG at a first glance, but I can't deny the music and the menus aesthetics are pretty cool.

Character design aside, this looks pretty alright.

 

[CannonFodder52]

Quake most definitely oozes style. That Reznor soundtrack is so good!

Maybe I'm alone in this but I always enjoyed the style of Cubivore: Survival of the Fittest

Why does it have to be a multi hundred dollar game...

 

[killatopak]

Every Vanillaware game. Kamitani is a god.

I like you and your username.

 

[Waji]

Kingdom Heats 2.

What style exactly does this have ?

I just can't see P5, Ôkami or other titles like that in the same topic as KH2, just no.

 

[Syril]

The interfaces in the Dept. Heaven series made by Sting.

Why does it have to be a multi hundred dollar game...

Oh yeah, and I'm the dumb dumb that sold it back it in the day when its value had only risen back up to $50.

 

[Thud]

Also the best are definitely the Kyle Hyde games aka Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and Last Window: Secret of Cape West.

[The Lamonster]

No one has mentioned the original Guitar Hero games?

 

[Celine]

There's Tokyo Mirage Sessions. Not quite on the same level as P5 but it's definitely up there in terms of style.

Came to post this one.

 

[RangerX]

Comix Zone on the Megadrive had a cool style.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Wow, I completely forgot about the fact that there was a Megaten game on Wii U. Mind blown. I wonder if they'll use P5's HD demons for a Switch follow up?

Switch already has an Unreal Engine 4 SMT game in development, I would love them to work on a sequel to TMS though:

 

[Head of Vengarl]

Transistor

Muramasa: The Demon Blade

Okami

Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2

and of course The World Ends With You

 

[Moon Presence]

The Wolf Among Us]

You just made me remember:

WHERE'S OUR SEQUEL TELLTALE? WHERE?

Okami 2 is one of my dreams that will never happen. That game still holds up.

 

[CannonFodder52]

Oh yeah, and I'm the dumb dumb that sold it back it in the day when its value had only risen back up to $50.

Ugh, thats pretty rough.

How good is the gameplay though? I've been debating buying it for probably 2 years now.

 

[TWILT]

The World Ends With You:

Distinctive and cool style, which naturally extends to its music.

This is my favorite too. I really dig the "hip downtown Tokyo" aesthetic and TWEWY really nails it.

 

[2Smashed4U]

I haven't received it yet, but I bought Nier Automata in large part due to its pretty distinct and striking aesthetic and style.

Spoiler

even if 2B is blatant wankbait material

 

[MsKrisp]

The World Ends With You:

Distinctive and cool style, which naturally extends to its music.

Came here to post this. And a bunch of other stuff people have already mentioned, like Viewtiful Joe and No More Heroes.

I also miss the aesthetic that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 had.

[Killthee]

My answer is Sonic. The Sonic franchise in general has generally sold itself on style. Sonic is "cool" and Sonic is "fast," and each game builds on this overall concept in a way that bleeds through into the gameplay and presentation. I think my favorite example of this is the Adventure series' soundtracks, which took a unique, "hip" approach that still stands out to this day.

 

[jetjevons]

Absolutely. I'd add Sword and Sworcery. Probably a lot of other mobile games.

The UI for Blue Reflection is soooo pretty and aesthetically pleasing. I'm a huge sucker for all the pastels, too....

 

[Shin-Ra]

Dreams (Media Molecule)

 

[Moofers]

WET has terrific style. The whole junkyard rockabilly thing it has going on is great. That game catches undue shit when it was a pretty awesome game with a wild soundtrack and real Kill Bill over-the-top style.

 

[voodew]

Have to support my boys and Grasshopper Studios and say Killer7. It's the only game that's given me real vibes just from its graphics design, UI, and art direction alone.

 

[Stairouais]

Ridge Racer Type 4 wins in every department: UI Design, tracks, music, gameplay... the definition of cool.

This and wip3out got my votes.

 

[lvl99 Pixel]

I want to say Bayonetta but the menus arent all that inspired

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

I remember Dirt 3 doing a fantastic job.

[Triggerhappytel]

Gravity Rush 2 is extremely stylish. It has really lively music, bright colours, fantastic character art and the menus are gorgeous. Here's a couple of shots I shared when I first played the demo:

 

[vakarian32]

First titles that come to mind for me:

- WipEout HD / Fury

Yep I was thinking that too, loved the menu in Fury - https://youtu.be/I1s-eCBVedw?t=15s

Can't wait for the Omega collection

 

[thepenguin55]

I remember really liking it despite it being pretty repetitive. It's been a long time since I played it so maybe I would feel differently about it now but charming, quirky and fun probably are the descriptors that encapsulate my feelings on the game. Not sure that it's worth the price though.

Let it Die


Style all over from UI to game to loading screens to every part of this game everywhere, not a single piece of the game missed by style and attention like Persona 5.

Oozes alot of it
