Nidhogg 2 looks like steaming faeces.
I guess telling, not showing does have its advantages sometimes.
People could check out Nidhogg 2 in action here, not a significantly cropped picture:
I know a lot of people have already commented on this, but damn, this is a shame. I had no idea there was a sequel coming. Granted, it looks good in motion now that's I've looked it up and is probably going to be tons of fun, but this particular screenshot makes it look like Nidhogg 2: Nekkid Burt vs. Ernie.
Looks great!
I have edited for clarity as I was totally unclear. I meant it as providing a link for people (general 'you') but it came out wrong.
Nonsense
Yep. One of the many reasons TP fell completely flat for me as a Zelda fan. The first of the series to really disappoint me on release.Going purely on aesthetics:
Twilight Princess has some seriously ugly character design, and everything looks like it's made of plastic. It's funny how it was praised for its art style when literally every other 3D Zelda was much more pleasing in this regard. The whole game is also permeated by an incredibly drab colour pallete. Even in broad daylight, Hyrule Field still manages to look like a gloomy and grimy place. It's not as bad in TPHD, which seems a little more saturated, but you can't fix ugly.

As for me, I'm not a fan of the "Flash animation" aesthetic. I'll probably get flak for it, but I don't like the look of Behemoth's games, such as Castle Crashers. Their games are still a joy to play, though!
I HATE, HATE the Minecraft visuals. I know what they are going for but prefer this type visuals way more.

Sorry, guys. Here's something more accurate:

Still looks bad.
Probably unpopular opinion, but Dropsy.
While the ugly aesthetics are on purpose - Ugly people, a crap depressing world, desaturated washed out colours - the real problem is the game resolution. For a modern game it is so low that in a 23" screen looks awful with pixels bloated to absurd extremes.
I suppose this is completely intentional to reflect the look of old advanture games, but it hurts the eyes. I have played a lot of other low res point and click adventure games like Gemini Rue, and they never felt as bad as Dropsy. Since the game uses some serious spritework and animation, it should have gone with a slightly higher resolution, like Owlboy or Jamestown.
