#10: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (X360)

Oblivion's setting of the Cyrodil province is stunning, but it also boasts a wide range of different artistic inspirations. The character models of each race are vastly different, ranging from the human Imperials to the beastly Orcs. The game itself is so huge, and thus sports a wide range of environmental styles. The icy mountains of the Valus range, the woods of Chorrol and the fiery gates of Oblivion itself are but a few.

Good news everyone, I just updated this post.
Added Daemonica, a small little Czech gem.
And rearranged stuff a lot, leaving only top-tier games at the, well, top tier.

You can now rest more easily knowing that such an exquisitely picked selection just got better!
Rest well, whomever the fuck cares, rest well...

Divinity: Original Sin 2 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
I really don't expect people to understand the list, particularly games like DOOM 3 and RAGE. But maybe, just maybe, there's some special kind of nerd out there on a very destructive quest of self-discovery that may find it handy.

I didn't find out how much those two actually delivered in terms of visual and immersive appeal until very late in my path of becoming artistically aware.

Which sounds grandiose but it was really just sitting down and playing a bunch of computer games, staring for hours at melancholic romantic paintings, reading obscure literature and listening to depressive music.

It's strange that someone would put D3 and Rage as examples of good art direction, but not both parts of Alice (with emphasis on the sequel).

The mere inclusion of Doom 3 at the top tier is enough to automatically dismiss both the list and its maker from anything even remotely related to tasteful.

Also,

There are few games with great artistic direction in graphics.

Whatever. Keep playing your shit games full of tasteless crap.

When the day of reckoning comes, you'll know that sometime, somewhere, you read or heard about this one and only person who achieved transcendence into godhood.

And in a flash of insight you'll remember these words: 1eyedking.

Trust me, this list will not sound like a funny thread then...
