Decided to randomly click my MAME ROMs list and see what I get :

Batman Forever : not a big fan of either beat'em all, Batman or grim darkness but it is ok. Many combo and spectacular powers.

Battle Circuit : The opposite of Batman : fun, colored, and not bad either.

Cybertank : some early pseudo-3D that is completely fucked up but somehow managed to capture the spirit of drunk driving. Well what do I know, I've never driven drunk, and this is not what will get me started. Pure shit.

D-Day : As fun as it looks. Next.

P-47 Aces : gorgeous, mesmerizing, unreadable and stupidly fast. Half of the time the screen is filled by explosions so you can't see the lighning-fast bullets coming.

P47 Phantom Fighter : The exact opposite of fun. Sad and tedious. Work, almost.

And that's all for now.

still crazy to me that miyazaki seems to be the first person in the universe to have thought "hmm maybe dungeons that have no sources of light should actually be dark"

You sir, are no Dungeon Master.

There is literally a game two posts above yours that did it years before. Darkness was a text adventure staple until the '90s. And because of necessarily short draw distances, most of the early 3D dungeon crawlers would do something like that.

Severance also had completely dark areas. Zero visibility without a torch.

Whoever was the lead artist on this was a bit too much infatuated with infrared photography.

I guess it can be cool for someone totally unfamiliar with it, but to me it's just gimmicky. The other half of the ER screenshot that don't look like IR photos are reminiscent of overphotoshopped kitschy landscape shots that are so popular among hobbyist photographers.

Dunno, the game might be good, but I find the visual style offputting. I much prefer the "realist" style of ELEX, then Nehrim was a good example of the occasional surrealism.

Saint Francis' Folly is my favorite level in the game:

Took him long enough to figure it out. But lol, no, he did not invent that
Have you played Dragon's Dogma?

From's very own Shadow Tower had areas with extremely limited visibility where torch was pretty much a must.
