10 Video Games With Unique Art Styles You Need To See

10. Killer7

Cel shading was a big deal at the start of the century for a select few games. Whilst most developers were pushing for a more realistic look in their games, some bucked the trend and went for a more aesthetically pleasing cartoon look.

Killer7, wacky "auteur" director Suda51's GameCube debut, is one such title. A curious beast of a game, with its seemingly bananas plot and equally baffling control scheme, Killer7 was a polarising game on release.

It seems like a cop out for me to say, "You just have to play it" and be done with it, but honestly, I only have so many characters and a story recap wouldn't fit in here. You just have to play it.

It's weird, make no bones about it. It needs a couple of playthroughs to get used to how it plays and to make sense of what's going on, but it does pay off.

A truly unique game from the man who went on to give us the No More Heroes series (if that tells you anything), with a complimentary unique style, it should be one to seek out for something off the rails.
