Cel Shaded Games
Cel shading is a graphic style of engine that blackens the lines of characters and environments and makes them look more like comic book artwork instead of ultra high textured and hardware hungry modern games. I like this style because I always liked comic books and if developers can make this style of graphic engine work that is fine by me. Most of the games with this style were successful and game like Borderlands and Walking Dead used it to the fullest. Here are some of my favorites cel shaded games.
Borderlands
This must be one of my favorite games ever, this is highly stylistic Shooter Action RPG on a futuristic planet with an abundance of crazy characters and even crazier story line. Shooting and looting with 4 classes in great looking cel shaded environment with Claptrap by your side made original Borderlands very fun. Borderlands 2 was also great. I highly recommend if you missed this game to try it.
XIII
One of the first cel shaded games was this shooter. Every move you made in the game had that comic book feel to it. When you shoot something it says Bang! When you hear someone coming close next to you you can read tap tap, different approach but so much fun.
Walking Dead
Telltale games are very good at utilizing cel shading graphic and they are mostly popular because of this episodic game. In this point and click action game you will play as survivors of the nasty plague that turn people into zombies. Gut wrenching story, main characters dying all the time, this game has all that and more.
The Wolf Among Us
Another great Telltale cel shaded point and click adventure game. This game had an amazing art and atmosphere to it. Story is based around werewolf detective who is trying to solve a murder. Fantasy setting and all sorts of interesting characters with nice looking cel shaded graphics made this game very interesting to try.
