BEST ART DIRECTION
Great art direction gives a game its own identity. This award celebrates the visual creativity behind independent games, recognizing distinctive artistic styles, thoughtful compositions and worlds that stay with us long after we stop playing. From striking aesthetics to the smallest visual details, these games prove that art can be just as powerful as gameplay.
