Mass Effect 2

Portal 2

Doom

rain world?

Lies of P.

(it says so in the file name of the uploaded image)

Probably Gris

Minecraft

Also Baldur's Gate 1 and 2

Super Mario World is a game that shows artistic design outlasts everything else. That game still looks and plays amazingly.

But I think the real issue is "looks good" is very subjective.

Mario Sunshine

StarCraft and WarCraft series.

Myst of course.

It’s Lies Of P - they left it in the image file name.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (Ground Zeroes as well)

Freelancer

A lot of older 2d games can run on a portrait potato and the artwork holds up excellently.

RC2, civ 3, Anno 1602, sim city 3000, AOE2.

Dishonored.

Halo 3

Hollow Knight and Silksong

Terraria

lots of really good pixel art: Celeste, hyper light drifter, dead cells, etc

Tloz minish cap
Donkey kong country 1,2,3
Super mario world

Anything can look good pre-rendered

Dishonored

Warframe. They got it running on mobile, and it looks absolutely gorgeous. I myself ran it for a few years on a shitty graphics card that could barely run minecraft with a texture pack.

I play classic wow private servers. Game came out in like 2005 so it'll run on whatever. The graphics are minimal and stylized to in a way that makes it timeless. Plugging wow-hc.com

TitanFall 2.

Metal Gear Solid V.

... maybe a slightly more impressive than average potato.

Amazing what you can do with a well optimized engine, eh?

Painkiller, 2002(?)

Looking good is about artstyle more than realistic graphics for me so most pixelart games.

The Mad Max game from 2015 is surprisingly well-optimized.

Celeste

Selaco, hands down

Bioshock Infinite , even my AMD Athlon II could handle it back in the day

Super Mario

Tetris

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. Amazing soundtrack too.

Weirdly enough DMC5. Also Monster Hunter World. Those had no business on my GPU which keeps shitting itself from Darkest Dungeon 2 but they just seem to be optimized really well

Braid

Valkyrie Chronicles

Shadow of the Beast

Dark souls 3

Arknights Endfield, unironically

celeste

dwarf fortress

Mountebank

Limbo

Hello Kitty Island Adventure

Bit of an older one, but DMC4 definitely ran well on just about anything. MT framework was really good for stuff like that.

Not Cirith Ungol.

Devil Daggers

King's Quest 1

Also Laura Bow 1

Graphically I'd have to say either Broke the Investigator or Corn Kidz 64.

One, as someone described in a plauthrough video, looks like a Saturday morning cartoon. The other, I think nails that old 90s 3D somewhat stylized video game look pretty well, IMO.

Tic Tac Toe
On a potato

After every game, you can then take a thin slice off the top and you get a fresh surface for another game.

dungeon crawl stone soup(?)
