Black and white UI in games. Yes or No?

[Yankee Zulu]

I think maybe Skyrim started this? Old **** should know better. Phoenix Point, Bellwright (with some blue), ELEX, and others I can't remember.

Soulless minimalist corposlop

I didn't understand the question so I interpret it as "do you like those homosexual mobile minimal UIs?" and voted no

Only seen it done well a couple times where it's actually appropriate e.g., Endless Space 2

[Finarfin]

No, thank you. I prefer soulful UI like:
First picture is unfortunately small since I couldn't find a better one.

It is a -strong- depend. Since UI is very subjective, and a lot of games have different UI.

Generally, I would say - No; the exception is where it is 'minimalist' where it permits easier use.

Kenshi's UI is peak. It's neither Black, nor White, nor Minimalist.

[Tangerine]

Minimalist UI is tolerably functional, but it doesn't do it for me. I want UI that looks like it belongs in the setting. If it's fantasy, it should look like it's on scrolls or stone. If it's sci-fi, there should be dials, computer screens, and blinking lights. Whatever is setting appropriate. It needs character because I'll be looking at it for hours.

[Xenich]

There should be shape, texture and color symmetry even in a minimalist approach. So it depends on the game, setting, art style, etc...

[Breathe]

It depends entirely on the rest of the visual presentation.
