Best Looking Games That Don't Use Textures

Post by NotAI »

Post examples with screenshots of RECENT GAMES you think LOOK GREAT that fill each object with only a solid color, and don't use textures, like it's still 1994 and you're still playing King's Field.

The following two come to mind when it comes to NO TEXTURES but still NICE LOOKING.





AND WHAT ELSE?

FURTHER RULE FOR THE THREAD:

Ignore sprites.

I wrote the topic question imprecisely. Not a new thing for me.

There's that totally-not-morrowind being made by a team of "indies" larger than Bethesda was when it made morrowind that uses this look. They have something like 8 artists and apparently not one could be bothered to learn how to make textures.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Off the top of my head I can't think of a single 3D-game without textures about which I didn't think "they're cheaping out under the guise of art-style" at the very least. Most are complete garbage-tier shovelware cash-grabs.

Most. What about the rare exceptions that didn't suck?

I remember there was this game set in a desert and you ride a hovercraft. I forgot what it's called.

I think it had some textures, but mostly not, and looked pretty decent.

Threads like this should always have screenshots, preferably multiple, and not just be vague posting. I'm curious about the unnamed mentioned games.
