Kunitsu-Gami is a relatively small-scale, defiantly odd game that could have been ripped straight from that 2000s heyday. With its sequence of small, confined stages, focused action, and a tight gameplay loop, it feels more like a remaster of some lost PS2 game than a true product of 2024.

We intentionally distinguish the look and feel of the different environments from the artwork, and each continent in the game is designed with a distinct visual style.

"We're not using physically based rendering (PBR)," begins Adam, referring to a now-standard lighting and texturing technique in modern games. Instead, Guild Wars 2 leans into a hand-painted art style that has become a hallmark of its aesthetic identity."
