Valheim is another example where less is more. The textures are pixalated but the lighting, colors, basic designs are all evocative and convey enough to recognize everything in the game. I find it more immersion than a highly detailed design where the imperfections catch my eye.

    If it was a button you pushed once instead of something you need to download and set up do you think they still wouldn’t use it?

    It would probably increase the number using it, but it would still be a minority.
