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.
Dark souls 3
Super Nintendo-era pixel graphics games like Chrono Trigger. Pixel graphics need a lot less computational power to look good IMO.
Similar for modern pixel graphics games like Risk of Rain.
Mass Effect 2

mASS effect.
The Mad Max game from 2015 is surprisingly well-optimized.
Halo 3
Myst of course.
Portal 2
Minecraft
Also Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2
BG1+2 is peak.
IME, Minecraft looks kinda bad until you install shader mods, at which point it needs pretty substantial GPU power. But IDK, maybe Bedrock Edition is more efficient, I only ever played the Java version.
Obligatory Hollow Knight mention
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?
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
I recall mh world being an unoptimised mess
StarCraft and WarCraft series.
