@themcnoisy Never played The Darkness, but I’ve always loved the cover art for the second one. Digital art was a golden find for me personally while getting the main cover art. It just carries the effect it’s had on him with the violence that he’s involved so well.
And here’s the direct link for the image for DD, it’s a step away on the post.

Tip for everyone here to use Mobygames because it has a huge database of cover arts without having to trawl Google images.

Day 2:

Astral Chain (Switch/NA)

I like the 90's style anime art.

https://giantbomb1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/scale_small/11/1188...
Really kinetic.

Dragon Quest XI S (Switch/NA)
https://giantbomb1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/scale_small/9/97089...
A hand drawn variant that differs from the CG PS4 version already submitted.

Fragile Dreams (Wii/NA)
https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/203197-fragile-drea...
Good atmosphere.

Madworld (Wii/NA)

Love the Japanese aesthetic.

My day 2 entries!

Prey - PS4
https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/450291-prey-playsta...
Gorgeous artwork that perfectly sets the tone of the game.

Dreamfall Chapters - PS4
https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/401134-dreamfall-ch...
I love the blue/red contrast of this cover, and it's just really well designed all around.

Don't Starve - PC
https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/604294-don-t-starve...
The already wonderful Don't Starve art style nicely translates into a beautifully illustrated cover.

Rocket League - Xbox One
https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/441545-rocket-leagu...
A perfect mid-action shot that not only makes for a colourful cover, but also gets the point of the game across immediately.

Remember Me - PS3
https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/272603-remember-me-...
I love a game with a good distinct art style and/or colour scheme, and Remember Me is a great example of that.

The Saboteur - PS3
https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/180741-the-saboteur...
Perfectly captures the old-timey feel with a great, simplistic drawing style.

Puppeteer - PSN
https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/290125-puppeteer-pl...
I absolutely adore the art direction of this game, and the cover is no different.

Fe - Switch/JP
https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/458677-fe-nintendo-...
Incredibly pleasant art style combined with some great shading.

Ori and the Blind Forest - Xbox One
https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/363741-ori-and-the-...
What can I say? Very attractive lighting and colour palette.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice - PS4
https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/527665-hellblade-se...
It may, essentially, just be a face, but it's one that is gorgeously detailed and really does a great job at catching your eye.

@RogerRoger Ooh, good spot. I’ll replace it and just edit my post.

While browsing through Wii boxart I was blown away at how much better this is compared to it's overseas counterparts.

Red Steel (Wii/NA)
https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/73811-red-steel-wii...
Striking.

Yeah, I’ll leave submissions open for another 18 hrs or so. We have a pretty large pool building. I’ve been a little behind in loading the imgbb album due to just.. life and all. But I’m getting it caught up. Find the nominees here:

https://ibb.co/album/jHkn3v

Thanks for some great artwork! It’s an interesting mix and definitely a slightly different tone than the retro art.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy @Th3solution Apologies. I was in a hurry so I didn’t have much time to check or edit my entries.lol

@Th3solution Bloodborne’s cover Iooks great. Wanted to submit it as well. Also, thanks it looks like you’ve replaced my duplicate entries.

@mookysam Really like that Ghost of Tsushima cover. Wanted to submit it but wasn’t sure if it was eligible. Also, that Persona 4 Dancing All Night (EU Special Edition Box) - Vita art is quite nice. Don’t think I’ve seen it before.

@BearsEatBeets Thanks for submitting Horizon Zero Dawn’s Steelbook cover. I had totally forgotten about that one.

@LieutenantFatman Haha, I think I like the Wasteland 2’s cover better than the one from the first game.

@Ralizah (Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age - reversible cover JP Switch)
@RogerRoger (Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Special Edition - Switch)
Haven’t seen them before but those are some pretty nice looking cover arts. I especially like the Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age one.

Huntin' monsters erryday.

PSA:
As I’m making my way through the entries, I’m occasionally coming up with links that don’t work or that go to sites with multiple images. Usually I can figure it out or I can re-google the title and find an image link that works, but occasionally I have to guess as to what art you might be referring to. If you notice I put the wrong art in the album, then just let me know and we can get it corrected.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

Th3solution

@WanderingBullet Ok, thanks — I’ll leave in the simpler one that highlights the outer cover art (although the art on the inside of the steelbook is really awesome). I think if we start trying to consider the inside of the case we just open up a whole other can of worms. I love the Dark Souls art style!

By the way, what I did with yours was do my best to filter through the entries, pick out the most representative image and post it. On your alternate covers, I didn’t go through and count exactly how many duplicates you had, but I picked a handful that I just personally liked from the list of extras. So I’m case you’re wondering, that’s how some of those got in there. 😄 I ended up using several, even though I think you only had 2 or 3 duplicates.

@Th3solution Looks great so far. Struggling to find any boxart which is unique over the last 2 gens. They are nearly all close ups of a character. Why that became all the rage I will never know.
