Steam has started rolling out the nominees for 2019’s edition of The Steam Awards. This year, they’ll be doing daily video rollouts of each category in the lead up to open voting. For the first day of nominees, we see five games vying it out for Outstanding Visual Style. Among the contenders are a historic real-time strategy game, an underwater exploration sim, and one winner of our own Editor’s Choice award.
Outstanding Visual Style doesn't aspire to real-world graphical fidelity, but describes a distinctive look & feel that suffuses an entire game. These devs are the Willy Wonkas of eye candy. 👀
