I'm a sucker for a game with a unique style and interesting art direction. I don't care if it's an MMO I've never played before or a deckbuilding FPS life sim. If it looks good, I'm in. Mortal Sin drew my attention during its early access period because it did just that. It eschewed the modern triple-A trend of chasing hyper-realism in lieu of doing something interesting with its art. It just so happened that the dungeon crawling gameplay was more than a match for the stellar aesthetic. Now it has released v1.0, and more players than ever are jumping in to bash some demons.
