as a graphic designer this HITS because the graphics for both games are actually really good but they’re more centered on simplicity and minimalism, plus they’ve got their own art style. it’s not realistically styled—and i think people need to remember that realism is not the pinnacle of art, nor is it the qualification for art to be considered ‘good’
i think one big part of it (at least in terms of among us) is that the simplicity leads plenty to the imagination. evidence being just how many different interpretations and OCs of imposters and crew there are.
