As a seasoned gamer with over three decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the art direction in video games has always been a crucial factor in immersing me into the virtual world. The best PS5 games of 2024 have truly showcased some breathtaking visuals and creative design choices that have left me awestruck.
In addition to our “Game of the Year” top 10 list and individual selections from the Push Square editorial team, we are honoring the outstanding PS5 games of 2024 in various categories. Today, we’re highlighting the “best PS5 art direction of 2024”.
Bronze Trophy: LEGO Horizon Adventures
Few games capture the sensation of being able to grasp characters through your television as if they were real, but that’s the charm of LEGO Horizon Adventures. Unlike other LEGO titles which merely lay the familiar blocks onto existing landscapes, this game takes it a step further by virtually constructing Aloy’s journey almost entirely out of LEGO pieces. This innovative approach is both noteworthy and possibly underestimated, resulting in a visually stunning release.

Silver Trophy: Silent Hill 2
A significant portion of Silent Hill 2’s haunting ambiance comes from its unique art style: the grotesque creatures, the ominous interior settings, and the town’s streets shrouded in fog. Remaking such a renowned game while preserving its unsettling mood was no small feat for Bloober Team, yet they exceeded expectations—even ours. Silent Hill 2 offers an eerie visual banquet, brimming with tension at every corner.

Gold Trophy: Metaphor: ReFantazio
In Metaphor: ReFantazio, Atlus’ art team seems to have shed traditional constraints, resulting in an RPG that stands out visually from start to finish. While the graphics might not be flawless, the fundamental artistic elements shine through. From the exquisite character designs and portraits, to the breathtaking menus and visual enhancements, this game is nearly as captivating and evocative as modern role-playing games get. Artistically, it’s almost a masterpiece on the brink of perfection.

Platinum Trophy: Persona 3 Reload
Having incredible art direction is one thing, but marrying that sublime sense of style to excellent in-game graphics is what sets Persona 3 Reload apart. This remake takes the tone of the original Persona 3 and refines it to a seriously impressive degree. Reload is a ridiculously good-looking game across all areas, whether you’re exploring high school corridors or blasting shadows with magical abilities — and in typical Atlus fashion, the menus, 2D assets, and combat overlays are obsessively crafted.
We’d go as far to say that this is one of the best-looking RPGs ever released.
