Rock of Ages jumps out as an obvious one for me.

Apotheon comes to mind.

This is what I would suggest. Very unique art style and still memorable all these years later.

I had no idea this existed and I can’t believe I never heard of it when it’s so unique! Is it actually a good game, too?

It has been quite a while since I played it, but I remember it being pretty good but with a combat system that takes some getting used to.

The style I suspect that you’re thinking of, if you’re talking about the stuff on pottery, is one of:

That, or maybe something like Roman frescoes or mosaics:

One area of The Talos Principle is set in Greco-Roman ruins. It captues a very specific tone. The puzzles are fun too

Any of the Joe Richardson games are obvious picks.

  • Four Last Things
  • A Procession of Cavalry
  • Death of the Reprobate
