I'm more interested in what happened to art direction in video games. Spyro is an absolutely beautiful game thanks to its use of color and building architecture. 99% of games in the past 15 years struggle to make something that is clear, readable to the player, and is just plain visually appealing. You can even see this in remakes or remasters of some games that just look worse than their originals.

Just look at what Spyro reignited did to the Magic Crafters' homeworld. The colors are all fucked, there's this fog or haze over everything, the rocks are just jagged and covered in snow all the way down that overly complicates the scene. It's just bad.
