Let's talk about this, because it is one of my all time favorite aesthetics to explore and view. Biomech horror (specifically of the Japanese variety), prime examples of what I'm referring to:
Baroque
Observer
Dread Delusion
Hibernaculum
Garage: Bad Dream Adventure
Elemental Gearbolt (PS1)
Volfoss (PS1)
Galerians (PS1)
Hellnight (PS1)
Nemu Lu Mayu - Sleeping Cocoon (PS1)
Darkseed
Lust From Beyond
Scorn
Axiom Verge
Golden Light
Alien Crush
R-Type
Angel's Gear
Notable mention of:
Koudelka (PS1)
SMT games, they have a lot of influence here sometimes
Wizardry Dimguil, it's more dark fantasy than the others with some INSANE creature designs
Phantasy Star, FF final bosses, Contra, anything Berserk/FromSoft
Specifically Baroque + Garage grab the aesthetic more than anything else I've played and I wish there was more adaptation of crazy grotesque influenced grime + cable aesthetic. Basically anything as a direct video game influence of any Tsukomoto or Yoshihiro Nishimura movie, with a splash of Akira. I have been researching into this genre for years now and I feel I have maybe covered everything and there is nothing left to find, so PLEASE let me know your suggestions! I love this art style and I want as much of it as there is left. Hibernaculum looks fantastic and I can't wait for its release.
