Could a 2D game be considered as a masterpiece of the video game medium?

HLD was pretty fuckin' sweet. The creator is a total soyboy though

Yes, but not that one.

...

most indie developers are

Hollow Knight

You would think he wouldn't be because the game isn't your usual indie "story oriented walking simulator" trash

Being competent doesn't magically exclude you from being a faggot.

Of course.

well if he went to the gym his heart would explode

graphics are bad xD

Pure gameplay games aren't that good either, they can hook you for hours just by mechanics but if there is no real purpose in it, you get tired of it, eventually.

This is 3D with an orthographic camera.

My nigga. 11/10 game right here

>orthographic

Gameplay/music/storytelling is pretty terrible too, honestly.

lol no

I'm proud to be a brainlet. I don't need your (you).

Why is everything in elder god tier and god tier pure garbage?

Where's Rainworld on that list? Personally I'd put it in God Tier but I know its not for everyone.

Terraria and Salt & Sanctuary aren't Metroidvanias. Also, La Mulana is ugly, controls poorly, and has bad level design.

If you look at the timeline of videogames 3D has only been around for less than half of it. Someone those earlier 2d games still influence game design so yes.
