Video game box art is the first thing a player sees when they see your game. Therefore, it should draw the person in to pick up the pox and flip it around to find out more. The importance of video game box design cannot be overlooked, and another important aspect of game development is background design. Exploring different design game background ideas can completely change the experience of a game. It’s not just about the visual design, but how these backgrounds can increase a player’s engagement with the game and improve their experience. As with box art, backgrounds should be exciting and relevant, triggering the player to get deeper into the game’s world. The variety of background concepts and their relevance to the game’s theme can be just as important as choosing the right game art studio. But unfortunately, nobody on the list of 25 games we are going to review today has done so.
