Low Poly is being used as the art style for an increasing number of games. They're not just ripping off Playstation graphics though. Let Josh take you on a journey to explore where the aesthetic came from, why people are using it now, and how it is being evolved for modern games! Hopefully you'll find a low poly game you like to look of in the process!
