I'm caught between Cuphead and Muramasa, myself.
Of the games I played:
Monkey Island
Heroes of Might and Magic 3
Rayman Legends
Beneath a steel sky
Micro machines
Muramasa
And a bit of cheating, because these are actually 3D-engines rendering, although it is 2D-gameplay (this means lighting effects):
Trine
Octopath traveler
The crown goes to Hyper Light Drifter. Its top-down style and the atmosphere and the art make it something else.
Runners up go to Axiom Verge for its retro look (and cool-as-hell box art), and Rayman Legends for its whimsy and animations.
I think GRIS was one of the most beautiful 2D games I played.
But I never played Ori so I may change my mind if it comes to switch and I can try it one day!
Rayman was quite good looking too but in a less poetic way than GRIS.
Now that MS and Ninty are buddies, here's hoping Ori follows in the footsteps of Cuphead and makes its way over to the Switch.

Yeah I'm grabbing Trine 4 day 1 also. The difficulties you're having with the Trilogy pack are probably cos the team isn't quite finished porting Trine 3 yet; it's proving more difficult than the first two as it was made for 2015 PCs and PS4 while the first two were made for PS3/360 and PCs of 2010-2012. As of two days ago Frozenbyte tweeted that they don't have a solid release date yet as a result, but are "working hard to make it happen as soon as possible. Stay tuned". |
Makes sense, cheers for the update. Gamestop in the US still has a release date of the end of July for the game but time will tell whether they hit that target..
Oh, I remember anothe rone that had great looking graphic for the time on DOS. One Must Fall 2097:
Many mentioned sidescrolling games aren't 2d games.
Ori and the Blind Forest looks stunning in stereoscopic 3d.
Though I often see them criticized as having "aged badly" I feel the SNES Donkey Kong Country games deserve a mention. Their worlds have such a great feeling of moody atmosphere.
It's really hard to find screens that aren't tiny or of very poor quality though.
