Relentlessly Stylish
A list of games whose style can't be denied. Whether through its characters' fashion, over the top action, a stand-out UI, striking sound design, or the overall presentation, these titles can't be judged just based on their story and gameplay alone; they're elevated by being cool. Or at least, what I think is cool lol

A cinematic SquareSoft beat 'em up where Tetsuya Nomura goes absolutely nuts with his character designs. The big bad is blonde Sephiroth in overalls, the soundtrack is in-your-face, and overall the game is short, sweet, silly and stylish.
A jazzy, poetic street racing RPG, complete with a Final Fantasy style world map that you drive around and get into random battles in (which are races that begin after an FFVIII-style screen wipe). Plenty of racer punks with interesting style, a super cool UI, and an amazing soundtrack

but 3 has way better visuals and cinematics, plus the replay feature and tekken ball/force modes
also where is ninja gaiden?
Vagrant Story and maybe FFXII
Both TWEWY games absolutely fit the bill
i'd nominate every supergiant game to a degree, but transistor and pyre more so than the rest
Not sure if you're even taking recommendations on this so if not, cool list and feel free to disregard! But I'd say if Max Payne 1 & 2 are on here than 3 might be too, given that it's even more aggressive about its styling, though in a different direction
@SuperSpeedRaven @C_F @PKMudkipz @Midrulean @Lynxelot @DJSCheddar, excellent points and suggestions, added some of those!
