my favourite covers
i just like them
As of 2023 this list is dumb and stupid because the covers I picked have all changed to worse ones. North America has both the arrogance of believing itself the centre of the world as well as valuing vulgar tastes when it comes to marketing foreign titles

I regret not showing this to my high school art teacher when we were studying De Chirico
Edit, found a workaround to the boneheaded decision of making the US cover the official one of the original 2001 release. Thank God and I will never forgive you igdb.

Inject it into my veins
C.D. Friedrich's Wanderer above the Sea of Fog
BUT AWESOME
BUT AWESOME
pretty colours :)
Just look at his shit eating grin
running in the pastel 70s
Bayonetta is just the coolest (not to diminish the NA cover, but the PAL cover is way better)
extremely cute
i don't know why but it's hypnotizing
Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan or The Matter, Forme and Power of a Commonwealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil (colorized, 2011)
I'm cheating beacuse Akira Toriyama is a genius and wins by virtue of being his mid-90s self
Raz's pose is cool, the spiral grabs your attention and draws it to him
instruction manual vibes
Somehow the game looks even better than the cover
BIG APE

the exaggerated swagger of a half-demon 30-year old
Edit: the accursed database has changed the cover art so it is 100 times less cool.
Edit 2, 26/10/22: the boxart is changed once again, the world's balance is restored

an image that sells a million copies by itself
This one goes so hard and is also a perfect incapsulation of the game's core themes
coolest thing ever. No co-op in the game though, false advetisement, 0/10
This is just cool
why am i such a sucker for Yoji Shinkawa's style?
Edit: comment makes no sense now!
