Cheat Code Central's Austin Wood writes: "Admit it, you know exactly what this articles title is talking about, as stereotypical as it is. No matter the moniker, be it artsy, ethereal, or my personal favorite, hipster gaming, we all know whats being referred to. Developers like Team Ico kick-started this sort of genre (or at least got it more attention) in the PlayStation 2 days with ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, both of which are widely known as brilliant games. However, there is also a sizeable portion of players and reviewers who called the games repetitive and disinteresting. Despite this, simple, ambiance-heavy games have remained popular in our current generation thanks to new IPs like Journey, flOw, and the fabled Last Guardian, as well as through the flourishing indie market. This makes one wonder what these games actually have to offer."
