Guild Wars 2 is the successor to the critically acclaimed online RPG, Guild Wars. It features a dynamic world and has a living well-detailed art that is hard to come these days. Most of its effects, especially when it comes to the characters’ abilities, are like paint strokes that blast with colors every time it’s executed. There are an ebb and flow on everything that moves, giving it a realistic and artistic touch, without the need to feature characters with blown-out proportions and customizations.

Although some may say Warframe is an online RPG game, its features, such as the multiplayer mode and cooperative gameplay, are starting to steer in the direction of MMO. In Warframe, the player takes control of a Tenno, an individual from an ancient race of warriors who have just awoken from years of cryosleep, and now must fight a war with the Grineer. Its main point is how its graphics looks stunning with such fluid despite its fast gameplay, providing “explosive” effects completed with its art style.
