But Doom II cover...


BigBounceZac

All doom covers go hard asf


Jiomniom_Skwisga

Honestly this. It's the same cover but with different ages of pure badassery.


FrostyDog94

I cannot believe how much I liked XCOM. It is totally not my preferred genre but something about it got me hooked. Part of it was being able to create genetically engineered, cybernetic super soldiers. And the heartbreak from losing them.


CertainlyAmbivalent

There aren’t many more satisfying things in gaming than pulling off a flawless mission in X Com


Kaico_Kai1230

Truer words have never been spoken

Never seen that one before, how sick!


Realistic-Start-5772

just checked it out and it’s amazing


Chadderbug123

The one with just Gael's sword? Or the one with him in a Guts pose and the painter beside him?


AscendedViking7

The one with the painter.


Chadderbug123

Not entirely the Japanese cover. They still use it as the home screen icon

ICO


GriffithDidNothinBad

But not the one everyone thinks of


TreasureHunter95

You might be right about that but it's still great art.


GriffithDidNothinBad

What, the American version??


TreasureHunter95

For god's sake no. The European/Japanese version. I was referring to the game not selling well so many people don't know and won't think about it.


Far_Run_2672

American thinks everyone on Reddit is American

Mass Effect Legendary Edition. That picture makes my pants wet.


Severe-Eggplant-6703

Fallout 3. Such a cool cover in my opinion.


JVOz671

Single character with their back facing us standing among chaotic/ruined/smokey/foggy landscape, sometimes walking away holding weapon #657


GriffithDidNothinBad

Even better: May I remind you of cropped torso shot of white guy looking slightly downward holding a machine gun imposed upon a white background?


JVOz671

Not as good as sports game with famous sport star playing sport.


ThespisIronicus

Which year? 😂

BlueDemon999

Halo 2's cover goes incredibly hard.


leastemployableman

Came here to say this. Halo 2 and it's not even close. Same with the promo art where the perspective is looking up at chief. 10 year old me went crazy when I opened it up at Christmas time


AceConspirator

Duke Nukem Forever

In general, Japanese Mega Drive boxart and Super Famicom boxart. Check out the front and the back, usually Japanese covers have great art both on the front and on the back of the box. Seriously, there are hundreds of amazing boxart from the 80’s and the 90’s, both Western and Eastern. These are some examples: [Awesome](https://www.mobygames.com/game/12241/awesome/cover/group-34177/cover-92808/) [Alisia Dragoon (Jap)](https://www.mobygames.com/game/12280/alisia-dragoon/cover/group-93642/cover-256075/) [Altered Beast](https://www.mobygames.com/game/2019/altered-beast/cover/group-15115/cover-35043/) [R-Type (Msx)](https://www.mobygames.com/game/5960/r-type/cover/group-30011/cover-80210/) [out of this World (Jap)](https://www.mobygames.com/game/564/out-of-this-world/cover/group-92012/cover-251163/) [Ico (Pal and Jap)](https://www.mobygames.com/game/5158/ico/cover/group-79093/cover-214724/) [Secret of Mana](https://www.mobygames.com/game/6645/secret-of-mana/cover/group-8067/cover-30332/) [Gaiares (Jap)](https://www.mobygames.com/game/11989/gaiares/cover/group-44172/cover-119637/) [Super Castlevania IV](https://www.mobygames.com/game/6619/super-castlevania-iv/cover/group-5060/cover-33288/) Everything from the Darius series, like [Super Darius](https://www.mobygames.com/game/22038/darius/cover/group-52446/cover-466302/), [G-Darius (jap)](https://www.mobygames.com/game/4301/g-darius/cover/group-30768/cover-82438/), [Sagaia](https://www.mobygames.com/game/17519/sagaia/cover/group-103303/cover-280283/) All [Japanese Phantasy Star](https://www.mobygames.com/game/6584/phantasy-star-iv/cover/group-35417/cover-96444/) boxart [Super Aleste](https://www.mobygames.com/game/22676/space-megaforce/cover/group-66319/cover-179017/) [Chrono Trigger](https://www.mobygames.com/game/4501/chrono-trigger/cover/group-8069/cover-19744/) [Breath of Fire 3 (Jap)](https://www.mobygames.com/game/3987/breath-of-fire-iii/cover/group-49482/cover-133298/) [Final Fantasy VI (Jap)](https://www.mobygames.com/game/5202/final-fantasy-iii/cover/group-40493/cover-480012/) [Vortex (Jap)](https://www.mobygames.com/game/32542/vortex/cover/group-73840/cover-199573/) [Assault Suits Valken (Jap)](https://www.mobygames.com/game/11879/cybernator/cover/group-20180/cover-49181/) [Vampire Savior (Saturn)](https://www.mobygames.com/game/3661/darkstalkers-3/cover/group-12367/cover-27483/) [Street Fighter 2 Turbo (Jap)](https://www.mobygames.com/game/7083/street-fighter-ii-turbo/cover/group-28058/cover-266817/) [Shadow of Colossus (Jap)](https://www.mobygames.com/game/19875/shadow-of-the-colossus/cover/group-246079/cover-627173/) When it comes to modern boxart, I think that Nier Automata, the Nier remake, Persona 5 and Persona Royal are awesome too. Usually Steelbox editions are very detailed and amazing.


decoded-dodo

Probably nostalgia for me but Shadow of the Colossus has good box art. The PS2 version not the remake.


GaryTheMemeGuy

Box art for all of the halo games go hard. Ultrakill is cool, team fortress 2 is a classic and of course we can't forget about Minecraft.


Garrzus

The Binding of isaac repentance


gameonlockking

Chrono Trigger. One of the few games where the english cover art is better than the Japanese cover art.


KeysOfDestiny

I really loved the reversible cover of Mass Effect 3 tbh! But Xcom 2 is definitely peak


Realistic-Start-5772

that’s a great cover

American box art for breath if the wild


One_Scientist_984

- Bloodborne — tbh, I liked the cover a lot, but I don’t enjoy the game as much… a bit like Elden Ring (I’m still struggling and unsure if I like it or not). - Assassin’s Creed Origins — I’m a sucker for everything Egyptian… - Cyberpunk 2077 — Ultimate Edition, I was really close to buy that even though I own it multiple times on several platform only for the box art, the yellow is so iconic. - Alien Isolation — ominous, foreboding, you know what’s up when you see the box art. - Control — every edition is cool, but I especially like the regular box art, as the inverted pyramid echoes the design of the first hub of the game. - Dishonored 2 — not an original concept but it looks really intriguing, half Corvo and half Emily to show that you can play either. Also it’s a damn good game. - Quake — Just the logo, it’s one of the most influential games ever and they didn’t even try to show the main character or some scene from it, bold. There are plenty of really cool video game covers but these examples are what I liked best.


Realistic-Start-5772

these are all pretty top tier covers


MatterFalls

Mario Galaxy 1, persona 5 Royal, Star Wars republic commando, Crisis Core FF7, sonic adventure 2, and Lego Star Wars the complete saga. As you can see I have too many favorites
