This is a trailer for Witcher 2, but notice the art style... Familiar?

That was pretty awesome. Whoever made this should get something.

W1 is great game.

W2 sucks ball.

W1 is a better game than W2.

To be frank, W2 only has better graphic.

Before a flame war starts, anyone care to comment about the visual similarities?

It's funny. I love the art direction and visual style of Darkest Dungeon. But I really disliked the animated cutscenes in Witcher 2.

Honestly? To me the styles seem more different than alike.

While they do both black in the area around the eyes and have fairly heavy lines, the line work itself is completely different.

The lines and fills in the Witcher trailer are smooth, for the most part, with some hatching here and there. Much like from a comic book. Everything in Darkest Dungeon has this chiseled look to it. The lines tend to be jagged and not uniform in width, the fills have rough edges.

That's just my take on it.

I'm no artist, but as I understand it... the technique used (black background, parts of the image left undrawn so it looks like they're in shadows) is the same, and since it's quite distinctive, images drawn in that style all look very similar, especially to the untrained eye.

Personally I enjoyed The Witcher more than The Witcher 2, though I did find all the walking around in The Witcher to often be excessive; it kinda felt like grinding.

Then again, The Witcher 2 irritated me to no end because I was always overencumbered... so much that I eventually gave up on crafting; I was tired of spending all my time worrying about how much the mats weighted.

Looking forward to The Witcher 3. They've had two games to iron out the wrinkles by now, should be pretty good.

The storyplot for Witch 1 is interesting. I like the combat for witcher 1

For topic answer. Art style seem similar to me and it's okay quality, but nothing special there.

W2 is not great because the game was unfinished. Only prologue and first big boss fight were really great. Beyond that, nothing special.
