Video game graphics are nowhere near their peak—and Fatekeeper proves it

A few weeks ago, I accidentally became aware of Fatekeeper, and as soon as I saw those screenshots, I immediately knew something big was in the works. Developed by a very small team, Fatekeeper is one of the best-looking games I’ve ever played and proves video game graphics have a lot of progress left in the tank.

The game came out in early access yesterday, June 2, for the low, low price of around 10 bucks. Yes, you read that right: a game with AAA graphics and gameplay costs less than a fast food combo in 2026, though there is a small catch. The game is, as I noted, in early access, meaning its content, campaign, and mechanics remain rather limited compared to what the developers want to achieve with it.
