Games with Hand-Drawn Art Styles
A list of games that utilize beautiful hand-drawn art styles. I am only including games where the main in-game graphics are hand-drawn (or at least largely hand-drawn).
A few exclusions:
- Game's where hand-drawn art only in shown in cutscenes or character portraits will be excluded.
- Pixel art games, despite how gorgeous they can be and how intricate the designs can be (ie. Owlboy), will be excluded.
Open to suggestions and recommendations!

Mundaun does it with that pencil look
Great list! Okami comes to mind although it might not fit because I don't know if the art is actually hand-drawn, or it's just carefully designed to look that way.
Thanks @cowboyjosh! I struggled with Okami when putting the list together for the same reason you mentioned. I figure it's close enough though. Added!
Oh man how did I forget Day of the Tentacle! I was literally just playing this game last night. I see you've got one of the Monkey Island games but IMO that whole Tim Schafer era of LucasArts with stuff like Full Throttle, Sam & Max and maybe even Broken Age are all great picks.
In kind of the same vein I think the Dragon's Lair series definitely deserves a mention.

Thanks for the extra recommendations @cowboyjosh! No idea how I missed all those. Especially Pentiment! I was looking at footage of that game just the other day.
Just found out about Greak: Memories of Azur which would probably fit here.
The upcoming Ruffy and the Riverside is a great example.
Rayman Origins should be here since Legends is.
Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap
Shantae: Half Genie Hero and Seven Sirens
