The ultimate argument that style IS substance. The style of Killer7 bleeds out into every single facet of the game. The original control style, the addictive combat loop, the incredibly loose, fascinating narrative, and of course the outstanding graphical style.

This is a game from 2005 that would still be ahead of its time if it was released in 2020. There is so much in this game thematically in regards to identity, the war on terror and the melding of cultures in the internet age that makes it remain relevant in the way only the best works in this medium can. One of the games I can most comfortably call a masterpiece.
