Like every piece of artwork, gaming covers have to resemble the mood and the theme of the game. it’s meant to attract and lure people into buying the game — as kind of an advertising tactic. The more we look at gaming covers, the more we get entranced by how much work and effort was put into them. Sometimes we take the design aspect of it for granted, but seriously that shouldn’t be the case. I would full on be more attracted to buying a game if it had a really nice cover.

We have provided a full list of the best gaming covers available, and boy are some of them stunning. It’s sad that video game design hasn’t had much attention, as much as film or music, but hopefully that will change more. Some of these illustrators and designers have got serious talent.
