Aesthetics

While having a brief look into the aesthetics of games I came across this website:

There is some very interesting stuff on there and he really makes you realize how important the aesthetics of our game will be. 
To me this paragraph really gets the message across as to how the aesthetics can really make or break the users fun while playing the game

"Ignoring aesthetics in the design and creation of a game or the use of gamification techniques reduces the overall experience of the players. The space in which the game is played becomes boring without aesthetics. Rich visuals, simple contrasts or colorful backdrops create an immersive environment that contributes to the overall game experience. The aesthetics help the player become caught up in the game experience. The artistry and design becomes compelling."

This is made me realize that I would really like to put in a lot of effort into our games aesthetics in order to enhance the players experience.
