      Man I feel like mirrors edge was a cult classic, my firat game on ps3 and one of my favorites. It was such a different game and the art and music were amazing.

      Mirror’s Edge is not steampunk. It was futuristic with strong primary colors, and the aesthetic was consistent throughout the entire game including the HUD and menus. That’s why it looks like the image on the right.

        doesn’t have to be steampunk, the meme was playing on the fact that games used to have really over-the-top HUDs back in the 2000s

          Wooshed? It’s pretty obvious that the image on the right is not only minimalist, it’s also “modern” with the sans-serif font. You assume you could do a minimalist steampunk HUD.
