: Re: "unique-looking" vs "look unique" I'm writing a text and there is a part of it that's making me uneasy. I'm talking about gameworlds with unique art styles as opposed to worlds that look realistic.

The difference between the two is primarily a matter of emphasis. The final word of a sentence or phrase tends to stay in the reader's memory for longer, so gives a little more weight.

In this case, if you want to emphasize that you're talking about worlds, "unique-looking worlds" is better. If you'd prefer to emphasize the uniqueness, "worlds that look unique" achieves that more. In case you really have no preference, the former is shorter so should probably be preferred, all other things being equal.

Because this is the end of a phrase, it is less important than the end of a sentence; the end of a paragraph or section would be even more important.
