      I also think it’s a nice-looking game. The graphics help convey the setting really well, IMO. I really enjoyed it.

        Right? The graphic choice tells me what I’m getting, and they somehow made it pretty. There could be more signs telling me to play it, but I don’t really need them.

      For me, “primitive” is not the main problem (though I’m getting a bit sick of pixel art), it’s more blue-green hue is off-putting. It might match the theme of an alien planet, but it lokks like it would give me headache or something.

      Yeah, there’s a definite Commodore 64 aesthetic to it, but it feels like every pixel is meaningful. It’s all just detailed enough to be able to tell what’s going on.

      Well Rogue did come out 45 years ago. 35 years ago was around the end of the NES/start of SNES generation.
