I am really craving a game similar to vampire survivors. It’s just so good and I cannot stop playing it but i need to take a break lol
Stardew Valley and Undertale. I also loved Duelyst, but it’s no longer around.
Celeste and Shovel Knight are may favorite semi-recent games. I’m always game for A Link to the Past though.
Céleste is one of my go-to comfort Games. Controls are crisp af, the music is fantastic, the gameplay loop is neat. It’s a wonderful game, it deserves its fame.
What’s the best entry point to Shovel Knight these days? Do I have to buy the treasure trove? Any cheaper options to get a taste of it?
I got it in a Humble bundle years ago for a relatively low price before the expansions and got those for free when they came out. I can’t speak much for the value of the current $40 price tag, but I certainly got my money’s worth.
The original game now called “Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope” is well worth the $15 on steam for the standalone first installment though, if you aren’t looking to spend too much. Most folks do recommend getting Treasure Trove but I found I really didn’t play the expansions much myself anyway.
Thanks! I will keep an eye on sales for both the bundle and Shovel of Hope.
Realm of the Mad God is super replayable and addicting. Love it to death and it’s absolutely worth what I paid for it on sale.
Noita is kind of niche but it’s really a fun time. Easy to pick up and put down.
I played that almost as much as dead cells.
Gotta be hotline Miami. I described it to my brother as John wick/the punisher with original grand theft auto graphics.
I’m not sure if it is truly considered a pixel art game, but I still love Terraria.
Recently started a new playthrough with my friend after about 10 years since last playing, its crazy how much stuff is in this game
Carrion. I’ve never played a pixel art reverse stealth game where the player is the horrible monster. and I bet you haven’t either!
Evoland. You start in the 2D 4 color era, then the 8 bit era, level up to 16 bit, then 32 bit. It takes you all the way from 4 color games to 3D rendering. It’s super cheap on Steam, and there is a sequel too if you like it.
I have it on my android but I haven’t played it yet. Thanks for the reminder!
Right now loop hero is a great time waster. I can play it when I’m idle working.
Don’t think this is exactly what you’re asking, but among actual old games, A Link to the Past and Super Metroid are both highly playable and highly replayable pixel graphics games.
Does Duck Game, Freeways, and TowerFall count?
Check our Risk of Rain (trailer). Amazing soundtrack!
Everhood for a good pixel game, but it’s not really comparable to much other than a weird acid trip. The Steam reviews are a good indicator for the vibes and a good laugh.
Enter the Gungeon, fun times and great replay potential.
