      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
