Indie games using retro graphics - eviltoast

Two examples of this are :

Penny’s big breakaway and DUSK from the top of my head.

I’m not sure about you but I think the rise of indie games going with the PS1 aesthetic and other low gfx easy to run games is that the past, despite its flaws, was much better.

I also think there’s a charm with low polygon games and spritework ones, it’s your imagination that fills in the gaps.

And lastly, I think of the simpler times when you play modern indie “retro” games, no bullshit, you pay the devs, you get your game, everyone is happy.

What are your thoughts on indie games going for that nostalgia feel? Any examples to cite?

    New update: I’m like 4 hours in and so far loving this game. It is clearly early elder scrolls inspired but it stands on its own. Very happy to be playing it
