I don't think the reception was mixed because it was NES like graphics.  Hotline Miami was highly rated afterall. 

Retro City Rampage looked good and it had some good controls for the mechanics, but the mission design and everything was just incredibly boring.  The one thing I did like in RCR was the Runner mini game, and I actually like that better than the actual game.  I don't like the actual game because the colors in the actual game don't clash with one another so and it was so common to miss a jump pad  that blended into the background, making the whole game far more reliant on memorization than skill.

Oh, I'm not under the impression that it was because of the graphics. I'm well aware that people like you just have bad taste in games!

But I'd forgotten about the Bit Trip arcade game. That might have been even less fun than the tailing mission.

Well I like Hotline Miami, Yakuza, etc.  I have bad taste though, so they're just shitty games. 

I think it's more like you have bad taste in games but there's an awesome game here and there that you like.  Retro City Rampage is not one of those awesome games.  It's one of those games that the developer put a lot of time and work into, but despite being able to make a game, doesn't know how to make a good game.
