I know.  It's all opinion but somehow, even trying to be retro, those newer games (like my beloved Cave Story) feel new.  Can't explain it.


I mean, Cave Story doesn't work under NES restrictions like games like Shovel Knight or Retro City Rampage try to do. Cave Story and Hyper Light Drifter looks better than even SNES games graphically speaking, because they aren't holding themselves to those constraints. Those use like PS1 level sprite art. They aren't even worth comparing, and are definitely not "retro." It's just typical pixel art. Comparing it is as fair as me sating that this:

Looks better than other retro NES games. Like, obviously it would.
