Octopath Traveler is how you do a HD 2D game

2D HD is just such a weird term. There's a bunch of 2D games that run in HD. I get that it's a marketing term but it's still weird.

The game is beautiful though

The only games I consider HD 2D is Octopath Traveler, Cosmic Star Heroine and Sonic Mania.

I'm sure there are more, but I dont count all the indies with the "fat pixel" look that abuse the retro term.

But if the resolution is HD, wouldn't they be HD 2D? It just seems so weird trying to give HD 2D a meaning other than 2D graphics with HD resolution.
