| JEMC said: Oh, I'm not talking about games like Stardew Valley or Starbound. I'm perfectly fine with the graphics of those games (and SV would be more like 16-bit rather than 8). I'm mainly talking about those games that, with the excuse of using an 8-bit or retro style, are made by lazy people and have ugly graphics. I'd like to post an example, but I don't remember any now. |
Really depends on the game for me.
I can happily smash Super Metroid in a couple of hours and enjoy the art style all through the game.
But give me something like Fez? It's a no from me.
I can happily play a retro-inspired game like Minecraft... But shoot me if it's something like Prison Architect.
Some games the retro-styled graphics fits in well, others it's just a tacky, lazy approach and it adds and does absolutely nothing to the game itself.
