As I play older games, even ones I didn't play before sometimes 20/30 years after they released originally, I think I have no problem in this regard. I often care less about great graphics. On the contrary, I sometimes feel in this day and age developers rely too much on shiny graphics and forget deep engaging gameplay and also a soul to their games. Therefore I have no problem playing game with aged graphics, as long as it offers other qualities.

My problems with older games usually are less to do with graphics and more to do with user interface. New games are streamlined and easy to understand, old games are clunky and hard to navigate. This only really applies to RPG's and Strategy games.

is #38 Valkyria Chronicles?

Yeah, controls are also a thing. I am not adverse to remasters adding quality of life improvements. But despite all that, older games can have qualities I miss in many newer games. A certain soul. You can feel if a developer pours it heart into it or if it is just a by the numbers sequel to make money. As the industry got more professional and more popular so more money can be made we got more of the second variety, but thankfully still devs exist that create the first category of games.

And yes, #38 is Valkyria Chronicles, VC4 specifically (as I put in the hint).
