Modern games that feel like they belong in a earlier era

Yeah, I always hear souls design being praised as some new thing but I just think, what about Crash Bandicoot? Wasn't that souls before souls, hell even the apples are sort of like souls. 

Souls, at least to me, is a prettier NES game.  Punishing levels, tough bosses and limited check points.

I think the praise is because most of gaming was going accessibility and souls went in the other direction.

Exactly. That's why Demon souls was such a shock to people, every game at the time had an easy mode, QTE sections for major events, automatic saving. Souls just Brought back Medroid Vania and done it well... aside from Demon souls, which I still believe the original game is way too janky to be held in such high regards.
