Games: Pixel Graphics

Pixel-art games are not "old" graphics but an artists' choice: cozy farms, grim metroidvanias, retro RPGs and horror where pixels scare harder than ultra- realism. This style has long become a full-fledged aesthetic, and the best projects draw with pixels things beyond modern 3D polygons. A practical plus: such games are almost always light and run on any hardware. The section holds both fresh indie hits and decade-tested classics. Check the screenshots: pixel is not like pixel, and reviews will tell you what exactly each game is loved for.
