Perhaps it's nostalgia or the appearance compared to other art styles, but pixel art tends to get a bad rap. It's cheap. It's ugly. It's outdated, retro, over-used, etc. etc., I'm sure you've seen all manner of comments regarding pixel art or perhaps even posted some yourself.
I tend to disagree. My retro was PSX era; I never played a game with pixel art till only about a decade ago. Honestly, it's one of my favorite art styles for some of my favorite games, a versatile aesthetic that can callback to gaming eras of the past or impress with modern elements like physics and lighting and smooth animations.
So let's appreciate pixel art and the games that use it. Here are some, both currently available and in development
The Last Night
Rain World
Do Not Cross
Sarcia
Death's Gambit
Slain
Megasphere
Crawl
Stranded
Dungeon of the Endless
Witchmarsh
Noct
Drift Stage
Deadbolt
Hyper Light Drifter
Wizard of Legend
Children of Morta
