It's pathetic how resources will need to be wasted on making a remastered version of something that doesn't even need it just so a new audience can participate in a mini hype cycle.

Maybe it won't be until we're 60 and we realize that the best games are the ones that stand the test of time, similar to movies. Too many people are still in their adolescent phase of gaming where the only things worth playing are the things released current year.

These graphics trends are basically the opposite for indie games. Look at Schedule 1 and STRAFTAT.

Abiotic Factor, which is a new open world survival game based on a mix of og Half-Life and SCP, so the graphics and models look like they come from the 90s or early 2000s.

Hands of Necromancy (and pretty much all other GZDoom games for that matter) all look like they came right out of 1996 - with the exception of Selaco. That game is actually beautiful.

Going Medieval has a slight pixel/voxel look to it.

There's also Ultracop, which I think is made by one person and also looks straight out of the 90s. It's also only like $2 and it's a decent time waster.

Pseudoregalia, Fly Knight, Lunacid, Verho, Dread Delusion, Nightmare Kart...

These are just from my own games list. I'm not sure why I even made this comment. Sort of a recommendations list I guess?
