My favorite thing about the rise of indie games is that it does feel like I’m getting some of that back that I felt was lost with the early move to 3D.
That said, I’m not necessarily into the pixel aesthetic; I want smooth, detailed art. I think Hollow Knight is one of the best-looking games I’ve ever seen, and I also loved stuff like Darkest Dungeon and Hades. I enjoyed Stardew Valley and Shovel Knight (possibly because they were direct analogues to early Story of Seasons and Mega Man), but stuff like Hyper Light Drifter and Lunark are not for me.
In JRPGs, I’m really looking forward to Unicorn Overlord and Eiyuden Chronicle.
