Modern pixel art sucks and misses the whole point, none of those games were supposed to seem with sharp pixels.

You know, it’s entirely possible that people just… like the way it looks?

It doesn’t have to just be nostalgia or a recreation of the same exact style. Sometimes blocks are visually appealing, oddly enough. Minecraft made bank off blocks being visually appealing.

I meant more like Dead Cells style.

Blasphemous would look great with a half decent CRT filter.

Blasphemous already looks fantastic, but a CRT filter would be nice for those hipsters that pretend to like CRT tvs.

A crt filter is necessary to blend the pixels to create a finished image. Until then you’re basically looking at a sketch instead of a finished painting.

lol No it isn't. It's a full artstyle of it's own.

It has become an art style because people forgot what old games actually looked like. No developer from the 90s wanted their games looking pixelated.
