Pixel art has a strong cult following and for good reason. It is nostalgic and oh-so pretty. The pixel art genre creates games that are fun, beautiful and heartfelt\u2026or deep, depressing and harsh. The fact they can get this across in a group of discernible squares is just incredible. Because of the style pixel art games do not rely on graphics, they tend to put the focus on an immersive story or on great game mechanics.<\/p><p><\/p><p>Here is out list of the best modern pixel art games.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><h3>10. To The Moon<\/h3><div data-youtube-video=\"\"><iframe class=\"youtube\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sqkJuSV-23U\"><\/iframe><\/div><p><\/p><p>To the moon is a heartfelt, story-driven experience that follows 2 doctors as they travel back through a dying mans memories in order to fulfil his dying wish. It is as happy as it sounds. This is not for the action-heavy lot of you out there, this is story only and it is wonderful. The doctors travel through the mans memories and unlock fragments to reveal why his dying wish was to go to the moon.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><h3>9. Vampire Survivors<\/h3><div data-youtube-video=\"\"><iframe class=\"youtube\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A8-b2472Q6o\"><\/iframe><\/div><p><\/p><p>The complete opposite of the number 10 on our list. In Vampire Survivors you mow through thousands of vampires and monsters. It\u2019s minimalist, fast and a lot of fun. The point is to survive as long as possible, unlock upgrades that allow you to dismantle everything in your path. If you are looking for instant action and classic game play, this is for you.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><h3>8. Enter The Gungeon<\/h3><div data-youtube-video=\"\"><iframe class=\"youtube\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OMh0tw0bADs\"><\/iframe><\/div><p><\/p><p>Enter The Gungeon is a shooter dungeon crawler and the goal is to find the gun that can\u2026kill the past? Sure, why not! Anyway, what is really enjoyable about this game is it blends meticulously well designed rooms within a procedurally generated labyrinth. The action is great, gameplay on point, it does not take itself too seriously and it will keep you entertained for hours with the constant enemies, traps and new dungeons.<\/p><p><\/p><h3>7. Dead Cells<\/h3><div data-youtube-video=\"\"><iframe class=\"youtube\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RvGaSPTcTxc\"><\/iframe><\/div><p><\/p><p>A more modern interpretation of the pixel graphic genre but a brilliant addition to the family. Before you start please note, there are no save points. If you die, you start again. The idea is fight, die, learn, repeat. The action packed platformer has constant upgrades, an evolving castle and mechanics that are as enjoyable as ever in a roguelite game. It is unforgiving, but if you have the patience then it is a blast. It also has plenty of awards under its belt so that means it must be good, right?<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><h3>6. Eastward<\/h3><div data-youtube-video=\"\"><iframe class=\"youtube\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XtBwr5PSZCc\"><\/iframe><\/div><p><\/p><p>A mute elderly man and a super energetic little girl go on an adventure. It is how all great stories start! Eastward has a strong steampunk and almost Legend of Zelda vibe to it, so will feel familiar to old-timers. You explore the world outside your community after the world was ravaged by a virus. It is a very nostalgic piece but with all the mod cons, lovely characters and great puzzles.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><h3>5. Stardew Valley<\/h3><div data-youtube-video=\"\"><iframe class=\"youtube\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ot7uXNQskhs\"><\/iframe><\/div><p><\/p><p>This is one of the most popular pixel art games, and for good reason. Amazing world creation and characters you will fall in love with. It is the perfect game to unwind to. The characters will help and you will help them in return. You run your farm, learn to live off the land and help your fellow neighbour.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><h3>4. Undertale<\/h3><div data-youtube-video=\"\"><iframe class=\"youtube\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1Hojv0m3TqA\"><\/iframe><\/div><p><\/p><p>Undertale has a massive cult following, both back when it was released and still to this day. Lovable characters and some of the worst puns you have ever heard just make Undertale a joy to play. A unique element to this game is that there are multiple endings that are dependent on your choices, the game remembers your previous playthroughs and choices for when want to play again. So even a second time through the game is just as fun.<\/p><p><\/p><h3>3. World of Horror<\/h3><div data-youtube-video=\"\"><iframe class=\"youtube\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wzTLPpAQpF8\"><\/iframe><\/div><p><\/p><p>Forget 32-bit, 16-bit and even 8-bit, we are going all the way back to 1-bit. World of horror is a game that is surprisingly terrifying. They get a lot out of the 1-bit design. An immersive and intense story in this point and click story game. The 1-bit black and white theme combined with the strong elements of Japanese horror make this game an underrated stand out.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><h3>2. Terraria<\/h3><div data-youtube-video=\"\"><iframe class=\"youtube\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w7uOhFTrrq0\"><\/iframe><\/div><p><\/p><p>Terraia is like a 2D Minecraft, the possibilities are endless. You can craft, build fight and explore. There are some crazy boss fights too. It is a few years old at this stage but what makes this game so great is the infinite possibilities this game holds, explore as far as you want and build whatever you imagination can come with.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><h3>1. Papers Please<\/h3><div data-youtube-video=\"\"><iframe class=\"youtube\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_QP5X6fcukM\"><\/iframe><\/div><p><\/p><p>Probably not what you expected at number 1, unless you have played it. If you have not, it is unlike anything else you have ever played, and even if I explain it to you, you probably won\u2019t even want to play it. Basically, you are a bureaucrat. You work on the border of the nation of Arstotzka and your job is to ensure those crossing the border have all their papers in order. BUT\u2026your family\u2019s survival hangs in the balance. Each day there are different rules and you may have to sway your morals to succeed. The game\u2019s bleak colours and laboured movements make you feel trapped in a deadend monotony\u2026.just like being a real bureaucrat!<\/p><p><\/p><p>That is our list, but you may disagree and scream at us through the screen.
