So recently I was thinking how games with pixel art graphics are popular nowadays, and I was wondering if there are new games being made with other kinds of “retro” graphics, for example, games that look like the PS1 or PS2 eras.
So not exactly a full game or released just yet, but Bloodborne Kart has that retro look and is based on a modern series. Seems like a cool and funny concept and wanted people to know about it.
Signalis, released in 2022 is a great survival horror with very similar gameplay to resident evil and I feel very successfully recreates the PS1 aesthetic.
I’ve been enjoying Signalis. It’s a survival horror game with a top down 2.5d perspective and a late ps1-early ps2 graphics style. It’s very reminiscent of the older Resident Evil games where ammo is scarce(more or less is available based on difficulty), inventory space is limited(adjustable limits are available in settings), and there are specific rooms with a storage container where you can store items and save your game (there is no autosave or checkpoint system; you have to manually save your game), but it very much feels like it’s own thing.
I picked it up on a whim when looking for games with female protagonists to play on a new-to-me hand-me-down Steam Deck, and it happens to run perfectly on it.
Well, Lunistice, Paeudoregalia, Corn Kidz 64, and Cavern of Dreams are now all on my list because the screenshots make them look like fun games to play.

The display settings actually let you make it MORE pixelated if you want.
Wrestling Empire is a good throwback wrestling game. It really reminds me of No Mercy on N64.
Someone remade parts of Bloodborne in a PS1 style. The controls are fairly clunky but it’s as legit as they come.
Lillith’s releasing Bloodborne Kart later this month, too!
Is it truly being released I’ve been waiting for so long T.T

Does N64 look count? Corn Kidz 64
Crow Country has the pre-rendered backgrounds & popeye arms aesthetics of ff7, but then you rotate the camera and its all 3d

There’s been a recent boom in retro-style 3D platformers, so there’s no shortage of good options to choose from:
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
Lunistice
Pseudoregalia
Toree 3D and the rest of the Toree series
Frogun
Corn Kidz 64
Cavern of Dreams
Upcoming:
Toree Saturn
The Big Catch
DoubleShake (technically 2.5d)
There are more, but these are the ones I can think of.
Well, Lunistice, Paeudoregalia, Corn Kidz 64, and Cavern of Dreams are now all on my list because the screenshots make them look like fun games to play.
Thanks everyone!! This is more than I expected. Lots of promising stuff! I will look into each and every one of your suggestions.
(Since it’s a bit silly to reply to every single comment the same thing, I’m just putting this one here)
Valheim with all the modern shit like bloom, tiltshift and with the vegetation detail at medium is very PS2y, imho
