Top rated retro games
Chunky pixels and tight controls tie these top rated retro games together, and you can feel it across very different adventures. Stardew Valley lets you tend fields and get to know a small town at your own rhythm, Terraria drops you into a blocky underground to shape and defend as you choose, and Pizza Tower keeps you sprinting and smashing through odd monster-filled floors. Each one borrows looks and rules from older eras while giving you something direct to do with your hands right now.
