Metro: Most games choose only retro or modern graphics, but this indie platformer attempts to show the entire evolution of gaming in one go. Gaming has always had an awkward relationship with its past. As prevalent as HD remasters are at the moment, theyre clearly only a quick and dirty attempt to prop up empty release schedules. Normally publishers will abandon older games as soon as a more profitable alternative arises, in favour of either a new sequel or a more fashionable genre. As a result it only tends to be indie games that celebrate older gameplay and art styles, and nowhere is that adulation louder than with A Pixel Story.
