The Messenger. Often gets compared to ninja gaiden (for good reason) but I actually got mega man X vibes from it. Awesome 2D platforming with metroidvania elements and a great gimmick. I also really loved Celeste and Katana Zero.

All three games have really responsive controls that feel great to use, which to me is the most important aspect of 2d games (outside of adventure/narrative games)
For games with similar gameplay, I'd recommend
- Brotato
- Renfield: Bring Your Own Blood
- Halls of Torment
For similar art style
- Children of Morta
- The Link to the Past PC port
- Carrion
Broforce, fun for up to four players.
Dome keeper!!
If you finish Dome Keeper and liked the concept, give Wall World a try next. I liked it even better!
Shattered Pixel Dungeon always draws me back in. And it's getting frequent updates as well. They even added a new character/class the other day.
Any of the Final Fantasy pixel remaster would be my answer. They are not like the newer remakes, they hold true to the originals with a face-lift.
It’s not pixelated but if you like Vampire Survivors you should totally check out Brotato!
I like Rimworld, trying to survive and build a functional lil town while keeping everyone alive. Eventually expanding enough to build a spaceship and escape the planet to win the game. I never have though I just put on lowest difficulty and watch my lil kitty people doodl about.
While it has simple graphics, Rimworld is not a pixel game. It is a great game, though!
Death Trash is an isometric openworld rpg, amazing pixel art. It features a post apocalyptic world with horrors, can be a bit gross sometimes tho. Very good Indie game.
Cave Story is always a fun time.
Paper Please. They tell multiple stories, some you can invest and follow or cut short with a simple button (DETAINED!). The gameplay is also interesting, having to maintain and follow all these little details reminds me of some brain training games. The comedic writing as well of some of the characters is also brilliant (looking at your Georgi).
It's still in early access, but Traveller's Rest is very relaxing and chill.
I really liked Zero Sievert. An extraction shooter with some nice missions. Also Wall World.
Children of Morta for me.
