What are your favorite "ugly" games? (lemmy.ml)

I enjoy Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup played in the terminal with ASCII graphics. I wonder whether there are other hidden gems out there which don't get attention because they are "ugly"?

Not sure about ugly, but Stardew Valley's graphics are pretty basic. Great game though.

I think the graphics of stardew valley are pretty beautiful, it's really well done pixel art.

In my opinion, it's okay. It's pixel art that does its job of depicting things the player can recognize. It just looks bad. The colours in particular are... not pleasant.
