Hachi
People know I love pixel art and I think Bloodstained Curse of the Moon 2 is gorgeous, but I won't pretend 8-bits pixel art is an acquired taste. Unless your character has a very simple design created to play around the limitations it's hard to make stuff that looks appealing. Yes, I can recognize a corgi there but I'm mostly pulling the image from corgis on my brain and putting splashing over that small pile of pixels. My imagination is doing part of the work and this is fine but I can totally see someone just seeing the pixels and rolling their eyes.
Bloodstained was released for Switch and Steam and I recommend it if you like old school Castlevania.
By the way, I just tag Bloodstained has Castlevania because they are the same for me.

About the previous comic.
While 8-bit pixel art doesn't look good on screenshots and they don't inspire or awe, they work for me and for many others. While I'll not have a poster of 8-bit Hachi in my room my mind fills the blanks and I picture a lovable corgi doing lovable corgi things.
It helps me played my fair share of NES games so I am used to it. Plus nostalgia is a thing.
Also, I always find pixel art easier on the eyes. Many times on the 3d Bloodstained I felt the screen overloaded and busy with enemies full of details I could not really read because they were so small.
My point is there are advantages to pixel art and if it all fails, there is always nostalgia.

Are you happy now?
I decided to give No Man Sky another try and it's amazing how much stuff been added to the game. I still think some core gameplay issues does exist but they at least filled the game with more things to do than farming anti-matter for your hyperdrive.
