I'm not sure I agree with the examples given in this topic, but there are definitely some games I've seen or played in the last couple years that I just find offputting because of their artistic style. I've noticed this especially when people talk about "pixel graphics" recently. When I think of pixel graphics, I tend to think of things that remind of the SNES, like CrossCode. When other people say pixel graphics today, they seem to mean really grainy, heavily pixellated games that look like Hyper Light Drifter but without the exceptional use of color.
Only the exceptions can be exceptional.
