How I feel now everytime I load up a new 8bit indie game. I want those kinds of game mechanics. I want those style of games from the perspective of playstyle. I do not enjoy 8bit graphics.

My experience has been that 8-bit on the consoles in the 1980s is very different from 8-bit in most indie games right now.

The art direction in old games felt more polished and easier to look at.

Yeah. I have a similar experience. Those developers were working pretty hard within the constraints of the mediums they were working with and they made some truly amazing stuff as a result. I feel like 8bit is an attempt at nostalgia in new games and it doesn't land for me. I know I'm probably in the minority. That's okay though.
