Was wondering if there is a Thread that is capturing a list of "modern retro games". I don't mean remakes/remasters (although it might include them), but other games like DUSK/Graven/Thimbleweed etc.

For a while there was so few of them but now the numbers are creeping up and I thought it would be worthwhile if such a thread exists.

IMO it should only include:
* new games made with retro style/theme/art/etc
* remakes/remasters of actual retro games (could be it's own thread perhaps)

Whether a game like Return to Monkey Island should be included (as it is neither of the above) due to it's *connection* to retro games is unclear.

I would NOT include mods, e.g. DOOM wads which are continually being released, *unless* they are especially significant and sold through a major outlet, e.g. Sigil.

new games with something retro in the style or theme are so plentiful if the net is cast broadly enough

I'm sure there are lists of remakes, always interesting though

Yes this is extremely broad as there's been a steady stream of this since ~2009.

Well maybe limit it to FPS/Adventure/RTS.

For example, Tempest Rising has been announced as a "modern retro C&C" like game, the first of it's kind that I am aware of. There are handful of FPS games, starting with ones like DUSK and Iron Fury. Thimbleweed park of was one of the first adventure games like this. I guess there is a wiki page for it after all:

A while ago I attempted to make a list of modern "retro" FPS games:
https://forums.duke4.net/topic/10279-modern-r … tro-fps-corner/

Since Duke4.net forums have a post editing time limit, I can no longer update that list, so any new additions are to be found further down the thread.

Here's a few "retro" style RTS games:

I suppose Blasphemous is worth mentioning as from what I gather it is a fairly faithful example of SNES style visuals, although I would not vouch for gameplay mechanics.

I also remembered The Telwynium, which is an adventure game in the vein of early Sierra titles. It seems to use its own engine.
