So recently I was thinking how games with pixel art graphics are popular nowadays, and I was wondering if there are new games being made with other kinds of "retro" graphics, for example, games that look like the PS1 or PS2 eras.

Any recommendations?

If you like retro styles and don't mind some technical tinkering and manual configuration of games you can checkout the "demake" scene. These people recreate modern games to look and play as if with the limitations of the PS1/N64 (or earlier) era. The most popular and polished I know of is the demake of Bloodborne that recreates the first third of the game entirely as a PS1 game.
