After cranking up the difficulty, I am once again asking: How many of these games with pixel art styles can you identify?
PC Gamer has launched a second round of its pixel art game identification quiz, raising the difficulty level after readers found the first iteration too easy. The interactive quiz challenges players to identify games based on screenshots featuring pixel art aesthetics, a staple visual style in gaming history.
For this edition, the publication has adjusted its approach by distorting most screenshots more than in the previous round, making identification more challenging. While some easier questions are included to provide occasional respite, the majority of the quiz tests deeper knowledge of gaming trivia and visual recognition skills.
The quiz is part of PC Gamer’s broader quiz offerings, which regularly test readers on various gaming topics and mechanics, from user interface elements like health bars to in-game currencies and patch note humor. The recurring nature of these quizzes suggests they have become a popular feature with the publication’s audience.
