Everhood for a good pixel game, but it's not really comparable to much other than a weird acid trip. The Steam reviews are a good indicator for the vibes and a good laugh.

Funny how no one mentioned the Quest for Glory or any of those old Sierra point and click adventure games. Oh, and those games from LucasArts as well.
On more modern one I think Dead Cells executed pretty well, since my eyes don't feel tired after play compare to other more action driven pixel art games.
Death Trash is an isometric openworld rpg, amazing pixel art. It features a post apocalyptic world with horrors, can be a bit gross sometimes tho. Very good Indie game.
To the moon and APICO come to mind :D
FTL! This game was probably my first introduction to roguelites back when I was still a wee little lad. Loved the space aesthetic, and the combat system was pretty unique for the time I thought. Runner-up would probably be Noita (roguelite trend here). If we're including DOS era games, I'd add Centurion: Defender of Rome (predecessor to Total War games) and Sword of the Samurai (Mount and Blade but in Sengoku-era Japan).
Children of Morta for me.
It only shares the roguelite elements with vampire survivors, but I'll drop a recommend for The Dungeon Beneath here. Super simple but pretty addicting.
Paper Please. They tell multiple stories, some you can invest and follow or cut short with a simple button (DETAINED!). The gameplay is also interesting, having to maintain and follow all these little details reminds me of some brain training games. The comedic writing as well of some of the characters is also brilliant (looking at your Georgi).
I'm sure there's more if I sit and think for longer, but right now I'd have to say Blasphemous - I went into it completely blind to what it was, and ho boy did it blow me away. Everything just felt good about that game.
It’s not pixelated but if you like Vampire Survivors you should totally check out Brotato!
I like Rimworld, trying to survive and build a functional lil town while keeping everyone alive. Eventually expanding enough to build a spaceship and escape the planet to win the game. I never have though I just put on lowest difficulty and watch my lil kitty people doodl about.
While it has simple graphics, Rimworld is not a pixel game. It is a great game, though!
