I bought over a dozen promotional games, with high discounts on several old games, Cities: Skylines-90% for only $2.99; Darkest Dungeon-92% for only $1.99. Also bought a promising HoMM-like new game, Pennon and Battle.

It really brings me back to the kind of good that games used to be!

If you want similar old school meets new vibes, Celeste, Hollow Knight, Crosscode, and Another Crab's Treasure are all very fun. Crosscode in particular I just finished, and my gosh it was one of my favorites this year. Can't wait for the next game from the devs!

I love Crosscode! I don't think any of these games you mentioned scratch the same itch though. They're definitely great, but are missing the kind of simplicity of an old-school platformer that I've got in mind.
