I enjoy Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup played in the terminal with ASCII graphics. I wonder whether there are other hidden gems out there which don't get attention because they are "ugly"?

TagPro - minimalist graphics, straightforward gameplay and an insanely high skill ceiling. So good it was banned from AskTheBadWebsite because it was always the top answer for every question regarding good webgames etc.

Stardew Valley, hands down one of the graphically ugliest modern games, like 80's console style. Though it's a really good game and I've put a of lot of hours into it. People say it's meant to look that way as intentional retro styling, but damn it's ugly. I actually added a mod on PC to use AA on the blocky graphics and it makes it look a lot better.

Stardew isn't 80's console style at all? It's just pixel art? And doesn't even look bad.
