What are your favorite "ugly" games? (lemmy.ml)

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"?

I second Stone Soup and FTL! Both amazing, but ugly. Also:

The Binding of Isaac
Slay the Spire
Mario 64

Slay the spire is kind of a style choice. Dev art mode is bad however and kinda funny lol.

I didn't expect to find a Stone Soup entry so early in the list. It's perfect for me because I can just spawn a new window inside my tmux session, type soup, hit enter, and etch-a-sketch my brain for a few minutes.
