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"?

Valheim! The graphics may look like a PS2/XBOX Game, but it is very fun.

Imbroglio (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/imbroglio/id969264934) is one of my favorite minimal purchase iOS games. I haven’t played it in awhile, but it’s a unique dungeon puzzle game where you place attacks as floor tiles on the board ahead of playing. There’s some consistent rules with ramping challenge, which made it super replayable for me. I loved trying different floor designs, finding strategies, and there’s a small progression system that’s fun. Hasn’t been updated in a few years, but it was a great design despite the rough appearance.

Ravenfield is ugly but fun

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.
