What modern games pay tribute to arcade titles?

Recommended Posts

I’ve noticed resurgence of modern games paying homage to classic arcade titles. Titles like TowerFall Ascension channel the frantic competitive spirit of Gauntlet, while Cuphead’s run-and-gun platforming and hand-drawn visuals evoke 1930s cartoon-inspired cabinets. Roads of Valor: World War II echoes Time Crisis with its cover-based shooting segments, and Shovel Knight’s pixel art and boss rush format feel like honoring Mega Man’s legacy. Which recent indie or AAA game do you feel best honors the arcade era, either through gameplay mechanics, art style, or difficulty curve?
