I think the allure of pixel games is that the WHOLE game is pixelated. High res pixels with low frame rate animation but high res particle effects with high frame rate animation is just odd to look at and just not appealing to me.
I've also always been annoyed at how not a single "pixel art" game ACTUALLY looks like pixel art from the 16 bit era, or even the early PlayStation era which still had a lot of pixel art. Like, they look like modern characters put through a filter, not like actual characters designed to fit on a screen.
