Since you like pixel stuff try out CrossCode.
i played crosscode before it was even on steam. it was an html5 browser demo and i've been following it since. i will definitely buy it but im waiting for it to get out of early access
i second this
course, since you still really havent told us what kind of games you like or dislike it's pretty hard for us to find you games you might like
i can only say what i dont like which is basically
(keep in mind this is what i dont like)
mobas - no doubt about it. i dont like them
mmorpgs - the ones that are really generic
sport games - just boring
strategy games - like civ or crusader kings, you know.
competitive games - i like playing them, but the fact that they show themselves as a 'competitive style' really drives me away from playing it. sutff like overwatch, csgo. one great example is rocket league. i love playing rocket league though, dont get me wrong.
i'd label more but i cant think of any ideas
the thing is, games really bring out some sort of cliche when it comes to certain aspects whether its gameplay, art, presentation. a lot of its the same and thats what i think drives me away from it. usually what i do is look for a game with banner art that really stands out. which is hilarious because its almost like half of the games on steam spent their budget on the banner art alone.

not down my ally
not my thing. only rhythm-like game i like is guitar hero (hell yea)
eh maybe but im afraid i wouldnt get into it since its an older game and that drives me off for some reason (i wish it didnt)
same as above
ive had my fair share of need for speed with underground (great game)
same as above
not my type of pixel game
looks interesting ill think about it
this game looks kickass. i might just get it on my phone though
i want to play this but again for some reason older games drive me off and i wish it didnt
same as above but instead of it being old, more of like 'should have played it when it was popular' sort of deal
played the flash game it was ok but this doesnt look like it offers much more from it
as much as i love doom/2 its kinda boring me to play games down the same alley
i want to play rollercoaster tycoon. i might buy planet coaster
ehh maybeeee
someone already recommended this
rimworld looks tight as forget
rimworld looks cool but i dont think its what im looking for
thanks for the suggestions guys im hoping people who are having the exact same problem as me find a solution here too. its just its only been like a couple months since ive been able to fund myself to actually get games and have something to run it on, but now that i have it theres nothing i want to play. i mean if i put sixteen year old me in my shoes i'd be stuffting myself playing so many games but im not like that anymore and i really dont want to drive myself from it ; (
