Excellent bullet hell and melee battle mashup Furi dropped back in 2016 and left a big impact crater on action genre fans, demanding attention and careful play from players with a unique control scheme emphasizing dual stick play around shooting and slashing. It's certainly one of those games for fans of responsive controls, people who really care about how a game feels while they're playing it.
Now, developers The Game Bakers have dropped a free demake via another developer, Sylph, that reimagines Furi's first boss fight against The Chain as an 8-bit era game with brilliant neon colors and high-contrast pixel-art visuals. It's honestly a pretty wild bit of game design, taking a very 3D shoot-em-up and hack and slash title and making into a very 2D version of the same thing.
