Games with graphics resembling PS1 or PS2? (sopuli.xyz)

So recently I was thinking how games with pixel art graphics are popular nowadays, and I was wondering if there are new games being made with other kinds of "retro" graphics, for example, games that look like the PS1 or PS2 eras.

Any recommendations?

Any "boomer shooter" is a callback to the 90 early 00s shooters. For example: Dusk, Postal: Braindead and Warhammer 40k: Boltgun

Lots of indie horror games have the early 3d era look to them.

Basically if you want visuals like this, the indie scene is where you should look

Piggybacking off you, Ultrakill (same devs as dusk) is one of my favorites in recent memory. Highly recommend.

Ultrakill (same devs as dusk)

The same publisher, but not the devs.

Same publisher (New Blood), but not the same devs. Dusk is by David Szymanski, Ultrakill is by Hakita.
