Alright class, I’ve graded your last test, and there’s no need to even grade on a curve. My first pixel art quiz was too easy, so I plan to step it up.

Want to keep testing your knowledge of gaming trivia? We’ve got loads more PC Gamer quizzes, on everything from healthbars to weird currencies to absurd patch notes.
Instead of challenging the lot of you smartypants with zoomed-in screenshots, I’ve changed my approach. Once again, I’ll ask you to identify the name of the game based on a screenshot, but most of these are more distorted than usual.
I’ve tossed a few gimmes in the mix, but there’s also plenty that I’ve turned into a blurry mess (or clipped smaller samples of). Any game with interesting sprites or detailed pixely environments is enough to get me to bite, even if I’m not traditionally a fan of its respective genre, so you won’t see any themes between how the answers play. We’re just going back to the same ol’ general question for round two:
How many of these games with pixel art styles can you identify? You’ve got six minutes to name as many of the 15 games as you can.
When you’re done, let me know how you did in the comments. Which did you hang up on? Still too easy, or did this one make you try a little harder?
