Art game (Art house game) - 1977 to 2019
Created for the sake of the art, or whose structure is intended to produce some kind of reaction in its audience.
Pixelated - 1986 to 2024
Intentionally runs with pixel doubling, tripling, or something - such as the graphics are designed to look like it - that brings out the pixels to visible levels as they used to be in old games.
Blocky - 2002 to 2019
Designed to be very blocky in appearance, with heavy use of square/rectangle/cube shapes. Likely as an attempt to make the game seem older than it is and/or to reduce resources needed to produce graphics.
