Some of them deliberately do 'retro' style. I remember reading some retro game maker decided to go to 3d models because it would be significantly less time than making sprites. It really comes down to game-play for me, I was on a retro game kick for awhile, but found only a few that were any good. I really liked Risk of Rain and Rogue Legacy, and Breath of Death wasn't bad, but probably at least 20 other games I played only very shortly, and found horrendously bad, or not entertaining for more than a few minutes. Even ones with great ratings. - Justisaur
