For this critical thought, I'm discussing what separates good, bad, and amazing, modern retro games from one another. Why you shouldn't just copy another game, and why that line between good retro and bad retro is so wide.

0:00 Intro
00:29 Why Modern Retro is Popular
1:23 The differences in Retro Quality
2:15 The Modern Retro Mindset
4:34 The Goal of Modern Retro Games Today
8:10 Conclusion
