2D games on PC

Not everyone likes three-dimensional games; sometimes the soul craves the classics. In addition, 2D games are now often made as well as major releases. The reason is that now developers choose 2D graphics consciously.

If previously all games were 2D, because there weren’t really any other options, now many “trash makers” have gone to 3D, which has affected the quality.
