Like, the online hellscape of endless Flash applets and browser shovelware games is retro now?

The next balatro (at least in terms of game being played into the ground by Northernlion) is nubby's number factory.

Almost every asset has a gradient, or is a low poly model.

2000s are back baby. The only thing that sucks is that I don't feel 90s retro really took off, the 80s just had a double helping.

The 90s nostalgia is all the boomer shooters, Thief and Deus Ex style immersive sims, and indie games with a PS1 or N64 style aesthetic.

Also Hypnospace Outlaw.
