Almost overwhelmingly opaque and seemingly esoteric, but delivered in an intriguing package that invites more playtime if only to figure out what the hell is going on.

As far as Steam releases go, Dead Cells is GOTY 2018. Absolutely the most buttery smooth controls amongst its ilk, amazing music, challenging mechanics and immense innate replayability.

A fantastic game which I played the hell out of growing up. This PC version is all but completely ruined though, so it’s hard to recommend. Still love that tone though.

An absolute classic and one of the best point-n-click adventure games of all time. A great remaster of Tim Schafer at his peak.

Surprisingly funny, confusing and very clever. A memorable game if you can get through some of the more tedious RPG elements.

Her Majesty expands mechanics of its predecessor while maintaining its simplicity. Great little game with, of course, lots of replayability.

Deep and brutal narrative brilliance. Sunless Sea is challenging and a bit grindy but offers rewarding replayability.

Another challenging modern classic platformer from Ed McMillen - this guy knows what he’s doing. The End is Nigh is less accessible than Super Meat Boy, but if you’re up for a challenge, give it a go.

Furry hack-and-slash Metroidvania with some RPG elements. But the real story here is that aside from VA, soundtrack, and parts of the story, Dust was designed and programmed entirely by one person.
