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.

A philosophical rumination under the guise of an experimental videogame.

Beautiful, immersive, intriguing and clever - Firewatch is a relaxing, and at times both hilarious and emotional game driven almost entirely by characters and conversation.

Fun co-op beat-em-up in the vein of Castle Crashers complete with great presentation and an interesting concept setting. Not very long and sadly shallow, but still fun for a while.

Best in class 2D metroidvania with crisp controls and challenging but fair combat. Unforgettable music, characters and world - Hollow Knight is one of the most well executed games ever made.

Hauntingly beautiful, tight controls and an atmospheric world. Hyper Light Drifter is a great example of how to do top-down adventure standing on the shoulders of giants like Zelda and Dark Souls.

One of the few modern co-op games requiring ACTUAL co-operation. Charming, challenging and fun on the couch with a friend.
