Rockstar have absolutely mastered this format of game, and GTA5 is the jewel in their crown. It’s extremely well designed and the singleplayer is good, albeit suffering from restrictive ways to play.

Probably better suited to a mobile game these days, but extremely pleasant and a fun way to work your way through calmness to eventual OCD-like anxiety.

A modern and engaging story driven puzzler adventure with a core mechanic thoroughly explored. Fun, engaging and emotionally sophisticated (for the most part… at times it’s pretty cheesy). Play it.

Tactical RPG storyboard with fantastic characters, artstyle and music. Quite challenging at times, which fits with its dramatic, larger than life tone. Doesn’t outstay it’s welcome. Really good.

More of the same from the Far Cry formula; which is still strong and fun - assuming there’s an engaging world & plot, as there is here. Not quite as strong as #3, but worth playing.

At the time a very unique perspective on the horror game wherein you play as a toddler. Thematically it’s pretty strong, it’s tense but not overly scary, quite short and worth a buy if on sale.

Supergiant’s debut game, and what a game it is. A 2D isometric RPG which is tonnes of fun, has gorgeous visuals, a great soundtrack and famously brilliant narration. Must play.
