Lozengehaha thank you for the recs ^^
Goddamn now that’s a comprehensive list. Lots of good recommendations as well. Gonna add an old classic dear to my heart:
- Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Spirit Farer and Machinarium
Citizen Sleeper - fantastic narrative driven sci fi game that plays a bit like a worker placement board game
Enter the Gungeon is one of my favourites, I highly recommend it, along with Cuphead and Hades.
They’re not all that experimental but they take a simple idea and execute it to a really high-level. The gameplay in all three is super fun.
