I’ve spent far too much time playing Against The Storm, and I’m positively in love. Every game is basically ~70 minutes of “can I make this build work.” The difficulty escalation is great and I easily see myself spending dozens more hours with it. A+ game.

Cassette beasts is a great game, 40 hours into it so far this game will suck the time outta your day I swear hahahha

As a word nerd Chants of Sennaar scratched a puzzle itch I didn’t know I had. Even hunted down more in the genre after completing but it seems beyond Heavens Vault there isn’t much unfortunately.

Thoroughly enjoyed roboquest. One of the only games I’ve bothered to 100%

Have to give my recommendation for Laika. Easily one of the most innovative metroidvanias of the year, and one of the most stylish of all time. It can get a bit rough towards the end, but it’s usually because the developers expect you to use every single tool at your disposal in high level combat encounters. At the very least, everyone should take the hour to play through the free demo, and experience the power of parrying bullets with a motorcycle.
