The Messenger. Easily my favorite 2D platformer. It starts as a more modern and polished take on the original Ninja Gaiden games for NES, but it becomes so much more.

Inscryption. A rogue-like deckbuilder. You’d think that would make it similar to Slay the Spyre. But again, it becomes so much more.

I recommend both games any chance I have. They are very different, but both are better expecienced blind.

Oh. World is a bit faster compared to old school MH. But if you ever want to give the series another try, Rise is faster and flashier.

In general I recommend trying the games with a friend or a guide. The games themselves are not good at helping players “get” them.

Cyberpunk 2077. Say what you will about the state of the game, especially when it released. But there’s something about the endings that keeps me thinking about the game and has me really excited about coming back after enough updates have passed.

Buying the maps and using the charm for position. I found the idea neat in concept but annoying in practice.

Hollow Knight. On the exploration side I didn’t like the way the map works. On the combat side it just felt… weird? Like, it’s not really clunky, but I just couldn’t vibe with it. Beautiful game though, "100 and something. "-percented it just for the aesthetic. But I will probably never replay it; wasn’t worth the time I spent with it.

Out of curiosity, which one(s) did you try?
