Justin Wack and the Big Time Hack - A fantastic point-and-click adventure that is on par with the classics! A time-travelling-based story aside, it has lots of fun references, secret trophies of cowardice to get, achievements to find, and funny, loveable characters, all of which are fully voiced - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OpqM7uSdS4
Lost in Play - Another great point-and-click adventure on par with all the classics. Here, you get to delve into two sibling's imaginative play as they got lost (while playing) and are trying to make their way home. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQDfYk8cUHg
Citizen Sleeper - one of the best narrative-driven visual novel-like resource management game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uom7kC7bsdc
South of the Circle - A cold-war themed walking sim/adventure game with an interesting emotion-based choice-making system, though personally, I doubt the choices you make do change the story by a whole lot... maybe a nudge here and there, but that's about it. In this game, you play as a Cambridge post-doc who is trying to secure tenure by writing a groundbreaking academic paper. While stranded in the highly-contested continent of the Antarctica, you will join him in his many flashbacks to learn how he ended up in this frigid piece of land in the first place! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4jsxoVemjM
PlateUp! - A fantastic cooking-themed time management game-slash-roguelite, with a dash of automation in end game. Best enjoyed in co-op! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh_VBNwUeKM
Cursed to Golf - Another fantastic roguelite but with a 2D golf theme. Very challenging holes here and that boss fight is just #facepalm - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JztZtBA9OK8
Fashion Police Squad - Lots of riffs on "fashion crimes" like wearing sandals with socks + a Doom-like gameplay + lots of secret posters to find. The unique thing about this game though is that it forces you to use the correct weapon against specific enemies. So expect to be switching weapons around all the time.
Like No Other: The Legend Of The Twin Books - A short and interesting point-and-click adventure with a bit of Sokoban, stealth puzzle, and hidden objects (Where's Waldo style with a hot-and-cold indicator). Love the art here, but the story is a bit vague and confusing - lots of "Whys" that are left unanswered. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LT1iTKrrQk
Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure - Interesting adventure game where you get to control up to 4 characters by switching between them. Lots of crafting, resource gathering, exploring, and building/restoring sttructures.
The Ascent - just started, but I'm liking the cyberpunk setting already.
Utopia Colony - A "mining" simulator that's set on Mars with some missions to complete. Not a fan of its lengthy rover drives.
Arcade Paradise - motion sickness warning here!
Super Bullet Break - a tough card-based roguelite mainly because of how unbalanced it can be, Heals do little to nothing while enemies can quickly stack up massive damage, especially considering that you're completely outnumbered. Managed to clear the first "game" within the game though - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GumENd4tpB0
Chernobylite - Feels a bit like State of Decay 2 with plenty of resource scavenging, base building+managing and people recruiting+managing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAnx4RwZivY
