This might be a slightly unusual attempt at a prompt, but might draw some appealing unusual options.

The way it goes: Suggest games, ideally the kind that you believe would have relatively broad appeal. Don't feel bad about downvotes, but do downvote any game that's suggested if you have heard of it before (Perhaps, give some special treatment if it was literally your game of the year). This rule is meant to encourage people to post the indie darlings that took some unusual attention and discovery to be aware of and appreciate.

If possible, link to the Steam pages for the games in question, so that anyone interested can quickly take a look at screenshots and reviews. And, as a general tip, anything with over 1000 steam reviews probably doesn't belong here. While I'd recommend that you only suggest one game per post, at the very most limit it to three.

If I am incorrect about downvotes being inconsequential account-wide, say so and it might be possible to work out a different system.

I also really enjoyed cult of the lamb: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1313140/Cult_of_the_Lamb/

It's a game where you are a little sheep creature that runs a cult. It's a mix of a management game and a roguelike since you go on runs to fight the games main bosses and get items to bring back to improve your cult.

Art style kinda reminds me of Klei's Don't Starve and is probably one of the most impressive parts of the game

Though this one is more well known. Still, I hadn't heard of it before so I think sometimes games with even a big following like this one can stay off the radar a bit unless they are truly massive.
