Spelunky HD
A roguelike platformer. While it lacks any meta-progression (like the similar Rogue Legacy games), the core platforming keeps me coming back again and again. The systems-based nature of the game keeps things fresh through many play-throughs.
Umurangi Generation
A photography game that's more cyberpunk than the game titled Cyberpunk. It gradually introduces you into its neon-soaked, Neon Genesis Evangelion-inspired world where humanity fights the good fight against kaiju.

Except the kaiju, born from global warming, have already won, humanity is doomed, and you're there to document the end of everything. The game takes a clear political position, inspired by the Australian bushfires and protests following George Floyd's murder in 2020, that neoliberalism and conservatism can't solve society-level issues, and will instead use the power of the state to sell non-solutions to delay or hide problems while violently stifling any real dissent.Florence
A story of love, loss, and moving on.
