Bug Fables
It's a really well done RPG in the spirit of the original Paper Mario games. Charming and fun to play. Got some depth to the build choices using a similar badge system as Paper Mario or even Hollow Knight.
Off the top of my head:
Cave story the og ... man what a game
The "To the moon" games. They are heavly Story based but they are also one of the few games where I cried like a toodler.
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (ASCII mode) and Neofeud hold a special place in my heart
The Oregon Trail, Pong, Myst, Doom, Worms, Transport Tycoon, Tetris...
Binding of Isaac. When it finally came out on the switch, I played it more than Breath of the Wild.
I played it to completion. Then Rebirth came out and I played it to completion (barring The Lost, because come on). I only recently picked up Repentance and I'm already another 200 hours in.
❤️, or perhaps I should say ❤️🤍🤍💙💙🖤💔
To the Moon - gonna have my partner play it here soon so they can cry from it too
Shattered pixel dungeon Many hours put into this game
Valheim is one of the best, especially with frends
Does STALKER count? I love the atmosphere of the games.
If not I've sunk a lot of time in Mini Metro
Inscryption
You are in a weird cabin in the middle of the woods playing a card game with your fate on the line. Some of your cards are talking to you and comment on how you play.
Then things get weird.
For those that like Inscryption, honorable mention for Hand of Fate 1 & 2
I played A Short Hike recently, and I was transported. It's a painterly little adventure in which you walk and glide your way through an archipelago, meeting people and solving small puzzles, mostly around platforming. It's amazingly soothing. First game my wife actually enjoys too, and she's not into games at all.
Orwell, the first one
Fall Guys, back before the vaulting fiasco
Hotline Miami. Would appreciate recommendations of similiar games.
Salt and Sanctuary and Hollow Knight.
Not technically in their bedrooms but made by students - Narbacular Drop. It was the game that spawned Portal. It’s not a great game, per se, but I’ll never forget the paradigm-shifting moment I had when I realized what was happening.
Valve ended up hiring the entire team to work on Portal.
