Gaming

The Messenger. Often gets compared to ninja gaiden (for good reason) but I actually got mega man X vibes from it. Awesome 2D platforming with metroidvania elements and a great gimmick. I also really loved Celeste and Katana Zero.

Celeste. Was my first pixel art style game but oh has it been fun

Broforce, fun for up to four players.

I'm sure there's more if I sit and think for longer, but right now I'd have to say Blasphemous - I went into it completely blind to what it was, and ho boy did it blow me away. Everything just felt good about that game.

Any of the Final Fantasy pixel remaster would be my answer. They are not like the newer remakes, they hold true to the originals with a face-lift.

To the moon and APICO come to mind :D

Hotline Miami. Does Superhot count?

Paper Please. They tell multiple stories, some you can invest and follow or cut short with a simple button (DETAINED!). The gameplay is also interesting, having to maintain and follow all these little details reminds me of some brain training games. The comedic writing as well of some of the characters is also brilliant (looking at your Georgi).

You should check out 20 Minutes Till Dawn. It's a better looking version of vampire survivor.

Dome keeper!!

Children of Morta for me.

I like Rimworld, trying to survive and build a functional lil town while keeping everyone alive. Eventually expanding enough to build a spaceship and escape the planet to win the game. I never have though I just put on lowest difficulty and watch my lil kitty people doodl about.
