A wonderfully tense pyscho-thriller, perfect for anyone who's ever hated their boss.

I call them modern classics for a reason.
Like the name implies, a well of game, always with more depth than you thought. Try to figure it out without a guide, but don't be afraid to turn to one when you need to.
One of the rarest of things, a non-fiction video game. Produced by Davey Wreden, the creator of The Stanley Parable, The Beginner's Guide is a short guided tour through some games produced by one of Wreden's acquaintances.
Perhaps my favorite video game, Disco Elysium is an RPG about being an alchoholic cop trying to solve a murder in eastern europe. It's also about failure, and hope, and communism, and it has an ending that made me tear up. I recommend this game in the strongest possible words.
A short puzzle game about time. Beautiful beyond compare.
A wonderful game set in a fascinating setting, Heaven's Vault is a game about decyphering the language of your long-dead ancestors, and discovering the true history of the world you inhabit. It can be a bit janky at times, sadly, but it's still well worth playing.
A wonderful exploration of infinte space.
A point-and-click video game in the style of the old LucasArts classics. You play as a robot, eking out a meager living in the post-apocalypse, on a quest to recover your energy source.
Beautiful - and absurdly difficult at times - Rain World sees you control a small creature trying to survive in the ruins of a massive industrial complex. There is a lovely story to be found, which touches on themes of life, death, and the preference for one over the other, but you really have to go looking for it.
A Zelda-like wherein you play as a cute little fox on their quest to do... something. Like all games, Tunic tells you how to play it. Unlike most games, it does so with an instruction manual in a language you don't (yet) read (you don't actually need to translate the manual to beat the game, but you should give it a shot). Has a much more interesting story than it first seems.
