First on the list is a unique gem that may not appeal to everyone, but it stands as one of my all-time favorite gaming experiences. This roguelike deck-building card game intertwines elements of psychological horror, creating an atmosphere that is best experienced without prior knowledge. The thrill of discovery is what makes this game truly special.
Inscryption
Next up is a title that has earned its place among the best indie games ever made: Hollow Knight. Despite my usual aversion to metroidvania games, I found myself captivated by its dark charm and engaging gameplay. The challenging battles and immersive atmosphere make it a must-play, especially with the sequel set to release next week.

It’s hard to discuss great games without mentioning The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This masterpiece from CD Projekt Red has garnered a reputation that precedes it, and for good reason. Having played through it multiple times, I can attest to its rich storytelling and expansive world. With the highly anticipated The Witcher 4 on the horizon, now is the perfect moment to embark on your journey through the original.

If you’re a PC gamer with a fondness for Nintendo classics, Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling is a delightful turn-based RPG that evokes the nostalgic feel of the original Paper Mario games. With its charming storybook aesthetic, engaging puzzles, and battles, it’s a title that will resonate with fans of the genre.

Finally, I recommend Gris, the most affordable and brief game on this list. This visually stunning platformer combines beautiful artwork with a poignant narrative about grief and loss. With its incredible use of color, music, and gameplay, it offers a moving experience that can be completed in just a few hours, making the .99 price tag a worthwhile investment.
