Hylics by Mason Lindroth is the only other thing I'd ever seen do the "physical art" thing in a videogame. I love it a lot, so now curious about the other games you've mentioned! Thanks for the recs.
With respect to Doug TenNapel’s contribution to the field, Armikrog is only of interest I think to die-hard nostalgia fans. Maybe one day it will be (or already has been?) remastered into an even better game, but when I played it on release it was more like a mise en place of a great meal than a great meal itself.
The Dream Machine is all out body horror excellence from an indie studio in the truest sense. The fact that they saw the project through to the end, in real time, over the course of several years and while communicating the whole time with their Kickstarter backers is just as impressive as the game itself. Pure brilliance.
