Final Fantasy 7 Remake games (one of the best modern RPGs with amazing combat and extension / sequel of the iconic PS1 RPG)

Balatro (roguelite game with poker cards, very addicting)

SIGNALIS (isometric shooter with puzzles ala Silent Hill)

A Space for the Unbound (beautiful story driven sidescroller set in rural Indonesia, great OST and pixel art)

Dredge (lovecraftian horror fishing game, pleasant gameplay loop and fun mechanics, even my mom who doesn't like video games liked it).

Sword of the Sea (just play this one, same creators as Journey)

Call of the Sea (first person lovecraftian puzzle game)

and some older ones from pre 2020:

Nier: Automata, Death Stranding

I might add:

Cozy: Tiny Bookshop and Stardew Valley

Action: it's triple A but God of War and GoW Ragnarök are pretty good imo. If you don't mind formulaic Horizon zero dawn and forbidden west have a good story and storytelling but gameplay wise it's a bit stale. Clair Obscure of course.

Weird: graveyard keeper - it has a lot of grinding, it's a hit or miss I guess. It's older but it has pixel graphics so not much of a concern I guess

Also weird: Disco Elysium

Also weird: Baby Steps

Rogue: Hades and Hades 2

Climbing: Cairn. It is SO good.
