One of the more polished early access open world crafting games out there. Lots of fun with a group, easily over 100hrs of content if you complete everything and there's another big patch coming soon.

One of the best co-op games around. A good variety of content to keep both new players and old occupied. Free seasons of new content and season passes to unlock cosmetics.
Plays fine solo but best with friends. Matchmaking is also quick and easy and has a highly friendly community.
Cheap enough to pick up and try that you'll probably get your monies worth even if it doesn't hook you and keep you coming back for years(thought it probably will).

Possibly my favorite game of all time, at least top 3. The game has a huge amount of content but never really felt like it dragged even trying to traverse every square foot of the map. With a lot of other big open world games like fallout/skyrim/etc. I end up spending 100+ hours crawling over the map having tons of fun but eventually burn out and never finish the main story. With Elden Ring for months after I finished it I still kept getting the urge to jump back in and had to tell myself to wait for the inevitable DLC.

Yep, it's still Halo. Battle pass progression needs adjusting but they seem to be working on that.

Great rouguelite. The different perks/wands and the different optional areas you can explore really gives you much more varied gameplay than in many games of this genre. Plus you can grab mods from the workshop for extra content or to tweak aspects of the game you may not enjoy.

Just as frustratingly fun as the first game.

Does a great job of translating the metroidvania genre to 3D. Abilities and puzzles are quite varied throughout the game.

Amazingly adorable platformer

Played through this game with my girlfriend after seeing a let's play of part of it. Tons of fun exploring the levels and figuring out how to make it past the puzzles. Makes you smile every time some wacky solution manages to get you past an obstacle.

Best metroidvania I've played. Amazing art style and graphics. The abilities you unlock allow for quick and fluid travel through the environments preventing backtracking to pick up collectibles from becoming a chore.
