As if tailor made for me, this might just be my personal GOTY.

This is one of those ingenious games that game designers all over wish they made & the price is so ridiculously low, you get more bangs for your bucks than is good for your health. Don't hesitate, just load up that shotgun.

Adios is a short, interactive story with intent. Is it worth playing? That will likely depend on its themes resonating with you or not, but it's brief enough to find out by just giving it a try.

Hob's Barrow surprised me with the believability of its excellent writing, delivered by voice acting which never made me want to skip even a line. It knows the mood it aims to create and expertly sets out to do just that. If you're looking for a grounded adventure, make sure to not miss this one.

FAR: Lone Sails sets you off on a lonesome journey, on which you learn to take care of and rely on your landship, in turn realizing that even a machine can feel like a friend and beauty be found in desolation.

Unexpectedly clever.

Become a Plant Detective, piece together clues to complete your collection, help people and solve the mystery.

Engaging, well designed and satisfying puzzles make this an easy recommendation. Try the demo and you'll know if you'll like it.

Webbed is a pure joy to play, with astonishingly satisfying web slinging & swinging mechanics that work flawlessly for its puzzles as well as traversing the world. Just the right length for a fun afternoon, or a little longer if you enjoy tracking down collectibles & secrets.

The Eternal Castle may not be a game for everyone, but those who can appreciate minimalistic visuals and don't mind being thrown into the deep end, will find it to be a short journey well worth embarking on. A hidden gem with some impurities, but polished to the highest sheen.

Take a chance on this game, go in blind and stick with it until the end (~12 to 15 hours).
You might be delighted, you might be disappointed, but you will be surprised. Something that not many games manage to this degree. It's definitely special.
