SIGNALIS is a survival horror game with one of the most immaculately crafted worlds and narratives I've ever played.
I love everything about this game and I have not stopped thinking about it since playing.

Hyper Light Drifter is a beautifully detailed 2D action adventure, with incredible visual and audio design.

Half-Life 2 was the game that got me interested in the worldbuilding and atmosphere of games, and Half-Life: Alyx reminded me just how much I love it.

Cave Story is a 2D side-scrolling platform shooter. It is one of the most influential indie games of all time, and Pixel's passion for game development can be felt in every moment of it.

Like above, Toby's passion and humor can be felt all throughout these games.
They're both full of great characters and comedy, as well as genuine heartfelt moments, and never stop throwing unique experiences at you.

Celeste is a beautiful pixel art precision platformer that does an incredible job of introducing and iterating on new mechanics.

Noita markets itself on its 2D per-pixel simulation, but the real magic is in its spellcrafting system and open world.
It is fantastic at making you ask "What'll happen if I-" immediately before discovering that the answer is you die.

On the surface, TUNIC is a cutesy Legend of Zelda homage with a really unique presentation style.
Under the surface, TUNIC is an incredible layered puzzle that I had a fantastic time solving.

I've been playing this game since 2010 and it pays my rent, so of course I have to put it on here.

Return of the Obra Dinn is an incredibly unique mystery game that does a fantastic job telling its story.
It can only really be played once due to it's nature, so I find myself enjoying watching other people play it.
