Semi-hidden gem: Moonleap got more reviews than other recs on this page, but it's a short (<2h) and charming platformer that absolutely fits our usual recs so I couldn't resist recommending it!

Follow-up to your next favorite word puzzle hidden inside of a sprawling non-euclidian exploration game. Now with even less regard for sanity! Can't recommend this criminally underrated series enough.

Dirt cheap Puzzle Bobble roguelike with a few hours of content and a ton of variety. Not very hard, but sometimes it's nice to relax and puzzle some bobbles!

Short and easy-ish puzzle game sprinkled with some horror and exploration here and there. The atmosphere is on point but could use some more scares and optional content!

A bit of a surprising one! Decent enough Match 3 puzzles anchored in a depressive yet captivating narrative that hides quite a few surprises. Not too long and very much recommended

A decent chunk of metroidvania with interesting albeit flawed gameplay. Feels a bit like Cave Story at first, but quickly develops into something unique.
