Possibly my favorite traditional roguelike of all time, with tons of fun items and hilariously cruel enemies. Easy to learn and hard to master, with impeccable pacing and little downtime.

Ultra-stylish shmup that looks like an early 2000s forum signature in the best way possible, and lets you chain super attacks to rip through bosses.

One of my favorite traditional roguelikes of all time, with tons of abilities and some hilariously cruel enemies. Easy to get started with, but has lots of post-game dungeons for all skill levels.

One of my favorite arcade-style platformers. Full of dynamic and unpredictable challenges, with some genuine improvements over its arcade predecessors. I'm not used to modern games being this good.

More La-Mulana! Another incredible exploration platformer that actually feels like exploring, instead of just progressing through a checklist of standard metroidvania abilities.

Orthodox CAVE-style bullet hell shmup executed very well, with a tutorial that does a great job of explaining the techniques needed to play the genre at a competent level.

Amazing top-down combat-focused action RPG, with fast action combat, incredible bosses and lots of difficulty modes. Up there with Ys: The Oath in Felghana. I still regularly replay the boss rush!
