A game that takes obvious inspiration from Mega Man, but man, it sure does it right! This game is an indie darling for a reason, and it's always a blast to play. The world is so fun and I just boot it up and play it from start to finish for fun, sometimes.
All of the different campaigns are also fun, especially since each playable character does play entirely differently. I really enjoy playing as Specter Knight, but that might just be my Mega Man X bias.

A cult classic for a reason. I've thought about Ib since I was a teenager, and I have gender envy for Garry.

This game is sooooo good and so beautiful and the atmosphere is so unique. I don't think there's anything else quite like it.

Go play Disco Elysium.

A good and solid game that I have poured an unknowable amount of hours into. That said, I see that the game is listed as being from 2011 and that has made me feel very, very old.

A nice & fun little farming simulation game that I really enjoy. Obviously is an indie cornerstone that everyone enjoys. Every time there's a major update I find myself sinking anywhere from a hundred to a hundred and fifty extra hours into the game.

More mechanics than the first time. More slimes than the first game. A lot of Beatrix's relationships from the first game carrying over into the second makes my chest feel a little funny. It's nice when I feel like my actions really mattered in the sequel, even though the sequel is just assuming that I did everything available in the original game.

By god. I love ranching slimes.

Not quite a perfect game, but the ambiance and the story are a wonderful and fun continuation of the world set up in both Pony Island and The Hex. I agree with a lot of people that the first act of the game is far more polished than the rest of it, but at the same time, outside of act one, the rest of the game was meant to tell a story more than involve deckbuilding to the same extent as that first act. It doesn't surprise me that Daniel Mullins eventually released Kaycee's Mod, which allows for endless replayability of act one with new challenges & lore for the people who are in to that. Highly recommend.

With the time and attention given to every detail of this game, from the controls, to the boss encounters, to the art and sound design, it's very easy to see why Hollow Knight is a lot of people's favorite modern metroidvanias. Would highly recommend!
