While Pokemon's needless determination to innovate gimmicks that really distract from the core battle system that was established so long ago, the world of the Galar region contains lots of nice nods to English culture, combined with the QoL around Wild Areas and pokemon encounters makes for a better game than some of the more recent generations. The departure from the traditional pokemon league is still not something I'm a fan of.

Subnautica delivers a great survival experience with a small helping of incidental horror as you dive deeper and deeper into completely uncharted ocean. A decent story and great soundtrack/visuals help create a really well orchestrated atmosphere of isolation and ocean exploration.

Undertale is a visual novel that takes itself very seriously.
