    Subnautica. One of the best experiences I’ve had in gaming.

    Outer Wilds. One of the most creative and thought-provoking games I’ve played. Definitely go into this one knowing as little as possible about it.

    Hollow Knight also deserves a spot here, but personally I preferred Salt and Sanctuary.

    Valheim - especially if you fork out for a dedicated server. I was playing with family and friends across the Atlanic, so we’d log on the next day and find new bases and bridges built, etc.

    I just wish you could modify and expand the boats!

    Airships: Conquer the Skies - a great little 2D airship builder and combat game

    Songs of Syx - a fun city builder even if combat is largely unfinished still

      Yeah, building in Valheim is mad fun. Adding meaning and difficulty to the acquisition of resources made it so much more satisfying to make things.

        First. Second is nice, but it’s 3D, makes it a little harder. Also they are releasing a new revamped version of the first.

    I usually only play the large bombast blockbuster titles, but Actual Sunshine did leave me speechless.
