As i sadly have not found them here:
-Gothic (all three). One of the first non-us-centric and it showef
- giants:citizen kabuto. Weird genre-mashup that also was funny.
And a ton more I'm too lazy to list.

I remember having a demo for giants: citizen Kabuto, it was a weird and fun third person shooter. The thing I remember most is the initial quest giver guy and the way he would say "huuungry" something about it stuck in my brain
I played that demo too! I just remember the quest where the cranky old dude was like "Ahh, I forgot THE WIFE! Go get me wife for me" and I cracked up at how nonsensical it all felt.
This feels like a unique one I should actually put the time into. It just felt so "weird" in a good way! I could never tell exactly what kinda game it was from the marketing.

- Hollow Knight
- Steamworld Dig 1 & 2
Hollow Knight is just amazing. Reinvigorated my love of Metroidvania-style games. The atmosphere, the environments, the movement, the controls, the music, it all works so well together. Just amazing.
Which leads me on to the second recommendation. Steamworld Dig and its sequel are pretty unique in the genre. They're Metroidvania games, but you're creating most of the tunnels and platforms as you go. Great character designs, and smooth progression all the way to the end.
- Factorio
- Return to obra dinn
- Skyrim
- Chrono Trigger (must pirate because SNES is best)
- Papers please
- Enter the Gungeon
- Cuphead
- Slay the Spire
- Subroutine
- Medieval 2 Total War (bit aged with mods to fix)
- Warcraft 3 and/or StarCraft 2 (for the campaign)
Warcraft 2 and Starcraft 1!
I have been really, really enjoying the reworked Wayfinder. The story is ass but the visuals, gameplay and music are all awesome. The characters are likable, the build variety is pretty great, and the devs seem to be pretty in touch with the community lately. I never played it in its MMO state, but for $20 it's a real win.
I think the 1.0 release comes out in a few days, too!
Voices of the Void.
Oh, wait. It's free right now??? Go get it!

Which kind of games. From an Rpg perspective,
-
Alice is missing a silent Rpg, which is played using instant messenging. That one is absolutely crazy, with a lot of potential for bleed
-
Blade in the dark, which is basically the latest revolution in Rpg. And led to the FITD games, it kept the yes but partial success from previous generations of PBTA games, use long term actions (aka clock) for everything (same mechanics for opening a lock, seducing the princess or fighting a guard), and has this downtime phase which is more than just spending XP. It also has flashback mechanic letting you jump to the action and plan latter

Mork Borg, the system is fine but banal. However, the weird aesthetic makes it a must have in a rpg lover collection
Forged in the Dark games are great; I haven't gotten to play Blades, but I've run some Scum & Villainy (which is a space opera setting: think Star Wars meets Firefly), and it's probably my new favorite system
MorkBorg is fun for the aesthetic, but the combat always seems to just drag on, with round after round of damage getting blocked by armor. On the up side, the rounds go really quick.
Mass Effect Trilogy (legendary edition).
You can't buy them anymore. They're all got delisted from every store by the publisher.

Rain World hands down, such an interesting and challenging game.
What platform? I can think of multiple must buys, but it really depends on the system.
