Okay yes it's the Meme Leftist Game for some but this was the one-two emotional face punch in the same year Outer Wilds released. The saddest and most wondrous buddy cop story, all while allowing itself to have the rare moments of heartfelt emotion where it matters most.

Another desert island game, Risk of Rain 2 is such an enjoyable experience. Every character feels fun, and you can build all of them in gimmicky ways if you so desire with a TON of unique items. Being able to scale your difficulty in a wide variety of ways is also a huge boon!
