I just got and am obsessed with UnderMine, an adorable roguelite dungeon crawler a la Binding of Isaac. Currently on sale for $5!

You bastards! My budget is completely (censured) up. Just purchased these from this discussion:

• Technobabylon
• Prey
• The Age of Decadence
• A Hat in Time
• Risk of Rain 2
• Risk of Rain
• Gunpoint
• Death's Door
• Road 96
• Super Blood Hockey
• Demon Truck
• Distance

Argh!!!!

I bought Orc must die 2. 1 was a very fun game where you place traps to kill orcs. It gets challenging in later levels too.

I highly recommend CrossCode, currently only costs $6 (It also has a free demo if you want to try it first). It’s a really well polished game with a great story, and the action is amazing too. It also includes difficulty settings you can change if you feel yourself getting too frustrated (as I did sometimes). This video also sums it up pretty well. Hope you enjoy!

Norco! It’s this post-apocalyptic Southern gothic point and click game. I downloaded the demo and got hooked.

When I stop plugging Paradise Killer it will be because I am dead and in the ground. Absolute masterpiece of theming and plot. It's a mystery game without the clunky logic puzzles-- just your patience and intuition. And my God, the music. I've been obsessed for over a year now.

I've already got a Steam Deck and I really enjoy it, but I've been eyeing the Dock for a while too. It's on sale now for even less than the alternative I was considering so I'm probably going to grab one very soon

Wytchwood is a fun crafting adventure game with a lot of fetching. Not too long of a game either and I finished it in a few days.

Here are a few that I really enjoy (though their level of "unknown-ness" is debatable):

EXAPUNK - 50% - 96% Positive

If you like old time puzzle games, and have a pinch for programming, then you will love this. In this game you control bots by creating algorithms to extract data and other challenges. The cool part is you must study the game language and learn the lore from manuals and magazines that the game provides.

SHENZHEN I/O - 50% - 93% Positive

From the same creator of EXAPUNK, only the thematic here is electronics.

Road 96 - 50% 91% Positive

Summer 1996, Today is the day! You hit the road. Adventure. Freedom. Escape. Run. Flee the Regime. Try to survive.

On this risky road trip to the border, you’ll meet incredible characters, and discover their intertwined stories and secrets in an ever-evolving adventure. But every mile opens up a choice to make. Your decisions will change your adventure, change the people you meet, maybe even change the world.
