Obduction
A beautiful, if simple, puzzle game that remains faithful to Myst without feeling dated.
Mighty No. 9
This is not the Mega Man successor you are looking for.
Crashlands
Fun combat, great writing, and a great look, but with pacing and progression tuned for mobile, not PC.
Hand of Fate

Its lengthy campaign is full of charming characters with somber, touching stories, even when the tasks between them can occasionally...

Kentucky Route Zero is a beautiful poetry generator in the body of a point-and-click adventure game. It’s frequently stunning to look at and beautifully written throughout. The way it tells its magical modern-day story can sometimes be hamfisted, stuttering like a dying old delivery van at times, but the creativity...
