Monster Train gets my vote. Slay the Spire-esque but even more fun to me.

Midnight fight express is my goty.

Archvale was/is brilliant

> No mention of SIGNALIS

RIGGED

Buck Fanana said:And it’s really gorgeous. At the top end of play people tell me that Slay the Spire has more depth, but the vast majority of players will never hit that point and it manages to be pretty awesome right off the bat!

(Side note, they just launched an iOS version that looks good, it had a few resolution issues on a few devices they seem to still be working out but given the rate they’re patching I’m sure it’ll be all solid in another week or two).

I definitely have enjoyed FUGA, I intend to play the sequel

I just beat Archvale this past week. Great game and I think it's leaving Game Pass soon. Highly recommended! Most of the other games are on my to play list too.

Beacon Pines easily one of my games of the year.

The Riftbreaker
Monster Train
Tainted Grail: Conquest
Frostpunk
Firewatch

are all probably good honorable mentions for the list.

I haven't played any on this list! Def putting Archvale on my list along with a few others.

I do really want to play Little Witch in the Woods but I'm waiting for the 1.0 :)

I'll second Beacon Pines. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Definitely worth the 5-7 hours to complete it.

UnstoppableKD said:I agree except for one thing. Forcing me to play through 2.5 times to get all achievements was crap. By the end I hated the game. Initial play was a great experience.

While I didn't end up playing Paradise Killer for more than 30 minutes, I still love the soundtrack.
Tried a bit of Little Witch in the Woods but found it to be too slow to really enjoy it, text speed in particular.
Had my eyes on pretty much all of the rest. I think all the ones I'd have recommended have already left GP.

Road 96 is excellent IMO.

Definitely Monster Train. I wish it had another DLC. I was disappointed that the first DLC didn't add any achievements.

Supraland is great. Leaves in a few days though.

Beacon Pines is great. I finished it last night, and I loved every minute of it. Great writing. Very Twin Peaks-by-way-of-Stranger Things. I dug it, a lot, but Twin Peaks is my favorite franchise of all time, so others' mileage may vary.
