My curated collection of some of the Best Stuff
This unholy spawn of Youtube Poop, David Lynch, and the Titanic as a cultural object is worth experiencing. A psycho-spiritual exploration of the experience of drowning that is quite slow-paced and contemplative for what it is.
They say creativity is a process of hiding your influences. If this is the case, they're hidden real fucking well here. This is the most singularly original piece of media I have experienced, in the best possible way.

People like to compare this to Morrowind, which in some ways does it a disservice, since this is really clearly its own thing. What is shares with Morrowind is having a unique and interesting setting with deep lore, while not having the complex RPG mechanics. For me, who only wanted more interesting setting and worldbuilding from the the Elder Scrolls, this is exactly what I'm looking for.

Like a low-level d&d adventure in the best way
One of those "collect the ending" games in a fascinatingly horrible and occasionally comedic world
Almost overwhelming with the sublime in a different way than other stuff on this list, this time almost through sensory overload
Hours off aimless wandering through continually novel environments available. Both deeply alienating and extremely connecting in a personal way.
The screaming waterfall and the cubes that go 'blep blep' really speak to me. I would pay $60 for something like this expanded out to the budget of a AAA game, but maybe this is good because its small.
Rarely do I get to play something that one-up's itself so hard so many times in quick succession
A small taste of the excellence of the writing of the Stanley Parable, in a different form
An ecological thriller with really interesting and fresh gameplay
I think I drove through this town in Utah once
Top all time for me. I don't play it the most, but I do think about it a whole lot.
Should be experienced in a single sitting
