Little Nightmares
It doesn’t have a single original mechanic to its name, but its presentation and the overall sensation of playing it make it worth doing so.
Lethal League
It’s refreshing to play a game whose great idea is so great that it’s worth playing despite its scrappy packaging.
Resident Evil 7: biohazard
Despite being arguably the least original mainline entry in its often-ground-breaking series, Resident Evil 7 may actually be the best of the bunch.
Journey
Instead of trying to push the definition of a game at the expense of all else, Journey is lighter on experimentation but heavy on refinement.

There’s actually more to 20XX than just its combination of IPs, but the mixture is highly unstable, so don’t expect a disciplined experience.
Resident Evil HD Remaster
Resident Evil holds up remarkably well. Most of its flaws are evident regardless of the era of release.
