Cavern of Dreams, $5.19 - Short and sweet collectathon 3d platformer. I finished it in 8 hours and it doesn't overstay its welcome. N64 visual style (you can disable the blur filter in settings if you hate it).
Death's Door, $5 - Cute soulslike combat in an overhead isometric view, not too difficult. You play as a crow, a reaper of souls, tracking down the one soul who escaped from you. You may have to lower settings depending on how bad your gpu is.
Paradise Killer, $5 - A detective game in a world of (sexy) Gods. You have to identify suspects and build a case against them. There is no objectively "correct" culprit. There is also a beautiful 3d environment to explore with some collectables.
Tunic, $15 - Similar combat to death's door but with the added element that progression is often gated not by items, but knowledge checks. You collect pages of a game manual for Tunic written in a language you can't read. One of my absolute favorite games.
Sea of Stars, $22.74 - Very fun turn-based rpg that reminds me a lot of Chrono Trigger. I had 45 hours playtime and that's before the 10 hour free DLC that just released. Timed QTE events for every attack and block a la the (Paper) Mario RPG series.
Rollerdrome, $7.50 - Rollerdrome is the perfect video game. Arcadey shooter on rollerskates with dodge rolls and also you have to do tony hawk style tricks to reload your guns. Unfortunately, Take Two "laid off" the entire team who made it, so consider pirating it instead of buying.
I loved Sea of Stars! Same studio did The Messenger and they have neat little tie-ins. Really felt like they took everything from the 16-bit action RPG genre and distilled out just the good stuff. Lovely game
I liked Death's Door, very cute and it's not a huge time sink, think you can beat it in a couple days.
