Tunic is very similar to classic top-down Zelda with a shot of Dark Souls DNA in the combat and a fun overarching language deciphering puzzle across the whole game.
Neon White is a first person shooter/puzzle platformer centered around speed-running and finding optimal routes through a level. It also has an incredible soundtrack done by Machine Girl.
I'm told Sea of Stars is also good, but I haven't played it yet. It supposedly cribbed a lot of its gameplay from Chrono Trigger, and if that isn't an endorsement, I'm not sure what is.

I've almost spent the $15 each on Tunic and Sea of Stars more than once. This might finally be the time to grab them.

I also almost bought Sea of Stars. It's good that patient gamer won this round.

Am I out of touch? I've never heard of ANY of these games....

Both Tunic and Neon White were fantastic.

Tunic is a must-play if you were a fan of NES/SNES Zelda games (or really any adventure game from that era)

I’ve heard good things about Drop Dutchy. It’s a rouge-lite Tetris game.
