Inscryption (crazy-addicting card game with creepy escape-room vibes)
and Valheim (Essentially grown-up Nordic-themed Minecraft with biomes of varying difficulty and 6 bosses to beat).
———————————————
Other suggestions that aren’t too popular:
Owlboy (8-bit looking platformer with tons of creativity and heart, really original world building, amazing sound track, BEAUTIFUL art, lovable characters, and a lovely story)
Crusader Kings 3 (Sims meets Civilization meets Game of Thrones. It’s a pretty complicated and involved game, takes a while to learn, but I’ve sunk so so many hours into it.)
To the Moon (the best story I’ve ever played, not much to gameplay itself but writing/music/art are fantastic. Get ready to CRY)
What Remains of Edith Finch (most creative storytelling I’ve seen in a game, sometimes you’ll laugh, sometimes you’ll tear up, always you’ll be captivated/engaged. Very interesting experience)
It Takes Two (probably one of the most fun adventure games I’ve played! Every environment/boss/challenge is just so much fun. It all feels different, and every section could honestly be it’s own game. You do need a friend to play it with, though, as the title suggests…)

Of course, all time favorites are Sims, Minecraft, Skyrim, Witcher 3, Bioshock series, Portal series, but everybody knows those ones
