I didn't think it'd be this hard to list 5 of them! Lol. I am a huge fan of Shovel Knight though. I own it on every current-gen console I own.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (I have more than 500 hours in this game and the original combined, there's no way it isn't first)
The Beginner's Guide
The Stanley Parable
Undertale
Pyre

Curiously, it's mostly narrative games, with exception of the #1.

No particular order. These 5 games have stuck with me in a way that no AAA games have this gen.
Maybe that's an indication of my changing tastes in gaming more than anything, but I'm glad the Indie scene is absolutely thriving right now.

Could easily go 5 more as well.

here
undertale is a narrative game?
while a lot of it's gameplay mixes bullet hell shooting and RPG, a lot of the game is story and character focused

every enemy usually has multiple nuggets of lore you can find by doing different things, and sometimes those things are directly referenced by other enemies or in the world itself

its p neat

i wouldn't exactly call it a 'narrative game' really, but i could see the angle

Outer Wilds, JJ Macfield and Lisa would be next up.

Don't see many mentions of Lisa. Y'all should play that one, especially if you dig Undertale.

I wish I was smart enough to get into DF. Or rather, that I had the persistence to power through the steep learning curve. I kinda topped out with the likes of Crusader Kings II, RimWorld and Kerbal Space Program. I hope to give DF another shot when it lands on Steam.

Nice shoutout for Caves of Qud, btw. For some reason, I actually did manage to crest that mountain.
