That's a great list! I like that you even played small indie games like Slipways, which I found tons of fun! Bookmarked, our tastes are very similar

Thx :) . I found out about Slipways via Jonathan Blow (maker of The Witness), who was obsessed about it for a while and played it a lot on stream. I like that kind of smaller games you can summarize with "<genre>, distilled", as they often let me enjoy a <genre> I normally don't like.

Happened with Slipways (4X, distilled), but also with Into The Breach (Turn-by-turn combat, distilled), Islanders (Civilization, distilled), or Thronefall (Real-Time Strategy, distilled).
