Hell yeah DQM! I imagine an alternate universe where that game took off instead of pokemon. So much fun and I still play it (and the sequels) regularly.
I would love to be able to gift my unplayed games to others.
I guess you do get into a problem where a group of people might swap the game back and forth to avoid ever having to pay for the game. But people will abuse any system, so I guess that would just be a cost of it
If a game is still within the refund window, then maybe it should have an option to gift it. The devs / publishers could keep their money and Steam doesn’t have to process a refund. Seems like a win-win
The Dead Cells devs have been putting in work on their multiplayer rogue lite Windblown, which is super fun. Hades 2 is in a great spot and will keep getting better Risk of Rain (1+2) both fantastic
But for really obscure and interesting mechanics and a true rogue like experience: Noita. It’s pixel graphics but every foreground pixel is simulated and there are a craft huge number of interactions between substances and spells. There’s deep lore that you have to be very dedicated to decipher. There’s an actual alchemy system that changes depending on map seed. Oh, and it’s really hard.
The VA work is amazing, and it controls a lot like Dishonored, but there’s less emphasis on stealth and more on playing how you want. I’ve been able to blend stealth and regular gunplay, and it still feels nice and balanced. The AI seems to have much more awareness and combat ability, so picking how and where to pick people off or start a gunfight is fun!
And since the game is based around time travel, choosing not to kill some people might open up future paths. It’s great!
I should get back to Great Circle, but I dug my 3DS out recently and started Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy. My first time playing the series and I'm enjoying it.
Also slowly making my way through the Sega Ages version of Phantasy Star - a game I've been enamored with since the SMS days, but never given a lot of time. The Ages features make it so much more accessible.
Sounds like you might be into top-down roguelites. Enter the Gungeon, Binding of Isaac, and Nuclear Throne come to mind.
As for games that I would recommend because I just like them, I would recommend checking out Noita, which is a physics simulation/falling sands roguelite. It’s pretty hit-or-miss, but if you like tinkering, you might like it. I’m also pretty partial towards Crypt of the Necrodancer, which is a rhythm/full roguelike genre mash. The full roguelike nature of the game makes it harder to get into initially but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty fun
