Games that I've played and are not particularly bad

My username is usually OrangeNOrange

(I'm still working on this, so some descriptions may be incomplete or some links would lead you to the wrong places, but in general, it should mostly work [Yes I know I've been putting it off despite updating the list with more games I'm just lazy (Yeah I use square brackets to indicate that it's inside of more brackets, go on, fight me)])

Disclaimer: I am really bad at describing games, so I'll just try to brief you on some stuff that makes each game unique. It's very likely that I'll leave out details, either because of spoilers or because I just forgot; I beg of you, watch the Steam trailers for these games instead of taking my word for it.

Also! A lot of these games are different in quality, gameplay and studios that developed them. So they're not really the same. Unless they're sequels and then they're the same. Well not really? I don't know. Slay the Princess isn't Slay the Spire and it's not Rain World, but Danganronpa 1 is basically Danganronpa 2. Kinda.

If you want to purchase or download the games I've listed, you can mostly click on them to take you to the PC store page which is mostly Steam (I'll mention exceptions, and some games are on other platforms like consoles but who even plays on console honestly)

Each time I update the list with a game I just finished or just thought of putting here, I'll put it at the top. The games I haven't finished (or that are being worked on) are down below this list.
It's not ranked in any way or in my chronological playing order. If you want to see how good a game is, check out the store page's trailers and reviews (don't rely on my very own half-baked half-existing reviews).

  • Grimm's Hollow (2019, free) - Your brother is dead, and so are you. But he should be alive. You hope. Short turn based RPG (with a real-time aspect and timing attacks/dodges).
  • Ultimate Chicken Horse (2016) - A 2D platformer where you race to the end... as you build a track? Screw up your friends and place traps or hidden coins and platforms to make sure you end up at the finish first. (Sheep my beloved)
  • Helltaker (2020, free) - Top down puzzle game where you have a limited amount of moves before you spontaneously combust. There are, also, as the description aptly puts it, "sharply dressed demon girls". If that's your thing.
  • Cureocity (2024, free) - A puzzle game as a turn based RPG. Figure out the best approach to combat with your limited skillset.
  • Hydrangea (2024, free) - A visual novel about your sweetheart who's very sweet. Don't question it too much.
  • Balatro (2024; roguelike, but I beat it enough times to put it here) - Poker, but actually not at all poker. Use playing cards to build poker hands from your deck to score points, buy jokers and get more points and keep going until you inevitably fall.
  • My GF Doesn't Know What I'm Into (2023, free, has DLC) - Okay so at first you'll point and laugh at me for playing a game with this title. And yeah I think you wouldn't like it if you're that sort of person because I bet you think visual novels are redundant and we should all go read books instead, huh. But you will like it if you're... not. It's probably not what you're expecting, but still essentially what you'd expect. The DLC also adds a new perspective to the story so I'd recommend that if you liked the base game.
  • The WereCleaner (2024, free) - Top down 2D game about cleaning stuff. Except you're a werewolf. But you hate being a werewolf. But you need a job...! So you're forced to clean as a werewolf and avoid killing your coworkers or being spotted killing coworkers.
  • Detroit: Become Human (2020, has free demo) -
  • Shotgun Witch (2020, free) - It is what it says on the cover. It's a brief top down shooter, and this lady wants her spellbook back, so she does what any normal witch would do: grab her top of the line 12 gauge double barrel shotgun remington to kill them all.
  • Refind Self: The Personality Test Game (2023) - An interesting idea of testing your personality through in-game decisions; despite the appeal of the game being about finding out your personality, still very replayable to find all the extra content in the nuances of the game
  • Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair (2016) - Sequel to the game where you argue with high school students about murder but on a beach instead
  • Slay the Spire (2019; I technically only beat a large portion of the game but I would still consider it complete) - Build a deck as you fight enemies and bosses and obtain new cards. Or get rid of old cards. Or just get relics for passive effects. And die over and over because you really should've taken that other card. This deckbuilder has a lot of customization between the four playable characters and their own depth within their individual playstyles.
  • Our Life: Beginnings & Always (2020, free, has DLC) - A slice of life visual novel about growing up with your childhood friend (who you can also date and make into your boyfriend instead)
  • Pro Philosopher 2: Governments & Grievances (2024) - Argue with philosophers about politics in the sequel to the game where you argue with philosophers (see below)
  • Katana ZERO (2019) - 2D action-platformer where you slice people and then contemplate having sliced said people and keep slicing more people until you don't (passes sick music check)
  • The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog (2023, free) -
  • Minecraft: Story Mode (2015; delisted from Steam, so the link leads you to an Internet Archive download; you can play it on Netflix but it loses a lot of the charm) -
  • Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (2010) - A co-op game (spinoff of Lara Croft) where you platform and fight stuff with guns and spears and bombs and stuff together (or solo if you forgot your friends at home)
  • Clone Drone In The Danger Zone (2017) -
  • In Stars And Time (2023) - A 2D pixel-art top-down view of a game where you're finally at the end of a typical JRPG but you happen to be caught in a time loop (passes sick music check)
  • Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion (2021) -
  • Wandersong (2018) -
  • UNDERTALE (2015) - Amazing soundtrack; amazing story; good pixel-art; amazing writing; unspecified amount of dogs
  • Outcore (2022, free) - Puzzle game that takes place on your desktop: Great soundtrack; nice story; good writing (the plot is somewhat all over the place though)
  • OneShot (2016) - Great soundtrack, amazing story, great writing, really good pixel art
  • A Hat in Time (2017) - 3D platformer about a kid with a hat: Awesome soundtrack; good story & writing; good 3D art; has 4 purchasable DLCs
  • Star Apprentice: Magical Murder Mystery (2021, free) - nice art; good soundtrack; admittedly awkward gameplay that tries to fuse a bullet hell with interrogation; eventual sequel
  • Inscryption (2021) - Deckbuilder with great story and more than the trailer is showing you
  • Minecraft (2009, has its own site, multiplayer support) - Good soundtrack (if it decides to ever start); nice pixel art that's 3D... Okay look there's no way I'm actually introducing you to Minecraft here of all things, like it's literally one of the most well-known games of all time and both of us know it just keep reading the list already
  • Slay the Princess (2023) - A time-looping choice based visual novel where you get get beaten up by a pretty lady: Amazing hand-drawn b&w monochrome art; fully voice acted; good soundtrack (despite usually lingering in the background)
  • Hollow Knight (2017) - A 2D metroidvania where you explore a bug kingdom: Amazing hand-drawn art; a lot of exploration freedom; amazing soundtrack; great worldbuilding; eventual sequel (whenever it's going to be released)
  • Stardew Valley (2016, optional co-op) - A farming simulator where you can also marry Penny specifically (Penny my beloved): Great soundtrack; great pixel-art; good in both singleplayer and multiplayer (even though it's capped out at 4 players if you don't use mods)
  • The Henry Stickmin Collection (2020, but the original games came out earlier) - Remasters for 5 Flash games with a sixth game that builds off of your endings) - A choose-your-own-path adventure game where you're doing a lot of crime, usually in some wacky way; strangely awesome stick-figure art, great soundtrack, insane amount of references to more things than I'll ever live through (including lots of the games in this very list)
  • Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc (2016) - Argue with high school students about murder
  • Doki-Doki Literature Club Plus (2021, remaster of the original Doki-Doki Literature Club from 2017 which adds new content and is also slightly different (but also if you want to you could just play the 2017 one because it's free with nearly everything aside from the side stories and some lore))
  • vivid/stasis (2023, free) - Super funky rhythm game about this one girl who caught up in stuff
  • The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe (2022, remake of The Stanley Parable from 2013, which was originally a Half Life 2 mod, and also has a completely separate free demo on the original game's page) - Game that explores what a game should actually be, and makes you think and laugh and then think about laughing
  • Cuphead (2017) - Classic game about shooting at plants and stuff (not to be confused with Plants vs. Zombies, the classic game where you shoot with plants at stuff)
  • Celeste (2018) - Platformer about a girl who climbs a mountain with sick music and sicker backstory
  • Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (2019, Steam PC remaster; the original three games were on consoles) - Visual novel where you play as a defense attorney to prove your clients innocent: argue with idiots about what actually happened and rub evidence in their stupid faces while listening to music that makes you feel like you didn't just totally fail at showing the evidence
  • Socrates Jones: Pro Philosopher (2023, free) - Basically Ace Attorney if it was an indie game about philosophy instead: great soundtrack, great artwork (even though the backgrounds and characters feel off when compared to each other); both interesting and funny writing, sequel also out (see above)
  • Will You Snail? (2022) - 2D platformer where you're against an a sassy machine that's constantly predicting your next move: great pixel art; awesome soundtrack; narrator that has something to say about everything you do in the game (mocking you for failing or quitting levels, giving you a presentation on his plan to dominate the world, even switching the difficulty automatically if you let him);
  • There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension (2020) - Contrary to its title, this is a puzzle game where you go through different places to solve puzzles with a narrator who
  • Paper Mario (2000; exclusive to the N64, but there's a subscription service that you can use on Switch to play old games like it)
  • Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (2004; originally on GameCube, got a 2024 remake on Switch) -
  • Super Paper Mario (2007) -

Games that seem good even if I didn't complete them
"still in development" or "demo" means that the game still has more to come out (usually chapter basis or demos)
"didn't complete yet" means that I've personally started the game but haven't finished it yet
"unreleased" means that the game isn't out yet and has no demo but seems pretty sick regardless
