The Undertale of poetry-based dating sims.

When you think about it, aren't YOU Stanley?

Especially if your name is Stanley.

And you work all alone in big winding office building, Stanley.

Do you like cute monster girls? Do you want to see them beat each other up? Your answers should be "Yes" and "Hell Yes". Buy this game.

It's like Regular Grim Fandango, but fixing the bad parts and leaving the good.

It's like James Bond meets Toad from X-Men, but better than that makes it sound. It's good, anyway.

This game is hella chill. Even when the bridge falls apart and a bus falls into a canyon it's chill. Definitely get this if you like to chill out and build bridges.

Sort of like Batman
You use stealth to fight bad guys
Except you stab dudes

Ultra-violent twin-stick shooter with a bit of David Lynch for good measure.

If I was to pick a single game that I felt validated the argument that games can be considerd art, Gone Home would be it. The atmosphere, narrative, graphics, and presentation are sublime. That said it's not much of a game, more like an interactive movie or 3D novel. Maybe wait on a sale.

It's actually a pretty fun and addictive game, as long as you treat the combos as a sort of puzzle and don't just burn things willy nilly.

The music is good too.
