I’m requesting for recommendations for games that stand out from the rest in their genre, and not in the sense of being the best game in that niche but actually bringing something new and innovative to the table. I’ve not had much experience in gaming, but I have a few games to give you a hint on what I am talking about:
Superhot: Time only moves when you do
Viewfinder: Convert 2D pictures seamlessly into interactive 3D environments
Superliminal: Change size of objects by working with perception
Portal: Portals
Scribblenauts: Summon objects by describing them in a notepad
I am not focused on the story, no. of hours of playtime, date of release or its popularity. It just needs to be playable and be enjoyable (and be available in PC).
Shadow of the Colossus is an experimental action puzzle game where you navigate a desolate world in search of 16 colossuses you need to kill by strategically and carefully climbing on their bodies.
This mechanic is probably familiar to many from other newer action games. This is where they stole it from, and SOTC still did it the best.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

Also the story is one of the best in the entire history of gaming (IMO).
The other of course being To the Moon.
