A game that's not mentioned here yet: Outer Wilds.

You know how your high school English teacher tries to get through your brain about what "sublime" means and why the Romantic Era writers cared about it so much? The meaning of the word never really clicked for me until I played this game. It is pure, distilled sublime. It presents nature as this simultaneously jaw-droppingly beautiful and existentially scary entity that I've never seen any other game come close to replicating. For anyone who hasn't played it yet, I heavily recommend it.

Note: don't confuse Outer Wilds with Outer Worlds. They sound similar, but they could not be farther apart

Yeah what an unbelievable game. The music really hit the feels button for some reason. I still need to play the DLC!

I highly recommend the DLC! The best thing I can say about it is that it's more Outer Wilds, with the same level of world-building, puzzle-solving, and emotional impact.
