Celeste is a Mario-like, Mario was mainstream. Hollow Knight is a metroidvania, Super Metroid and Castlevania were mainstream. The Witness is a Myst-like, Myst was mainstream. I like the indie scene as much as the next guy, but it's 90% based in nostalgia.

I chose Celeste and Hollow Knight for being the best in the genre, not for creating a genre. The creative game I mentioned is Baba Is You.
