I felt this way about Supraland. It came out of nowhere from friends recommending it and had already been out for years, and once I tried it, I couldn't put it down and had to see it to the very end. Now I'm eager to play the sequel! Absolutely a new favorite series with a unique spin on first person world puzzles & Zelda-like progression.
I've moved almost all of my game playing over to Apple Arcade these days because the games don't track you, don't have ads, don't have scummy gameplay tactics (like paying for loot boxes, etc.), and just generally don't annoy the crap out of me.
My point being that I want something new and different and interesting, and that isn't a crapfest of malware, tracking, and financial extraction.
