In the odd chance it's helpful, I enjoyed this game and also enjoyed: braid, limbo, inside, fez, super meat boy, stealth bastard deluxe, mark of the ninja, portal 2, etc...
Sorry if this is unwanted noise.
oh i've played a lot of the names from this list. braid, fez, and portal 2 i think i completed, limbo was too hard, smb even more so, i might check out the rest, thanks!
I'm not sure about your taste in games, but Starsector is amazing. Space exploration / smuggling / combat. A bit like Mount & Blade in space in the sense that you build a fleet, pilot one ship in combat (can switch) and issue orders.

It's a very mature / stable game despite not being 1.0. Has been in development since 2011. It mostly just doesn't have nearly enough end-game content without mods. It has one of the best mod communities though. Lots of very high quality mods that are designed for use together.
