All the Celtic music in that game is so damn good. There was one song in the game that was so good I would just hang out there to hear it play on a loop. I really liked the game too.

Plenty of people chimed in with some solid suggestions. Just going to be echoing some of those names already mentioned but they are definitely worth checking out.
Dicey Dungeons(fun little time waster to try from time to time)
Deaths Door
Gears Tactics
Ring of Pain
Wasteland 3
Curse of the Dead Gods
Anvil

Just to throw a warning out there for people, I work within a sector thats heavily unionised and personally as am supportive of work unions...
However this story mode on shipbreaker... my god I fucking hated them, you can tell its written by people that have never been in a union before, maybe they thought they where in one in college or something but I just felt like screaming "THEY DONT WORK LIKE THAT!" at the screen whenever the story forced me away from having fun. I get it, suspension of disbelief and everything, but this was just so glaringly awful it ruined an otherwise fun game about breaking up ships in the homeworld universe for me.
I can't imagine what someone with anti union sentiment would think playing through this...
The free cut mode is fun though in a kind of power wash simulator way, but during early access the game was so much better when it had progression but no story and sadly that's not an option now.

Monster Sanctuary. A cross between Metroidvania and Pokemon. It's incredible, and full of content. Lots of post-game stuff to do as well

Not hidden, but both subnautica games are utterly fantastic

I really enjoyed The Good Life. If you enjoy quirky games that aren't really interested in conforming to the mainstream, it's got plenty to offer. (It's from Swery of Deadly Premonition fame.)

Others have mentioned it, but wasteland 3 really is a fantastic game

Very interesting game, I would say it's kind of like a cross between Metroid Prime and Portal. It's got that 3D Metroidvania format and is constantly giving you cool upgrades, but is also full of physics based puzzles that real force you to take advantage of all of your upgrades. It's really cool but never seemed to get any kind of mainstream push.
EDIT: had this typed out already and didn't refresh, I see I was beaten by several hours!

Yes! You guys have listed some amazing sounding games. Enough to take me months and months to dive into.
Think I’m giving Hollow Knight a go first and foremost. I’ll then sift through this amazing thread for other suggestions. So many amazing games listed that I’d forgotten about/haven’t heard of/wanted to play but didn’t realize it was on GamePass

I’ve heard tons talk about Lake. Wasn’t sure it was on GamePass. Nice.Between Donut County and Lake, the service has definitely paid for itself this month!
Here’s some images from Lake:
I really had a lot of fun with this one!

This is exactly why I don't like subscribtions. You have so many choices you end up playing or watching nothing.

Tunic's exploration > Death's Door's everything > Tunic's combat
God that game could have been a GOAT if the combat didn't fall totally flat for me. If you were to put those two games together, man.

The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk.
Dungeons and Dragons with comedy tones meets XCOM.
Its a decent tactical RPG that really caught me by surprise when I played it a few months back.
Be prepared for lots of jokes and swearing which I wasn't expecting at all but the party banter is good fun as a result.

Try Paradise Killer if you like investigation, exploration type games (and anime).
Norco and Chinatown Detective Agency are also worth a go (these are point-and-click adventure games).

Tunic. Maybe the best game I played this year after Elden Ring.

Dishonored, one of my friends played those games and they look really fun

Solasta: Crown of the Magister is an excellent recent addition. It's a tactical D&D game, and it scratches the old PC CRPG itch for me better than a lot of recent attempts (Pillars of Eternity, Torment: Tides of Numenera, etc.). Combat is highly engaging, and you can make it as faithful to D&D or as easy as you'd like with numerous settings. It's also the perfect length for me, coming in at a dozen hours or so.
Because of it's generic name, I'm worried it will get overlooked, but trust me: It's worth looking into for people who like this genre.
I can also tell you which game to avoid, by the way: 12 Minutes. I beat that game hoping the story would go somewhere cool, and it was a wasted afternoon.

Yes, but wait till September when it gets 4k60fps update.
This thread is a good reminder on how many bangers there really are on GP. You would expect people recommending the same stuff, but all of you pimp different games. Awesome!

This! Which is what I hoped for. Not the same 3 games listed 50 times. But a variety across many genres etc
This thread is golden!
