1
Outer Wilds
AdventureIndiePuzzle
Longer, but the same instinct: a world worth poking at, with no one telling you how.

Journey
AdventureFamilyIndie
Two hours, no words, and a stranger beside you. Still the benchmark for this kind of game.

Firewatch
AdventureIndie
A short, beautifully written walk through a place that feels genuinely lived in.

ActionAdventureSimulation
The literal answer: another cat, another city, and considerably more knocking things off shelves.
