8. Headlander

From the masterminds over at Double Fine (who you can thank for everything from Psychonauts to Broken Age), Headlander is a Metroidvania-style side-on action adventure with a concept you just wouldn't get anywhere else.

Playing as a random disembodied head - complete with rocket boosters - you'll alternate between docking with a variety of bodies (everything from gun-happy guards to tiny dogs and random dancers) to flying around various environments yourself, the gameplay being a tight mix of shooting and light puzzle-solving.

It all takes place under a brilliantly enjoyable 60s psychedelia backdrop, mixing wakka-wakka guitar music with disco balls and lava lamps - a recipe that's every bit as enjoyable to play as it is to imagine.
