Kicking off the list is 2018's Game of the Year nominee. No small feat for an indie game that competed against triple AAA titles Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man, Monster Hunter: World, and Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

Whether you live for indie titles or prefer triple AAA games, it's hard not to have heard one or two things about this breakout game, but if it has, for whatever reason, skipped your radar, then make sure play the critically acclaimed pixel art platformer where you control a girl named Madeline on a journey to the top of Celeste Mountain.

Braving tricky drops and clever puzzles, quick fingers and a perceptive eye are required to get through a game that melts beautiful music with a layered and rewarding story.

A typical playthrough will require roughly 8 hours of play and for completionists, that can very easily quadruple into 36 hours depending on skill level and leisure.
