God bad news for you: There aren't. Most of them are soulless cash grabs, or shameless copies of things that are or were popular -- with very obviously low effort.

Like someone mentioned Tunic, but it's just LTTP with newer graphics. Hollow Knight is just Castlevania but bugs. The first Ori was interesting since you often couldn't fight directly, but then it just became Castlevania with shiny furries.

I can't think of a game that Hifi is a copy of. It has elements of like DMC, and elements of that one rhythm valkyrie game, but it's not a copy of anything.

People worship indie, but it's often bad or just mediocre too.

No, that isn't it for me.

For me it's the fact that it's something new, and it has personality. It's not just a shallow, soulless copy of a Soulsborne, it's not some regurgitated competitive FPS, it's not a shallow "open world" sandbox... it's its own thing, and it takes it to 11. It's not just some hollow attempt to cash in on what's popular.

And then you look at how the world and story is designed: It's just an adventure. You're not stopping some universe ending threat, there's no apocalypse, you're not some grimdark war-scarred fucking monster... you're just a dude on an adventure. The game doesn't have all the ridiculous drama and grimdark uber dark fantasy that literally everything else has.

Added onto that, the game treats itself as kind of a joke or comedy routine. Lots of gags, a fucking hype man to narrate, and so on. It's not edgy and dark and brooding.

And, one of the biggest things? I haven't even seen an option to put money into the game. It's just a game, like they used to be.
