Here are a few, hopefully they aren't mentioned yet:

  • walking simulator/light puzzle game - Firewatch, What Remains of Edith Finch, INSIDE, A Juggler's Tale, Abzu, Nuts
  • puzzle - Manifold Garden, The Case of the Golden Idol, GNOG, Gorogoa
  • misc - Inscryption, Pony Island
  • 3d platformer/adventure - Yooka Laylee
  • metroidvania/platformer - Blue Fire
  • programming - Human Resource Machine, TIS-100

Some of these might be AA, it's hard to tell the difference sometimes. I have plenty more where that came from. :)
