Sticking only to ones I haven't seen mentioned:

Phoenotopia Awakening : also a pixel adventure, had trouble with the final boss but the rest is great
Wuppo : flash-animation-style comedy adventure
Alba : sweet game about a girl who loves wildlife
Salt and Sanctuary : 2d soulslike
Legend of Grimrock : tile-based first person dungeon crawler ("dungeon master" spiritual successor)
A Short Hike (really short but amazing exploration game)

TIS-100 : the finest of the Zachlikes; a programming puzzle game
Crosscode : 2d adventure with incredibly fine-tuned combat and puzzles
Outer Wilds : fantastic time-loop puzzle
