Given the big swathe of posts about bad behavior from big companies, I figure we could counterbalance that with some positivity about stuff the smaller guys made that often costs us less too.

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
souls-like/boss rush - Furi, Titan Souls

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

I feel like blufire never got the recognition it deserved.

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. It's not the best game of its genre, but it's better than most.
