50. Flower

Flower will likely always be known as the game that led to the later creation of Journey, but it's an excellent, beautiful game in its own right. Legitimately, Flower is one of the most relaxing games I think I've ever played. It serves as a great example of what indie games could present that bigger studios never could. Sometimes you just want to play as some loose flower petals flowing through the wind.

49. Gang Beasts

Gang Beasts fluctuates back and forth beween having me love it and hate it, often during the same play session. It doesn't always work quite right, and I fully don't understand what determines how fast you get knocked out and how goddamn long it takes for your opponent to get knocked out. The game has side modes, but does anybody actually play those? Really the appeal here is to beat the absolute living shit out of your friends and random strangers online while wearing silly costumes. I think the biggest draw is the vast variety of stages; sometimes you're fighting in a wrestling room just to throw people off the top rope, other times you're trying to throw them off of a moving car or a blimp or into the ocean, and in each level the way you have to interact with it feels different. My favorite stages are probably the dangling ones: the dual elevators and the scaffoldings can both dropped if you're chaotic enough, potentially killing everyone at once. In the subgenre of random, silly beatups like Fall Guys and Party Animals (which I haven't played yet, but it looks fun), Gang Beasts still stands out.
