I got to play a few games on your list since my last comment.

Inscryption - I agree with a few complaints, like the satanic ARG being a little too ridiculous and Act 1 being fun, but not good enough to be a full-fledged roguelike. I really enjoyed Act 2 and Act 3, though. I actually really hate Pokemon TCG-style games where I need to craft my own deck, but I found it enjoyable here, mainly because the game is so small. Act 3 is really fun to go through and I never ran into major difficulty spikes. Very memorable game and I don't think it overstayed its welcome.

The Outer Wilds + Echoes of the Eye - One of my favorite games. I played OG Outer Wilds 2 years ago and just kinda left it behind. I decided to try it again and not to "juggle" other games like I usually do, giving it all my attention. Great decision. Absolutely loved everything in The Outer Wilds. I'll give a shout-out to the soundtrack. They have an instantly iconic song with the Travelers' Theme and several other songs are all great in their context and out-of-context. Even silence is really enthralling at times. As for EOTE, I really liked what I got. There are some clear things that they couldn't quite replicate. I think the devs mentioned they didn't want to rely on the scout too much, since it was so used in the base game. And, of course, the time loop aspect isn't really touched on. But yeah, I had a ton of fun figuring out The Stranger and getting past the aliens. The ending is so good and a perfect way to say goodbye to Outer Wilds.

Chicory - Really comfy game. I don't think this touched me as much as it touched you, but I can see how this game has the power to do that. I half-assed the custom drawings early on, but I began to take it more seriously and I'm glad to see my progress in the game, especially with the two portraits Chicory asks you to draw. I think the story is really good, too. I'm trying to improve my creative outlets: writing stories and drawing. Stories take a long time to complete, but drawing can be pretty quick. I appreciate that this game talks about the beauty of art. I haven't picked up the game after completing, but I think I should do the art classes, which I completely ignored.
