As my profile picture alludes to, I love Supergiant Games. Bastion is probably my favorite, due to nostalgia, but you really can't go wrong. Hades is an incredible rougelite with a brilliant story, Bastion is a hack-n-slash with a story about the horrors of imperialism, Transistor is deeply thought provoking and I should really play it again to understand it (maybe it will make more sense in my 30s than 20s), and Pyre is apparently the most emotional basketball game you'll ever play (I haven't played it.)
Pyre's a weird one tbh, you have to enjoy both the basketball minigame and the visual novel sections. Add on that it's in an incredibly odd and detailed setting and most people bounce off of it.
I was like you until recently. Now that I played through it, I can say that I don't understand why people like the story so much. All the characters are annoying, the conflict feels incredibly forced at all times, and the ending didn't pay any of it off for me. I enjoyed the gameplay itself, it's fun mixing and matching the different God boons and weapons. But overall I think it's just an alright game - it was worth playing for me because I didn't have to pay for it

I loved Bastion too! Looking forward to playing their other games
I really need to play Hades. People keep saying how great it is but something keeps stopping me.
