A lot of people are posting games that are short and linear. But to match your energy, games that cannot be replayed unless you forget what you learn;
-
Case of the Golden Idol is a mystery/deduction game, a la Obra Dinn.

Toki Tori 2 is a puzzle metroidvania, where you can do your full moveset from the start - tweet and stomp. Right from the first screen, big chunks of the map can be shortcut through once you put your later learnings into practice.
Seems like one to be wary of reviews for. At each publication, the person who enjoyed part 1 will be excitedly picking up this job, while anyone who disliked part 1 will be passing. I guess the main benefit is it matches the audience; if you didn’t like part 1, reviews won’t convince you this is worth it.
On balance, I like that they’re deviating from the original. I dislike that the main deviation is padding it into 3 games.
Your first line is straight up misinformation. Epic has remarkably few games with DRM, mostly from big publishers implementing their own. I’ve yet to find an indie that can’t be launched directly as an .exe. Same with Cyberpunk 2077, launches directly without issue.
The only singleplayer game I can’t play offline is Hitman, just like on Steam, because their publisher sucks.
Copying a comment I made on the other site;
Recursed, just £1.67. It is a brilliant puzzle game, completely mind bending stuff about recursion and jumping into chests inside of chests while taking another chest with you so you can jump inside it…
Wonderputt Forever - £2.20. Prettiest minigolf game, animated to excess. Less than an hour to beat unless you go for optional challenges. You may have played the original flash game a decade ago.
I recently redownloaded Driver Parallel Lines some 14 years after I bought it. PC is doing so much better than consoles on keeping things backwards compatible - imagine a PS5 casually letting you play PS2 or PS3 era games at no extra cost!
