I really do hate the term 'metroidbrania'. I think so do many of you. Let's nip it in the bud before it becomes something people are financially invested in.
Against 'Metroidbrania': a Landscape of Knowledge Games
What are knowledge games? How do we relate them to each other? What sub-genres exist – and which ones might be implied?

Just finished Motion Rec.
If you love puzzle game that explore a single mechanic in deep way (like the great Öoo by @namataka.bsky.social) then you will adore this little robot!
Another little masterpiece from Japan

Spooky Express and homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte (so unusual in Italy) is the perfect combo. Anyway the game is so good and runs well on Steam Deck.

I never 100% games but Time Flies deserved it. You can decide how you want to spend your time in your life, but dedicate 2-3 hours to it and you will not regret.

Here's a film about the making of I AM DEAD, which shows a bunch of Richard Hogg's concept art for that game, and digs into how we drew inspiration from the town of Hastings on the south coast of England, where he lives.
