At the moment? In no particular order:

Satisfactory: one of my all-time favorite games and an excellent first-person factory builder. THE FACTORY MUST GROW!

Enshrouded: fun fantasy-based survival game with rich crafting and great quests.

Everspace 2: feels like the late-90's, early-00's space sims...arcade, but with depth. It's actually one of the best space sims (maybe even space games in general) in quite some time.

Snowrunner: fun off-roading sim. Drive slow in mud, haul lumber...pretty relaxing until you get stuck then you're like FFFFFUUUUUUU-

Last Epoch: fun indie Diablo-clone. Much better than Diablo 4 despite being in early access and somewhat rough in terms of polish. Really deep character building and a pretty fun questing, crafting, and RPG system.

It's getting a huge graphical update soon, too, plus new classes so don't judge it too harsh based on appearances.

Tough to pick just five, I tend to cycle through a lot of games and most of them are not AAA. In fact I tend to avoid AAA.

Your top 5 favorite non-AAA downloadable games?

Not sure what that means, nor do I think I have a top five probably. That's too narrow.

But here are a few fun great games that came to mind-

• The Outer Wilds
• Faith: The Unholy Trinity
• Fight 'n Rage
• Dusk
• Valheim
• Sifu
• Pac-Man Championship DX
• Alisa
• War for the Overworld
• Signalis
• Guacamelee
• Darkwood
• Critter Crunch
• Amnesia: The Bunker
• A Hat in Time

@RSM-HQ: I thought about that. I think it means no Mario, Zelda, Bioshock, GoW, WoW.

These types of games.

1. Triple Town
2. Game Dev Story
3. Hollow Knight

4. Chained Echoes

Rocket League, Celeste, Cuphead, No Man's Sky, Wasteland III, that's 5 off the top of my head I really enjoyed.

Off the top of my head:

- Ori and the Blind Forest

- Cuphead

- Hi-Fi Rush

- Ori and the Will of the Wisps

- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge

I don't get it. Just my top 5 non-AAA games? All games are downloadable.

Anyway, I don't have a top 5 non-AAA game list. There's just way too many games.

Indeed, I was wondering if Pac-Man would be a reach but added it in anyway because it is generally an amazing game.

I wouldn't say these are really my "top" five, but here's what popped in my head:

Grip. Spiritual successor to Rollcage, and mostly pulls it off. There are times where your vehicle gets stuck on some level geometry, and others where hitting an obstacle at just the right angle will send you flying off into the wild blue yonder, but overall a solid, fast sci-fi racer with a unique gimik.

A Hat in Time is a great old-school 3D platformer that plays better than most of the actual old-school 3D platformers.

Skydrift Infinity. Mario Kart with airplanes.

I'm going to put Samurai Gun together with Slice, Dice, and Rice for almost but not quite satisfying my Bushido Blade withdrawals. The later gets the combat nearly perfect. It's not just one hit kills that make Bushido Blade intense, it's that the hit has to be a solid one. So you don't quite know for sure you've won until a split second after that attack lands. SDaR nails this aspect, but is stuck in a one on one flat arena. SG gives you some space to run around, but victory comes the second your attack grazes your opponent, so a small piece of the thrill is lost. To be clear, none of this makes these games bad, in fact both are excellent in their own right. They just don't quite recreate the Bushido Blade experience.
