Oh I see, so more horizontal movement style games? Maybe Moon Hunters?
I feel like a lot of stuff like that is probably going to fall into the roguelike category. But as a fan of RPGs roguelikes always bug me because I need progression.

Not sure if it’s RPG-y enough, but Katana Zero does sort of match that kind of style
Worse, since if you tip through the game you’re almost certainly just giving that money to the execs
Never underestimate how much people want to see a trainwreck up close. Of course, pirating is free, I doubt many people want to pay money for a trainwreck, so not sure if Denuvo is really going to save them from losing actual sales

If you want something short and sweet, Monument Valley 1 + 2 are both gorgeous and fun. I also had a lot of fun with Sword and Sworcery
I love that it has its own Wikipedia article
