    Probably A Short Hike, with Return of the Obra Dinn a close second.

    ASH is great for three reasons:

    1. It doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. You’re done after around 2hrs. There’s a bit more things to do for a bit that’s it. No fat, no filler, no grind.
    2. It’s pressure free. Yes there’s a friendly competition at a few places, but there’s never the impression of danger or anything.
    3. Ambiance feels like being on holiday. Highly recommended if you can find it for a 5er or so to play after a stressful day.

    Obra Dinn is just sodamn innovative and great. Never had a gams with such a pronounced “holy crap that was good” after finishing it. There’s a few spots where the difficulty curve is a tad bit steep for my taste and the inability to jump between memories is (although I get why not included) a bit annoying, but the mechanics, story and visual / sound design just go down soooo well.
