What are some must-buy Steam games for emotional impact and unique art style?

-

I’m looking to spend 50 euros during the Steam sales and need some recommendations! I absolutely loved Hollow Knight and Outer Wilds, so I’m particularly interested in games that pack an emotional punch, like Spiritfarer. I also enjoy games with distinctive art styles similar to Lost in Random. I’m open to any suggestions you might have!

If you liked Hollow Knight, I highly recommend Nine Sols. It has a similar vibe and features parry-based combat. The writing and characters are top-notch, and it gets really emotional as you progress. Also, Spiritfarer is an absolute must if you’re looking for something impactful!

You should definitely check out Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps! They’re both metroidvanias just like Hollow Knight and come with a beautiful story that really resonates emotionally.

You can’t go wrong with Spiritfarer! It’s emotional and beautifully crafted. Plus, if you enjoyed Outer Wilds, consider TUNIC – it’s less combat-heavy and more focused on puzzles, which might resonate well with you.
