Overcooked with a bit of a roguelike spin. They've added just enough complexity to the simple cooking game formula that it feels less like a party game and more something you have to plan for.
Overall a fun little game with a surprising amount of depth. The main negative being the clashing visual aesthetics. I understand a lot of complexity would come from animating more detailed player models, but they could have at least been of a similar visual style to the rest of the game. The arm-flopping animation for all actions makes it look like a crossover with Humans Fall Flat and ends up looking a bit ugly.

Intentional comedy in games seems to be incredibly difficult to get right but Helldivers did it by creating the perfect Starship Troopers game. The visual tone of everything is so serious that all the shouting about exploding insect monsters for "democracy" hits just that little bit harder.
The gameplay is very tight, with most of the silliness coming from how easy it is to shoot/launch an airstrike on your friends. It's been a while since I've enjoyed a co-op game this much (that wasn't Monster Hunter). Missions can be as long or as short as you want them to be, making it perfect for just jumping on for a bit.
There's also been the added benefit of people with no media literacy outing themselves as idiots when they go online to babble about not understanding the fascism satire in this and Starship Troopers.

I love the SteamWorld setting, love city builders, and loved Lego Rock Raiders, so I assumed this game would be perfect for me. The aesthetics of the game are great but nothing about the gameplay got its hooks into me like other city builders have.
The above ground gameplay feels a bit weak, with basically no challenge. You need to have different types of workers close to an increasing number of services. That's as complex as it really gets. It really could have done with events effecting the city.
The underground part of the game has a bit more meat to it, combining exploration with factory building. However the late game mostly consists of waves of enemies which pose no threat.
