I figured it was time to check out some of the more hyped-up games out there, so I've been playing Hades, Hollow Knight, and a bit of Slay the Spire. I'm not sure if I'm at the point where I'm ready to no-life any of them, but for the most part, they all live up to their hype. And the nice part is that they all have sequels available, so if I stick with them and finish/get my fill of them, there is more to come.

I also played Duck Detective: The Secret Salami and it was a really nice short, relatively easy detective game that I recommend if you want a little break from whatever you're currently playing.
