Yeah those games are legit. I need to put them on the PolonyBox.

Not sure if I'd classify them as hidden gems, but Nuclear Throne and Enter
The Gungeon are fun time killers. Nuclear Throne is basically 2D Doom. The
story doesn't really matter; all that's required is to select your
character, collect a few weapons and kill everything in sight. It's
frenetic, mindless fun and it's very addictive.
Enter The Gungeon is essentially Nuclear Throne lite. The pace isn't as
fast and it's mainly a dungeon crawler, but the gameplay and gun collection
keep things interesting. It's worth playing just for the interesting (not
to mention, wacky) variety of weapons you're able to collect during each
playthrough.
I also picked up Assault Suit Leynos (remake of a Genesis classic) because
I'm a sucker for 2D mecha games in the vein of Cybernator and Metal
Warriors.

Anyone play any "hidden" gems this year?
This one is mine (Rabi Ribi):

One of the highest reviewed games on steam. Once you get past the
terrible furry weeb aesthetic the game is actually great. Great music as
well. Metroidvania x Dodonpachi. You can unlock combos, walljumps,
slides, drills, wall-kicks (like SOTN) and the bosses basically have
bullet-hell attacks.
Very much skillbased as well. Balance is achieved by levelling up the
bosses/enemies as you level (like Skyrim), so there's no real point in
grinding
I beat this boss when I was twice as levelled as this player, but in my
game the boss was at level 60. The difficulty is the same. It took me
about 30-40 tries I think. And that's just because I suck.
