What "unique" or single-game-genre games have you enjoyed? (lemmy.today)

I can think of a handful of games that, despite being games that I've enjoyed, never really became part of a "genre". Do you have any like this, and if so, which?

Are they games that you'd like to see another entrant to the genre to? Would you recommend the original game as one to keep playing?

There's also some console game which I absolutely cannot remember the name of -- I never played it, just read about people who had talking about it -- that used a similar theme of simulating the game starting to break to try to have a fourth-wall-breaking psychological aspect. IIRC it would misdetect controllers being disconnected and stuff.

Yeah, I dunno, can't find it.

This lists some games with that thematic element, but I don't think that the one I heard about is among those.
