I played the hell out of Slipways
Their slogan "Build vast trade empires, still be done in time for lunch" is on point here. You connect planets with different resources and different industries to an interconnected network in a (turnbased) race against the clock. Easy to learn and always great fun to cram into a 30min slot in your day.
CrossCode! Incredible game, probably my favorite game of all time.
It's so much more than it looks. The music is awesome, and in some powerful scenes, the story is driven forward with musical motifs that make the scenes hit that much harder.
The story is just... really good. I teared up a few times.
The characters are beautifully written and extremely memorable. By the end of the game, you really feel like you've been living with them.
People say they don't like the puzzles, but the game comes with difficulty sliders and you can turn down things you don't like.
You can get it on consoles, or, on Steam, and even GOG!
There is a DLC to this game. If you enjoy the game, DON'T SKIP THE DLC!!! It is THE ending to the game! Some might scoff at "oh wow they locked the story behind the DLC," but no, trust me, it is well worth it. It adds a TON of content and is an extremely well put together finale to the epic story told in the game.
One of my favorites over the past few years is Prey(2017) it was made under Bethesda so I wouldn’t say it’s underground, but It didn’t get the popularity and fan base it deserves. Essentially a open world (as open as a world can be in a giant space ship) that allows you to explore and fight creepy creatures. It also gives you multiple ways to solve the problems you face as well as Multiple endings and story branches to choose from. I played for 33 hours and it was so worth the price it was on sale, (wish I could remember) but it would also be worth $60 as well. It reminds me of a high polished Skyrim at certain points. Would highly recommend
Does Tunic count?
Best to jump in without spoilers, but it's way more than a Zelda/Souls like. So. Many. Layers.
And at a similar depth, but from many years ago. The Ur-Quan masters (space game) https://sc2.sourceforge.net/
