After that anglerfish trailer I realized that I really want to play more mystlikes right now (or rivenlikes, to be more specific) It's intriguing that for such big games, after several decades, we don't have that many notable examples. Hopefully OW and BP have made more people aware of the "genre".

Also completely agree on Big Walk's inclusion. I've been crazy for it ever since the first trailer and I'm glad that now people have noticed what it's all about.
