astlibra is cool. but that game practically started development 20 years ago, and you know how indie games were at the time. This one will feel quite cheap and basic but it gets better as it keeps going and you unlock more moves, in a way it makes you wish you had it when you were 10
Do not play the demo, that will make the game seem like a schizophrenic mess. The normal game is a perfectly fine introduction
If you want a nice mouthwash by playing a 'quirky' game with actual focus on huge gameplay, side questlines where you dont know what to expect, etc, try Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum.
Im not sure how accurate it is to call it an "Immersive Sim" but it has by far the most playstyle variety ive ever seen in a videogame, the skills and perks of the vocations (on top of the already great core mechanics) can be combined into insanity. Its meant to be a short (7-8 hours) but replayable game
It is in fact early access but pretty much all the side questlines are complete, its basically 0.95. It only needs 1 meme gamemode and maybe making the main questline's final mission not be relatively stale compared to every other final mission
I didnt bother with any of the "randomly generated" missions, i just played it for 40 hours sticking exclusively to the hand-crafted content
