I tried Carrion which just hit gamepass. It's a 2d metroidvania style game where you play as a tentacle monster escaping from an underground facility. It uses 16-bit graphics and has a really cool atmosphere.
Movement is kind of crazy and takes a little getting used to. It's very loose, but the idea is to make the controls really feel like you're controlling this amoeba type monster and it succeeds in that regard.
Also I say it's a metroidvania but it's honestly a lot more linear than most other games in the genre. It feels labyrinthian, but it's more like Metroid Fusion for example.
