Unfortunately the devs went bankrupt.

Dustforce, the best "precision platformer" in my opinion.

I'll post two or three favorites and then a list of a few more.
>Aztez
Imagine a 2D action game with all the combo freedom of DMC with all the enemy aggression and feeling of being outnumbered of Ninja Gaiden. Now give it a historically-accurate Aztec flavor and a Sin City/Madworld "monochrome except for blood" aesthetic. Now imagine the campaign was a 4X strategy game where you have to unique 15th Century Mexico to fight off the impending Spanish invasion by having your legendary warriors calm rebellions, quash plagues, and compete in festivals. That's Aztez. It's the best 2D action game ever made and just a great game in general. You can use the Fist weapon to bob and weave through conquistador gunfire, teleport behind them with a magic dagger, launch them with a spear, switch between them and a sword during your air combo, sacrifice each one's blood to the Rain God, and then steal their guns as a weapon type.

Nex Machina: Arguably the most well made twin-stick arcade game ever made. Made to move fast and designed so that perfect runs on each stage can build into each other encouraging perfect runthroughs for max score. Also fun fact, it was partially designed by Eugene Jarvis of Smash TV and Robotron fame
Frozen Synapse 2: Very technically complex turn-based game about ordering soldiers on a 2D plane to plan out their moves beforehand and then letting turns play out in 5 second intervals. Unfortunately the devs dropped the ball at launch with crashing issues and the game never really recovered. Would highly suggest getting it if it ever ends up in a Humble Bundle as a multiplayer community could come back then
Also suggesting this. I wouldn't have called it a 'hidden gem' back in the mid 2010's, but I feel like most people have forgotten about it and people new on the PC scene will not have played it

Vagante. Really fun, somewhat like Spelunky, but as an RPG with classes, online coop up to 4 players, different classes with different skills you can level up.
It's a roguelite, but a good one at that. There's more focus on thinking things through than on quick reactions.

the end is nigh. literally a better super meat boy that didn't get half the attention it deserved.
