Strong recommendation to read Orientalism by Palestinian American scholar Edward Said, who established Orientalism as a critical concept. It’s very approachable, you don’t need any other background knowledge.

Adding a third suggestion of A Short Hike, really a nice game.

Superbrothers: Swords and Sworcery EP.

Animal Well.

An early one to check out is Landstalker for the Sega Genesis. Hand drawn isometric adventure game, kinda Zelda like. One of my all time faves.

For a good and quick Diablo-like, check out Nox.
