What unusual genre mixing video games would you recommend to try?

So, I really wanted to like Pyre. I love all the rest of Super Giant's games, and I put maybe 10 hours into Pyre. But I think it was just too much Visual Novel for me. I wanted to spend more time playing the actual game (the rights?), but they only lasted maybe 5-10m and then it was back to reading and flying around.

But yeah, the art, sound, writing, and world are all beautiful. Just couldn't get into a groove.
