Headlander

I don't usually like Metroidvanias, having played a bunch of mediocre ones, but Headlander really sucked me in for some reason. Basically, you're a head without a body and steal other bodies to use their abilities. In a sense it took everything I knew DMT about the genre and flipped it on its head (pun begrudgingly intended).
