I paid $10 for Minit and greatly regretted it. The game is only a few hours long so $2 sounds like a much more reasonable price.
Gato Roboto is also a short game but a fun little Metroidvania. You'll get your money's worth at this price.
The Swords of Ditto isn't talked about very much but it's a fun co-op dungeon crawler.
Enter the Gungeon is a great roguelike twin stick shooter. More than worth the cost.
Carrion and Katana Zero are definitely fun but I'd probably wait for them to hopefully go for $5 or less.
I thoroughly enjoyed Death's Door. Beautiful environments, lovely soundtrack, interesting story. Not too much replayability but if you don't mine this one is fantastic.
Cannot recommend Talos Principle highly enough. If you enjoyed Portal then definitely check it out. Great puzzles and a very intriguing storyline.

I agree on Minit, worth $2, but I wouldn't do full price.
Gato is absolutely worth it at this price. Must play for anyone that liked Super Metroid.
I loved Katana Zero and would definitely buy at this price; I want to like Carrion but it just doesn't do it for me (despite really liking Metroidvanias).
I would happily pay $10 for Minit now that I played through it, but it came in a Humble Bundle so I paid basically nothing for it. I can definitely see how it initially might be underwhelming, but it's a grower. A no-brainer at $2, imho.
Alright, you people... based on the responses, I'ma jump on Loop Hero. And as for the games I've played:
Inscryption: Buy, buy, buy. The first deckbuilder I played was Slay the Spire, and we all know how excellent that game is... so after dumping god knows how many hours into that game, I wanted a new experience, so I tried out Monster Train. While I know this title certainly has its fans, my experience w/ it felt a bit hollow compared to StS (not that the game is mechanically bad by any means, but rather it just failed to satiate my desire for a new and interesting deckbuilder).
Enter Inscryption... It's a gd masterpiece, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Paid full price at launch when it launched on Switch; no regrets. While nothing scratches the itch quite like StS, what I most love about Inscryption are all the new ideas and scenarios the game brings to the table.
Gato Roboto: If you're a fan of Metroid-likes, then this comes easily recommended. It's a short & sweet experience, but is injected w/ enough of its own personality so as not to get lost in the shuffle (unlike, say, Xeodrifter or something--which isn't a bad game by any means, but def the most paint-by-numbers entry in the subgenre that i can think of).
Gris: I enjoyed it. This is a hard one to recommend, I'll admit, but--personally, speaking--it was the perfect game at, unfortunately, the perfect time... So if you're just coping w/ one of life's particularly unpleasant moments, then this title can be kinda therapeutic. It's gameplay is very much reminiscent of something you'd see on the Apple/ Play store, but the game's music and art style simply place it a cut above the rest.

If you haven't played any of the MI series, do yourself a favour and go do that tonight.
