Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia is probably my favorite game this year despite how much I loved Hades, but it's flawed in enough ways that I'm a bit hesitant to recommend it. There's a demo, at least.
There is no bad time to get on the Hades bandwagon.
13 Sentinels is worth checking out if you would like to see how many plot twists can fit in a single game without it collapsing on itself.
Paradise Killer is the last game I played through, and it's very charming and interesting. It didn't really hit for me as the detective game it's sold as, but the world and characters were fascinating enough that it might be worth checking out anyway.
