Botanicula (PC, Mac) is a beautiful 2D handdrawn game with cute and weird characters, funny scenes and loads of adventures in a lush environment. The game's basic style is point and click with exploration with the occasional puzzle solving, but it's all done in a real artistic way, you feel like you're inside an indie animated feature while you are playing, check it out:
Tearaway (PS Vita) hasn't been released yet, though I've seen the first images and videos about it more than a year ago - and mind you, this is not a GTA style huge game, it's for a handheld console, so it should take a lot less time to produce it. The interesting thing for me in this game is not only the style, but the way you play it. The PS Vita has a touch-screen like surface at the bottom of it and utilizing that you can "reach" into the game and interact with the characters in completely new way. I don't have a PS Vita myself but this game itself looks promising enough to make me interested.
Lastly here is Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery (PC, Mac, Linux), it's also a point and click exploration style game but with pixel graphics.
The look of the game is amazing, every location is different and though graphically it's simple still there are enough details to keep you sucked in as you try to find your way out. Very cool little game, check it out:
