45. Steamworld Dig 2
There is something very addicting in digging deeper and deeper into the ground for valuable minerals, taking them easier in early stages of the game then having to mine carefully to ensure they aren't ruined by acid or dynamite in later stages. Those minerals let you buy all sorts of upgrades which only improves your set up to mine deeper and gather more. The children yearn for the mines, as they say. But that's only one part of the gameplay loop. Aside from collecting resources you explore deeper and deeper to unlock new abilities, discover secrets and nab amusing little collectibles. It's an iteration on the first game's style, but with more and bigger ideas and a stronger story. Plus, if you manage to explore and collect everything it opens up a hellish final level that will test even hardened players.
