Looking for games with unique core mechanics (lemm.ee)

I'm requesting for recommendations for games that stand out from the rest in their genre, and not in the sense of being the best game in that niche but actually bringing something new and innovative to the table. I've not had much experience in gaming, but I have a few games to give you a hint on what I am talking about:

Superhot: Time only moves when you do
Viewfinder: Convert 2D pictures seamlessly into interactive 3D environments
Superliminal: Change size of objects by working with perception
Portal: Portals
Scribblenauts: Summon objects by describing them in a notepad

I am not focused on the story, no. of hours of playtime, date of release or its popularity. It just needs to be playable and be enjoyable (and be available in PC).

This was what I was going to add. It's basically just walking around and finding panels that have small 2d mazes on them, and solving the mazes. Sounds simple and honestly quite boring, but it quickly becomes far more special and ends up being so good.

Some of the solutions made me feel like my brain was folding in on itself before clicking into place
