It's amazing that GoldenEye 007 was the result of the developers having the right amount of experience, which is to say very little experience that they made up for by winging it trying as many things as they could.
Also TIL there's a grenade launcher in the first Bunker level and that plastic explosives don't need to go directly on the missiles.
TL;DW - a petition effort has been recently launched to make videogame preservation part of EU consumer law. (attention EU citizens!)

As for the setting, I was skeptical at first, but it works out. See, it's set on a huge generation ship that suffered a failed mutiny some century ago. Parts of the ship are ruled by warring factions or plain gangs, others are scavenger territory. As a result, thematically-wise it's a very fun three-way mix of cyberpunk, post-apo, and hard sci-fi.

Anyways, I built the Citadel Station and Stellar Engine and I was kinda just developing out all the rest of my civ while waiting to see what happens once enough mass is dumped into the black hole. I wasn't even thinking about the Jump Ship because the amount of aerogel needed is tremendous.
I did buy it within the last few years, so it's not from too long ago; it's one of the many games on GOG I've gotten since I stopped using Steam a few years ago.
Roguelite action platformer. The levels actually don't change *that* much, but the exact placement of the level elements is slightly randomized. The equipment you get definitely is. Also there's permadeath.
Oh, equipment. You randomly pick up weapons, but most of the action is picking up "chips", which give stat/ability enhancements. You can't have an unlimited number of them, though -- there's a hex-grid-style list of the ones you have (the grid order doesn't actually matter), and that grid has a limited capacity for the "energy" each chip needs. You'll get far more than chips than you can hold, but you can grind them into crystals, a sort of in-game currency that you can use to upgrade your capacity, your skill with different weapon types, your aptitude for each type of chip, and your other abilities, like special attacks and a multiple jump and a healing injection.
I heard that this game is like Dead Cells, but I've never played Dead Cells.
Also I've heard that there's a setting that lets you play with normal saves and no permadeath, but I can't find it. Oh well, I beat it with permadeath (including losing to the final boss a few times, yes) anyway.
Game is slightly buggy (in amusing ways) but definitely playable and fun. Also, the translation is iffy at times (which I attribute to the Chinese devteam not being great at English), but the story is straightforward, and if anything, the flubs just add humor.

pay attention to the date these discounts end (August 31). this is basically the last place to get them; they're not on Steam anymore.
there's actually a Back to School Sale going on on GOG right now, too, and that ends on September 10.
Let me guess, Bully, Postal, Postal 2... did I miss something fitting the theme? (edit: oh yes, Hatred.)
Bully isn't on GOG, nor is Hatred. There are various Postal games, but I thought that was about someone going crazy in their career rather than in school?
Meanwhile, there's a variety of games about school-age characters from primarily Japanese devs, from actual story-focused games like Tokyo Xanadu to fanservicey things like Akiba's Trip to horror games like Corpse Party.
An upcoming update to the original Alan Wake game (not the remake) will be removing a David Bowie song, presumably due to licensing issues.
If you wanna keep it in your copy of the game, download it and back it up before September 10.
(Sidenote: This is where standalone installers are particularly useful...)
Here's a Moon Channel video about one case where it "works"(?) which also says how it's a mess
