Well, I sometimes claim to be a professional. I'm not sure it's entirely truthful, because I only make my money as a game designer in the sense that I'm a full-time student for the next year and a half or so, and I'm going to probably wind up back at a normal day job once I finish my master's.

INSIDE is a game that I've found kind of interesting. It's very dark, and I haven't gotten all the way through it (the underwater section in the submarine just about did me in), but it's one of those triumphs of indies getting more and more capable of creating experiences that are really equivalent to what you might see in a film or novel with a relatively small team (I think Playdead's like 10 people?).

I'm not going to recommend BL3 to everyone. It's Borderlands+. If you loved any of the previous Borderlands games, or even just liked them, it's probably a good game for you. If you really like shooters or ARPGs, it's probably a good game for you. Is it the Mona Lisa of gaming? No. It's a game that is competent, capable, and entirely happy to stay in its niche.
