Good singleplayer games without any story? (lemmy.zip)

Players usually want a good story in their games. I can enjoy a good story too, but sometimes I just want to get going and do stuff without listening to several minutes of dialog in-between action.

Do you know any games where there's no story (or very minimal/skippable one), and the game mechanics alone carry the game?

EDIT: Thank you all for the suggestions. There are some that I've never heard of and look very interesting. Will definitely pick some of them up.

  1. If you love enter the gungeon you'll probably love nuclear throne. I certainly love both and both are firmly in the bullet hell genre.
  2. Fewer weapons and a more minimal game loop.
  3. Faster paced.
  4. You level up in a run as you kill things and select perks that change the gameplay a bit.
  5. More emphasis on dodging (without rolling) and killing, it's super fast paced.
  6. Both have fun secrets and hidden levels.
