Hades would be my choice if you're looking to be challenged. Give it a few tries on normal difficulty, and if you're getting your ass kicked it has a great casual friendly accessibility option to turn on a slowly scaling damage reduction that will eventually tune the game to your skill level. You can turn it off at any time, and there are no penalties for using it.

Psychonauts 2 is also a solid choice. Overall it was an excellent sequel and definitely worth playing, but if you're looking for a challenge look elsewhere. It's a casual platformer through and through. It's still a great game in it's own right, though IMO it doesn't take as many risks as the original Psychonauts and didn't quite hit the same emotional highs.
