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.

I finally got superhot: mind control delete during the summersale. Very simple but engaging combat mechanic, and story is kept to a minimum

Played that quite a long time ago. Such a good game.

Victor Vran's not much for story but the game is fun. You can even find a weapon that launches exploding chickens.

I hear ya, I hate when games have too much story. The stories are never any good and usually outright eye-rollingly bad. I particularly hate when they do "..."

Legend of Zelda, the very first one. Yoshi's Island. FIFA.
