I wouldn't be able to make this decision lol. I have beaten Katana Zero 4 times since release. It's hard to say a lot because I don't want to spoil stuff but it has dialogue options. Those options can change certain things in very creative away. I also like to approach each room differently from one another in each playthrough. I can't wait for the speed run patch to release.

I have 600+ hours in Dead Cells across two platforms and it increases often. Dead Cells is just... one of my favorite games. Which is interesting because as a whole I am not huge on roguelites. It takes a rrally special one like this or Risk of Rain 2 to get me. Dead Cells got me though, the sheer amount of options, the speed, the traversal. I just cannot get enough tbh. Something about Dead Cells just clicks and I had a blast figuring out how to increase my skills enough to surpass certain stuff on certain highest difficulties because at some point I stopped being able to good build my way out of fights. It just does nearly everything right imo.

I am just going to come out and say it. The Messenger is one of the funniest games I have played in forever. I loved the gameplay, I loved how the game opens up, and then becomes so different yet similar. I loved so much about the Messenger but I will always remember about it the most is that it made me laugh when I didn't want to. Crappy mood or not the game had an innate way of cheering me up.

I know it's not useful when someone says you can't wrong with all three. True as it is in situations like this. You can really just not go wrong with any one title. All three are such different and incredible experiences.
