What are your favorite games that you never see mentioned anywhere?
-
I enjoyed it but I've never finished it because it gets repetitive and starts to feel like a grind.
It fits my play style because I game in fits and starts so I've been playing it in chunks.
I liked it enough to go get it for PC after playing it on Xbox GamePass years ago.
The grind aspect is the biggest comment I remember reading. I’ll keep it as an option for one day.

It's such a fun game, I recommend giving it a go, it's one of those games you can play for a long time or just a quick little run through. it's on PS4 now I'm pretty sure.
It was back then too but I was broke lol

Tactics Ogre. I see people drop Final Fantasy Tactics as the greatest tactics game of all time. Then you always see Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, and Disgaea after. People sleep on Tactics Ogre. It's a mechanically superior game to all of the mentioned. It's story is equally as good as FFT. I think the graphics are better. It's a challenging game from the start. FFT was created with the Tactics Ogre director and lead artist to be a more accessible version of TO. People see 90s golden era Final Fantasy and automatically put FFT on a pedestal. TO is like Undertaker stalking AJ Styles ready to obliterate whatever is in its way.
I think this was the game I rented once as a kid and never saw again but pops up as a memory every so often and I could never remember the name.. Gonna check it out again.

Squarez Deluxe.
I've been on a one-man promotion spree of that game for almost 20 years
It is now freeware, it's available on DOSBox, and it is the best shape-packing game ever made - you cannot even debate me once you try it.

- Bionic Commando on Game Boy --> platform game with good graphics and good musics for a 1992 Game Boy game. It's an adaptation of the NES/Arcade game but in a futuristic world and more fluid controls (in my opinion) than the NES one.
- Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle --> really good tactical RPG with a funny universe and awesome music that was released early on the Nintendo Switch.
Yes! BIONIC commando for the Gameboy was great! Tried the NES version once and you are right. Gameboy was superior...

TIL there's an arcade version of Ghosts n Goblins
Thanks for the links!

Kinetica - a racing game where the 'vehicles' are people in mechanical suits that make them look like sexy mecha, racing to old techno
Bloody Roar - a series of fighting games where you fight as people who can suddenly shift into other forms, some recognizable animals and some abstract, and with the ability in some arenas to kick people through walls or over ledges into new arenas
Forsaken - 3D hover vehicle battles
Tiny Tank - a game where you play as a sweary AI tank
Megaman Legends 1 and 2 - Megaman as a 3d adventure game with a storyline and characters
Gitaroo Man - a rhythm game I enjoyed, later imitated by some others
Shadow of the Colossus - more known but not cared for these days. A game in which there are only boss battles. A subtly told story. Part of the ICO universe.
Titan Souls - One boy, one bow, one arrow that can be magically recalled to the bow, and giant stone destroyers that he must conquer with nothing more. Kind of a 2D Shadow of the Colossus
BPM: Bullets Per Minute - everyone has the idea for a rhythm FPS. This is the only one that does a good job of it.
Receiver - a game in which you don't just hit R to reload, but have to go through the full manual of arms, dropping the clip, holstering the weapon, loading each round into the clip, drawing the weapon, seating the clip, racking the round, checking the chamber to make sure it fed correctly, aiming, firing, clearing the jam, all while worrying about killer robots.
Valley - a movement game that has such an amazing feeling of freedom in its movement
Tunnet - lovecraftian network technician game
I remember Kinetica! Loved playing it when I was younger. Still have the disc.

Try it. It's a fantastic game. I think the newest version that came out on Steam is the way to go but a lot of people still recommend the PSP Version if you wanna emulate it. Or you can go all the way back to the SNES version. I don't think there's a bad version of the game but there are definitely better versions of the game.

Perfect Dark. I didn't have a sibling to play with, so I am eternally grateful to Rare for making computer-controlled bots in the multiplayer mode.

SCP:SL(SCP: Secret Laboratory Yes Steam Only
Edit:Fix Link and Grammer
::: spoiler Description/Opinion of the game
a multiplayer Game uses SCP stories, and inspired by SCP:CB(SCP: Containment Breach)/SCP:CB multiplayer, you play as chaos,Mtf,scps,d-bois and scientists. in this game it takes place in SITE-02, you can set nukes, etc.
The goal is you must survive. the group that survives (Foundation,Chaos,scp) will win.
it also relies on community hosted servers.(the devs also host one)
it takes place in a non-cannon site-02.
its pretty fun to play ,and very good for VC, it feels designed for it.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. Even just the soundtrack is worth the price of admission.
One of the weirder concept RPGs and so very well executed. The fact that it didn't gain more traction is madness.
I really should play again with mods

GUNZ The Duel - man that was just so much fun. Online guns and swords gladiator style battles in the most neat stages. I remember an old mansion with broken staircases and balconies, a train station with freight cargo all over the place, an actual roman colosseum, a beach with a grounded ship ashore.
Some people could do this thing called K-style or butterfly style where you slash your sword against walls or other objects which made you lift off the ground, and switch between your gun to shoot as you do so - it was a neat trick which I learned but definitely did not master.
So much fun though.

this game was such janky fun!
wall climbing with the swords was so awesome and i loved that the devs didn't patch it they just embraced it

Shining Force 3. Mostly cause it's marooned on the Saturn but it's so friggin good.

Alas, also no dedicated gaming device newer than a 3DS.
I am thinking about getting a Steam deck of some kind though. Maybe it'll be playable on that?
I'm seeing online that it can be emulated (assuming PC is what they're referencing in the post), but I'm not seeing it directly through Steam.

I rarely see any Ys game referenced. It's gotten a bit bigger, but still a super underrated series.
The Saboteur by Pandemic as well.
Field Commander on PSP.
The original Overlord game (with the minions).

Holy shit, memory unlocked! I think I bought that game from Office Depot for like $2 on clearance when I was buying school supplies.
Now I'm going to have to go perform some sorcery to see if I can get it on my steam deck and baffle a couple buddies!
