What are your favorite games that you never see mentioned anywhere?

Flashback.
I played it on SNES, but it was on a few consoles. I heard they are making a sequel so that's cool. It's science fiction with flavours of total recall, they live, and running man. I just really enjoyed the prince of Persia style gameplay but cyberpunk.Parasite Eve
More specifically number 2, because the first one never officially came to pal regions. It's like resident evil but SciFi/body horror. The third game was shit because they lost the rights to the novel it was originally based on. If there's any game sequel that I wish for it would be a proper PE3.flashback is one of my favorite games, after prince of persia and ahead of blackthorne.
i just hate the fact that 3d games fucking flooded the market just as cinematic platformers were getting really good.
instead of even more refined games with better graphics and animations, we got shit like fade to black and pop3d.

Oni had such a cool combat system! There aren't enough single-player action games with this type of combat depth IMO. This video (YouTube link) does a great job explaining it in detail.
Thanks for that link, it really brings back good memories.

One of my favorite games is a hidden gem that I never see people mention. It's called Out of Space and it's a couch co-op game similar to Overcooked with two major differences, it's less frenetic so you can play it to chill out, and it's procedurally generated so you have lots of replayability. For me and my wife it's the perfect game of "let's play a round of something", yet I never see it mentioned anywhere.
This looks great for my wife and I, also our niblings. Thanks.

Sim ant rules, you can be a spider sometimes
There's a cheat code for that.

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.
Did you ever play with the highest level bots? I can't remember what they were called. They teleported behind you regularly. I played with friends occasionally, I liked Perfect Dark better but friends liked GoldenEye. Perfect Dark is my favorite N64 game actually. Farsights only was absurd twitch multiplayer.

Still to this day I hum Black Sabbath when I drive fast or do any fancy weaving.
Heard Sabbath on this game before anywhere else, I still love them so much.

Right at this moment it's Civilization 7. I've never seen it mentioned here, just on CivFanatics forums and mostly negatively on Reddit. It had a botched/way too early release. My personal theory is that 2K knew that GTA was getting delayed so they said no delay for Civ.
New giant patch inbound any day! I swear it's fun. Best combat in Civ so far, and I have played every mainline game for the past roughly 30 years.

wrote last edited by [email protected]the graphics and animations still hold up imo. just make sure it's not Ubisoft's disgraceful remake.

I think they were called PerfectSim. I only tried a few rounds with them; they were nightmare material, especially if they got ahold of any grenade launchers. As soon as I hear the shot go off, I knew I was toast.

Thanks for the tip.

I definitely had a negative K/D playing against them. But they could be handled with a partner and running backwards as much as forwards.

Mortal Sin, a Melee - Roguellike with great visuals and a dev that cares a lot.
ΔV: Rings of Saturn, a hard-scifi 2d asteroid mining game. Great to relax to, a nice community and a great dev, linux native!
Deadlink, a Roguelike arena shooter, tight controls, pretty hard for an aging man like me, but i still like it, even if it puts me in my place regularly lol

mass effect trilogy
Looks like there's currently a 90% off sale.

I do recommend the legendary edition, the graphics updates are actually good. You still need to add a few choice mods but it was a good remaster

Same reason people don't talk about Game of Thrones anymore. The last entry, Andromeda, was so disappointing it retroactively made people like the previous ones less

I think they just never were that relevant, probably because the first one was too RPG and not enough action game for the average public to form a cult following around. Still amazing games that are well worth bringing and nerding over
