Any good friend slop?
>>731125106peak is pretty good
Ended up being one of my favorite games of the previous year. Really fine sci-fi thriller adventure game.
>>731123446Does this count?

>>731126440>>731126560>>731126576Hey anons, look at this hidden gem that totes nobody has heard of!
>>731126954You're not really selling me it.
>>731124985>JeetnadianEwwwwwww
Idosra: The Electric Renaissance really nice retro platformer with rpg elements. It got a handful of annoying moments but I still enjoy it a lot.
>>731123804>>731124304am I missing something? I'm American and I stay up till 2-4am everyday, sometimes even 8am. For the last 10 or so years? you don't do late night browsing? how did you even get here normalnigger?
>>731128151What the fuck does that have to do with anything
>tfw Steam Next Fest just a month awayI can't wait guys.
>>731123446
>>731128775hoping that guy who throws a tantrum that next fest is ruined if you use the press preview link shows up. I'm using the link either way, it's just a nice bonus it makes him mad at the same time
>more than 10 reviews not hidden
>>731123446Telsagrad 1 is a horrible unpolished game.There already was a follow up called Teslagrad 2 which was much better.Is this game good? I remember T2 still had some jank unfinished feeling boss fights.
>>731129308Press preview work great for me since I don't have time in a week to play all demos I want. Wish the fest would be 2 weeks long.
Any good retro shooter?
>>731130952Wouldn't call them hidden but Mohrta and the other games made by that guy
>>731128904Platypus 2 remaster when
>>731131210It wasn't made by the same guy, but by the company who scammed himSo it won't be remade (it was said by the people who made Reclayed)But there are official mods and campaigns, which is really nice
>>731127735I remember trying the demo, it was weird as fuckHad the vibe of an early 2000s freeware PC game, for better or for worse. Really weird writing too
Gonna give this a shoutout again, demo released a couple days ago and this game has amazing atmosphere and visual flair.

>>731123446Im going to shill Anthology of the Killer Today. It is very much a walking sim and you got to be in the mood to READ but its a legitimately fun little experiance and nothing I havnt found anything elae quite like it out there. Highly recommended if you did enjoy TheCatamites other stuff like Space Funeral or Goblet Grotto

>>731123804jeets are literally everywhere, europe, asia, america, russia. every hour is jeet hour.
>>731131749Honestly that's probably one of the reasons I like it. The vibe that's. Don't care much for the writing to be honest.
Great arcade game, excellent gameplay.
>>731123446I like this one, and some of the other games made by this guyThey're mostly arcady "survive for as long as you can", but I think this one is pretty cool, reminds me of "Akane", a game with a similar concept that I like (but isn't really hidden as it has almost 3k reviews)

death to devs and furfags
I'll post a few with brief descriptions:>Really good Alien Soldier-style game with smooth controls, fun art, tons of replay value, and a great scoring system that ties into the finale
>>731123446Love this game, the biggest issue is its using those bought assets. If youve played a lot of indie games youll know exactly what i mean as soon as you see the in game models. Id love a sequel to this that just uses its own assets and adds a bunch of other playable races and character creation tools.
>Pretty fresh take on a rail shooter where you have to interact with the level you're automatically traveling through while still shooting down enemies to stay safe/maximize score, also the art is extremely cute
>>731137527Not really anthro but for scaly there's Glyde The Dragon, a 3d platformer with dragon. It hasn't come out yet but there's a lengthy prologue for free. There's also Golden Treasure: The Great Green, a vn about being a dragon. And I guess if you need something more anthro there's Crop and Claw, retro jrpg the like of the first FF in a world inhabited all by dragons, but I really didn't play it.
>Probably the best purely-2D action game I've ever played, tons of original ideas but grounded in some clear inspirations. The art is also insane in a good way, one of the most interesting depictions of Hell I've seen
>>731124985>Award winning Canadian cartoonist.
Rare After Burner/Star Fox-style game from the indie scene with a great visual style and pretty fast-paced gameplay. Despite the name/tags the main campaign is a linear, tailored story with multiple routes/endings and the roguelite mode is a post-game thing to get more from the assets (which is the ideal I think)
>>731126576Hide that trash it's no gem.
>Platformer that has Smash-style controls but with enough tweaks to make it smoother for the actual platforming segments, very much a game for people who wanted a better Subspace Emissary
What are the WORST games on Steam you've seen? Hidden Bums rather than Hidden Gems
>Tetris but you need to make a line all one color to clear it; possibly the most I've ever loved a puzzle game that didn't have Tetsuya Mizuguchi's name on it. Fuckton of gameplay & visual options to tweak as well.
>>731142962I've been looking for this game actuallyThe yellow girl with the blue boxing gloves is a battle chip in berserk bits (a battle network inspired idle game), but I couldn't find the game
>>731143107This game is awesomeI played itThe presentation is great, the gameplay is very fun to learn and be good atVery good recommendation anon
>>731126576>Hidden gem thread>Posts coalIt's just a Telltale game but with less budget, more pointless clicking and a even more fucking retarded story.>Every culprit you choose is correct and you can't catch the actual murderer until the final act because he's lucky lol
>Insanely edgy early-mid 00s teen angst aesthetic but the actual combat mechanics are completely original; manages to have a ton of fluidity while punishing mashing and poor spacing with forced commitment you need a resource to escape from. Platforming and that final boss can be jank and I didn't really pay attention to the story but it's a fun 1-hour playthrough>>731143171The dev is making a spinoff that's more Smash Run rather than Subspace, coming somewhat soon since it was apparently a "can I make a game in 3 months" self-imposed challenge.
>Platformer where instead of jumping you kick the little red guy like a ball and he bounces around with physics; I got it because it reminded me of Kirby's Dream Course and there's a little bit of that in there. $10 is a bit steep for what it is though, get it on sale.
>>731123446>Teslagrad>I've had the game wishlisted for over 10 years but always forget about it>turns out there's a sequel too that's been out for nine yearsWell fuck me. I guess I'll take this as a divine mandate.
>Sequel to Taito's old After Burner/Space harrier clone from the GOATs at M2. Looks/sounds incredible and has just the right level of difficulty; also the flying cars gets bonus points for keeping wheels to the ground and can turn into a mech

>>731144635forgot>no AI
farmint sim sisters
>>731146321Is the resident evil? No, friendly neighborhood.>>731146330Really? Salt and sanctuary is by far my favourite. Is there something like that? Only thing I found is vigil. Has ska stopped developing games? AFAIK he needs 5-6 years to make a game. Sacrifice was a huge let down.
>>731133759It depends. If it's under 500 reviews and is over 5 years old, it is a hidden gem.If it released this year and has 500 reviews already it's not.
>>731134480This game rocks and it actually gets pretty hard which I was not expecting going in
>>731144178>https://store.steampowered.com/app/256460/Cosmic_Star_Heroine/It's such a cozy game. I really wonder how he did it. The writing is plain cheese, but somehow it's never too edgy.
Yet another "hidden gems" thread ruined by retards who don't understand what words fucking mean, posting games with fucking 5 thousand reviews. What a crock of shit.
>>731147131Most reviews are shortly after release.Unless a game hits critical mass of attention, the amount of reviews it has 2 weeks after release will be mostly unmoved 1 year, 3 years or 5 years after release. Only updates or spontaneous attention can really move the needle.
>>731145097>Exanimathis tech demo has been "in development" for a decade and it was just supposed to be a little prologue for their actual big gameCan't believe they're still putting out written update posts on how they "adjusted the physics" for the 20th time
>>731143564>teen angst aestheticIs that even a thing
Anything atmospheric? I just wanna play something where I can descend deep into the earth while hearing distant water dripping, that kinda vibe if that makes sense
>>731147451Steam doesn't promote old games because they don't make enough money fast enough.If a 2020 game is at 500 reviews or less today, it's stuck there. It's not making gangbusters money for Valve to promote it.If a 2025 game has 500 reviews today, then it's highly likely making lots of money really fast therefore Valve will promote it to even further people. That's just how it works.
>>731147032>Salt and sanctuary is by far my favourite. Is there something like that?Nothing with the same depth of builds that I know of. Mandragora was a disappointment.You prolly know of Blasphemous already. Maybe check Unworthy out?
>>731147032It's not great but Unworthy reminded me of S&S a bit
>>731147964 (me)oh, and I had fun with Ender Magnolia last year
Fountains
https://www.kartkrew.org/index.html
>>731148879Loved that game. I wish the boss fights were a little less horseshit, ended up dropping it near the end. The map was stellar though. If you want something similar in structure check out Afterplace.
>>731148151Looks a bit like the last level of SnS.>>731147964Mandragora was made in Hungary, meaning pretty cheap and quality labour available and they had like 7 years and afaik plenty o' cash. It's literally unbelievable how they wasted money and time.>blasphemousSure, I really don't like though. Very strong artwork.>upcoming mvCrownsworn might be OK, is likely overhyped. Maharachi looks good, but I'm certain it'll play like ass, last faith gets a free dlc tomorrow, grime 2 and mio might turn out good.High hopes for magnavale. Other than that there are few mv that I don't rem3the name, but nothing all to good.Have you tried chronicles of the wolf?>It's not great but Unworthy reminded me of S&S a bitI beat both SnS like 10 times, but sacrifice is shit compared to the unique atmosphere sanctuary has. The only game which uses bloom in a good way.

>>731149667>read the title as "Dr, Robotnik's Ring Rangers">think it's AU where Tails teamed up with Eggman for one reason or another>it's just a racing game
>>731156540>>think it's AU where Tails teamed up with Eggman for one reason or anotherIt actually is. There's an opening tutorial section (optional) that has a bunch of fun implied lore relating to that.
>>731156796Huh, neat.
It's decent and feels good on my brain sometimes. I never played much of F.E.A.R. but that's kind of what the game reminds me of. It's kind of like superhot. It has diving, slow motion, wall runing, sliding, ragdoll physics, and all of that with it's shooting mechanics. My only criticism is that it doesn't always feel methodical, but that's partly a matter of player agency.
>>731145431have you ever made a game
>>731157243>DX version on Steam neverand the dev could just update the base game if it's a fucking rights issue
>>731156995Yeah. There's not a full story mode or anything (yet) but the general gist is>shadow stays dead after SA2>heroes plays out differently enough the eggman finally gives up, fed up with his machines constantly fighting him>joins tails to work on a new energy source that doesn't rely on living beings>because eggman's a manchild and tails is a child, the way they test out this power source is by building go kartsThere's more tidbits here and there, but the game itself is pretty goddamn fun.
>>731157408It was on steam, they had to pull it. The devs did update the base game pretty regularly until last year. I hope they havent given up.
>>731157243I could never get good at this game even though I loved the concept. I'd grind out the first level for the best rank, get to the second level(it was day time with loads of vertical jumps in like a spiral at the start), never manage to complete then and then give up on it.

Some anon recommended Sanabi in one of the previous threads, and it's really good. Surely not hidden, but somehow I've never seen it being discussed here.
>>731133449Wish it wasn't structured in loops. What's the (I assume final) boss after the hog ship?
>>731158331A more recent grappling hook 2D platformer I enjoyed the demo of is Kats Trigger. It's got combat and a bit of stealth and a super edgy story but it felt very good moment to moment.
