post games that went under the radar but are actually good
currently playing this absolute S-tier game in terms of exploration, power curve and progression. dont even like shooters but this is enjoyable af. and you can make a melee build as well.
>>737133664the only thing thats pissing me off is that im in the final area but i cant find the damn map. since it wasnt at the traders i have access to...
Rebel Galaxy (the 1st one, not the shitty sexual)Pour sovl
>>737133805isnt that the ps2 jrpg where you only spam potions from inventroy ?
Visagethe most stressful horror game I've ever played, with puzzles that are actually difficult.
>>737133851No
>>737133664Have that on my list.>>737133573Hard west is fun, part 2 comingMortal shell is a decent concept game for 2 bucks or so, lone survivor is great, too.
>>737133881Are there other walking sims that are fun/spooky?
>>737134010Layers of Fear 2023Home Sweet Home 2MadisonParanormalHK
>>737133573Spark in the Dark seems pretty decent so far from what I've played, fun dungeon crawler similar to Examina but without the physics based combat.
>>737133573overgrowth. amazing melee combat that puts AAA games to shame. Fromsoft this is how its done
>>737133573digital devil sagagod handninja gaiden 4
>>737134160>Layers of Fear 2023All others layers of fear arent worth a play?
>>737134393HE WHO CONSORTS WITH BEASTS
>>737133881I liked the Easter egg at the end of the demo. It was an appropriate and satisfying tone shift
>Cyber Knights: FlashpointPretty much cyberpunk stealth-focused Xcom, with freeformed movement, hacking that happens in fractions of your turns, punishing but fair alert system thats more of a gradual thing than an automatic bust. Characters are ugly and base management stuff is a bit confusing thanks to an obsessive amount of cyber-jargon, but essentially works like Xcom 2's>Approaching InfinityJust a nice comfy Star Trek-ish space adventure roguelike about continuous progress through the galaxy, upgrading your ship and officers, trading, visiting planets and other ships along the way.>Withering RoomsSidescrolling survival horror with a pretty interesting plot about a nightmare asylum inhabited by dreamers. Exploration is fun, magic system is simple and fun but also requires smart management. Punishing, and visually kinda jank.I bought Grimshire a bit ago, I'll probably give that a go this week. I love indie games.
>>737133573WOah, a Chaos Emerald!
>>737134491they are, but layers of fear 2023 is all three combined
>>737134515was that PT related?
Troubleshooters is one of the most fun SRPGs I've ever played. The fun is in how much control you are given over how characters are played. The game has ~1k masteries which give new abilities, stat boosts, enhance current abilities, etc. And those can combine into an addition 800 or so mastery sets which give even more stuff to experiment with. If you like games where you can tweak your own custom creations to be as close to the perfect build as possible the game is mega fun.
>>737133573Survivalist The Invisible Strain. It's like a survival colony (optional) manager zombie game with dynamic factions and The Thing like gimmick where there's one zombie strain that shows almost no signs and they can infiltrate your group and fuck shit up. It's pretty neat for a cheap game.
>>737134841It was the disco dance
I really liked vital shell. games is pretty easy compared to most other vampiresurvivor like games but I like the ps1 vibe and the music
>>737135009Lucy, kek. it made the full game too
Vampyre was actually pretty good, combat was jank as hell but still fun.
>>737133573far better than i was expecting
>>737134869I came here to post this.
>>737133664did the fov fixes start working again?i tried it ages ago, and apparently they got fucked up due to updates so I never bothered playing it>>737133961hard west 2 has been out foreverit plays better than 1 in a way but I enjoyed 1 more in terms of atmosphere>>737135017it was ok, but I kinda lost interest quickly once I beat all the levelsalso the red robot was massively OP (in a fun way)I recently beat Felvidek, and even though I dont really like rpgs that much I was unexpectedly really into it. Very soulful little adventure game more than anything. Doesn't waste your time. I liked almost all the characters.INCISION was an all round decent if a bit highly strung ogfps where you have limited lives per level. There were 2 or such bossfights that were a little bullshit but overall, really solid really complete game.
>>737134010I find the Tsugunohi series fun and spooky, but all you do is hold forward and enjoy to the story
>>737133573Endling is underrated.You play as mama fox looking for her kidnapped cub in post-apocalyptic world
>>737134393i have known about this game for well over a decade now.is it actually a game now, or is it still a tech demo for the guy's engine?
>>737133759The mountains? The undead cowboy at the very beginning sells the map.
>>737135658its not in his inventory. i saved the mask chick in chapter 2 and she was around once as well but her inventory didnt have it either.
>>737135704Check again. I replayed it about a month ago and he had it.
>>737133573The Guardian LegendOne of the best NES games of all time
>>737135791lul its there now. thx. was apparently a loading bug. closing game and starting it up again fixed it. nicu
>>737133664Agreed!Difficulty was a bit high for me in the beginning, till I realized I couldn't just run-and-gun everything and had to stealth a bit, but once past that it was kino shit. The pseudo-sequel is on my Wishlist.
>>737135919Cool.
>>737135923>The pseudo-seque?
>>737136240Sorry, DLCFollows the voodoo guy on his own adventure
>>737134570>>Cyber Knights: FlashpointDid they unfuck secAI and how it directs guards yet?
>>737136512Oh, that. Yeah, give it a whirl, it's really good.
>>737133573If you like SRPGs/Tactics games then this is unquestionably the best in the entire genre.>Better than every single FE>Better than every single TO>Better than every single FFT>Better than every single X-Com>Better than Banner of Maid>Better than Triangle Strategy If you like these kinds of games, you're crazy to overlook it.
>>737136553What thing? Dunno off the top of my head, I got the game a couple months ago. It has apparently seen a fuckton of updates since fall though.
>>737134465Carmageddon was one of the biggest games of its release, it's not an unknown gem. Everyone knew Carmageddon back in the 90s
>>737137052>better than X-combold claim chud. it doesnt even give the "protect the earth against an encrouching enemy" feel which was the best part of X-com enemy unknown and why x-com sucked
>>737134393Yiffe!
>>737134716Right, got it. Playing line survivor just now. Apparently part 2 is coming. The developer makes music for other titles, even for romeo is dead or whatever the game is called. Bought conscript, too. Plenty say it's better than alisa. Conscript is done via government money, usually a red flag.
>>737134869It's the modern srpg. Modern both setting and recently released. Nothing comes close, neither menace nor Mars tactics.
>>737135408Wth, it's true. 2022? I feared as much that the atmosphere will suffer. 1 has an unique flair, love it.
This game is fucking sick. Easily the best auto-battler out there.
>>737133573Thief the dark project
>>737137052Didn't know it's out. Again only pc.>Better than Triangle StrategyNo generics, no buy. Nearly skipped Jeanne bc of it. Fun game though, Jeanne I mean.>codename bakeryIs it that good? Have you played othercide?>>737136553Is this rather like shadowrun or rather shogun tactics?
I had a lot of fun with this game, it's a little jank but fun. It's basically fire emblem/xcom.
>>737137137Big words ngl. Personally I see tactics ogre as best trpg, but I haven't played any xcom, yet.
>>737137052Man I really like SRPGs/tactics games but I just could not get into this game. I think I put 10 hours into it and kept bouncing off it. Game just felt super swingy due to how strong items are so when you have items the game is fun but when you run out of them you stop having fun. I'm also pretty sure you are supposed to replay missions to farm items as well which might explain why I was so starved of resources.
I didn't feel like lockpicking the door
>>737133573>post games that went under the radar>>7371336645476 steam reviews>>7371338818518 steam reviews>>7371343936133 steam reviews>>7371348699273 steam reviews>>737135258Fucking 73,351 steam reviews.This isn't cherry-picked, these are the first replies with images in the thread, and the only one I skipped was fucking Carmageddon.Hidden gem thread NEED to make fun of people posting popular games, or you get this shit.
>>737137594>Is this rather like shadowrun or rather shogun tactics?Turn-based like Shadowrun but with Shogun Tactics' vision cones and no tile-based movement, everything is done using action points, including calculated movement distance and all that.
>>737138139I've barely heard of the games posted itt so by the OP they have definitely gone under the radar. Go be a cocksucking faggot elsewhere.
>>737138139>my yardstick is Steam and I provide detailed statistics.*cringe*holy fucking dork alert
>>737133573Project Ignis EDOPro
>>737138259I've actually never heard of Green Hell either. But it sold more than fucking Super Metroid.Speaking of, here's the hidden gem I recommend. Best metroidvania I've ever played.
>>737138139I find it a bit unfair to judge so harshly if a game has over a X amount of reviewThere's a space game I've been playing that has 2k reviews. It's also sub 10 bucks so very accessible and yet you look up the stats for it on sites like gamalytics and it's barely 70k sales total.It's still very obscure and considering that out of all the userbase on steam and there's like a sub 1% of people that even seek out indie shit to play in the first place.
>>737133664I played it recently, it was alright but that's it. It's marketed as>an immersive stealth FPSbut the stealth mechanics are a joke.It's a solid 3/5. Not bad but also nothing special.
>>737133573More games should do enemy morphing.
>>737133573>>737139678And Horrorvale is honestly one of my favourite games of all time.But I think that mostly stems from me loving Halloween aesthetics as I come from a country where it has never really been a thing.
Mmmm gems
>>737138139Since you want to grab numbers like a faggot, keep in mind that Terraria has around 600,000 reviews. Between the large review count and how many people actually use Steam, yeah, you can argue those games are under the radar.Stop bitching just because nobody is reading off the New Releases section
Particle Fleet: Emergence. Great musichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmDHZ4CMBE0&list=PLI-2mpp8Me2xSCqFkszfXnMP6UdX1mE29&index=1
>>737137618There's another game in that universe. Worth a play, too?
>>737135258Are the survival mechanics fun or even innovative?
>>737140862Interesting ost. Composer? >>737133573Waiting for >the pines>tactics returners >a good crpg or trpg (can't find one)
>>737134869Are the costume set dlcs just visual or do they have stats? I got that game a while ago, but never played it.
>>737141792The costumes are just visual and a lot of them suck lol. They only exist because fans wanted some way to donate to the devs so they made some random skins to sell.
>>737133573I always shill Gunlok on hidden gems.Gunlok is an RTS in which you control 4 characters with different charateristics.https://store.steampowered.com/app/254900/Gunlok/Gunlok is a non-mediocre jack of all trades, with higher damage. He can also perform a special attack that oneshots most of the enemies in exchange of a bit of HP.Elint moves slowly, but places mines fast, and has access to special abilities, such the possibility to disable things or to repair allies.Hark is fast and tiny. He can go in places other can't reach, but he is slow at placing mines, has less HP, and has bad accuracy especially when moving. Good for scouting and distracting the enemy.Frend can wield the heaviest weapons, and has more HP, but moves slowly.
Horizons GateGreat little fft clone mixed with sid meyers pirates.
This was fun
>>737142715I got to the point I saw that hideous literal faggot in the opening cutscene and was honestly so disgusted by its appearance I turned the game off.It genuinely looked like some of the trannies I see around here.
>>737142564I've had my eye on that for a while but how bare bones is it? Like is the sandbox stuff even satisfying the way Pirates! was in building a name and rep for yourself?
>>737137460yeah i found it funny that the most common criticism was that you can't "make a epic dnd party" and that is more what the sequel isWhat the original did wel is tell you a bit about the world, make you feel like something really bad is just about to happen but you can't oversee it enough to truly understand, then you switch characterseventually you get to link between otherwise nonconsequential characters to get a better understanding but it does well like a good horrormovie to not show you too muchalso really fucking good music, bought it on a whim around christmas when i was with senpai and my mom kept telling me nervously it creeped her outhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_Vxjs-KUss

>>737133573Worldless was pretty cool.
Got this thing for free on Steam last year. Was expecting some low effort shovelware, but this one is kind of a decent action RPG. Don't expect a roguelike because this thing is not one, despite the @ being the player character. This one plays more like classic Gauntlet than anything. It also has a really funny gimmick where most of the game's text is unreadable and you have to rescue letters of the alphabet to understand what's going on.
>>737146137
>>737146196
>>737146295
>>737133851That's Rogue Galaxy, and it's amazing that to this day, people are still mindbroken about actually needing to stock & use healing items. The game has a massive list of things to have a problem with, and yet you choose THAT to be the dealbreaker for you.
>>737141330not the original poster butinnovative mechanics? yesfun? hell no
>>737146425
>>737133573Mildly disappointed this wasn't a gems in vidya thread. I'm very magpie-brained and love looking at gems, crystals and jewels.

>>737143421Are you recc'ing Zenonia the series or a particular entry? I've played some of them but it always seemed after a point like the grind was artificially inflated by a lot to encourage you to paypig for exp boosters and such. It was fun for most of the time I played though. Couldn't really get into the HD ones, since the monetization felt really bad.
>>737133664
Northern Journey was a true gem, hopefully he learns to code so the next game is less jank.
>>737146563weird cover for such a soulfull game
What if Dungeon Keeper was a roguelike?
>>737142908Its pretty indepth.Reputation, noble titles you get to conquer port cities for your kingdom of choice.You just cant create your iwn kingdom
>>737147049This game was distilled comfy kino.
This is worth keeping an eye on. The dev updates it every now and then.From what I understand, there was a bit of drama where troons got assdamaged over the family legacy mechanics. tl;Dr if your character dies but married and had a child, you can choose to continue the family legacy as that child. Marriage is only through opposite sexes and that was of course problematic, but the dev told the troons to fuck off so they tried review bombing the game.Anyway, it's already really fun and there are some great mods for it, but it leaves me wishing there was a bit more to do since right now, the only real goal is to establish a settlement. Some sort of story quest chain or something would be welcome but doesn't exist yet. For a roguelike sandbox, it's pretty decent.
>>737133573Remnant From the Ashes and Remnant II. The two best (((Souls))) games on the market by a immeasurable degree.
>>737133573If you know ball you already know is the only down side. Not a lot of the deck builder market is unaware of chrono ark's absolute supremacy at this point.
>>737149507The best (((souls))) game I played was the story of red cloud, a terraria map/mod
>>737147425I should look into that again.I really want a DF-with-more-to-do (or a dungeon keeper with DF moddability). I last tried it like 15 years ago and it was bare bones at the time.The concept of a low-scale colony/dungeon simulator is IMO ripe for exploitation via unique settings, but every commercial attempt is just so boilerplate basic. What about being a dragon with a hoard that you grow either by raiding the region or being its benevolent protector (taking tribute from civs/tribes that worship you), or being mindflayers with an elder brain to serve, or being a forest spirit like Holo. You don't even need to do anything revolutionary with the mechanics (though each different 'archetype' should probably have something unique about it and new mechanics will develop from that).DF 0.34 had some of that with different civs like orcs, necromancers/warlocks, gnomes, kobolds, but it all still suffered because it's still DF with very shallow progression and no real goals besides survive until you die.Fuck's sake, why did I
>>737137052nah, it isn't as good as >>737134869
>>737151438Your ideas make me want to dust off my coding skills and try to make mods for it. It's been a while for me.All that shit sounds super dope and has been something I've been wanting in a game too. Closest I've gotten has been Conquest of Elysium to an extent, like, there's a great mod for mindflayers and shit. Then there's Shadows of Forbidden Gods that scratches a particular itch too.
>>737150175The game is good but I hate that I can never recommend the game because /v/ is full of people who don't play games and just shit on it because muh card game. Same shit with Library of Ruina.
>/v/ pretends to like kemomimi girls >yet this beautiful game was completely missed sad, really
>>737150175the gacha made me buy cronoark
>>737149507Remnant 1 was great Remnant 2 nuked my PC
>>737134393
>>737153532>Remnant 2 nuked my PCThat's a shame. And yeah Remnant 1 for the core gameplay and build craft was a superior game for sure. Remnant 2 perfected the art, map design, and had generally superior bosses. The real thing that makes Remnant 2 a gem is how psychotically deep the developers went in the procedural map/dungeon generation and how INSANE they were with hiding things in the world/using puzzles. With the exception of 2 things (you know if you know) they were all something you complete and discover if you had hyper autism for exploring every inch, taking in every subtle clue given (visual, auditorium, verbal, written and thematic clues). Genuinely mind blown by the one where the game keeps hinting about something to do with sand and losing your breath and a life after death only to find out you can experience some extra content/get an extra cool item if you sit in the right spot in a room filling with sand, get buried in it and die from suffocation, then respawn in a new zone that has no other entrance, and it is a LONG fucking time you have to sit there and slowly get buried alive.In genuine awe of the dedication to their craft and love the sense of reward for uncovering all the secrets in that game. Because of that I spent 10x the amount of time in 2 vs 1, despite 1 being more satisfying mechanically (summon builds were just infinitely better in 1). Sucks you couldn't experience it anon. I'd let anyone come over and play it on my 5090 FE and 4K 144hz OLED if they were nearby. It's that good and that worth sharing.
>>737135864This game is a freak of nature masterpiece and is my favorite NES game.
I shilled this game in /v/ since it only had 600 overwhelmingly positive reviews. Now it had 1500 overwhelmingly positive reviews.

I really liked the unique setting and world building of this game, graphics is basic but the game is good, kinda want to play it again, it's been a long time
>>737133881the first chapter is really goodeverthing after that is mid

>>737157168I was on the fence for thisplayed sephonie and was more apreciative of it than truly loving it, the concept seemed fun though
>>737158013to be clear, i didn't love AE. the gameplay, despite the level variety, gets pretty stale and the ending sequence, despite being an insane left turn, drags on like crazy. but i will never forget it. also the mine level goes on for far too long.

>>737155297I pity the anons that may try this game because of this post.
>>737133573Before the Echo (formerly Sequence) is an indie game developed by Iridium games. It's a rhythm game with 3 seperate boards. One is attacks on you: hits negate damage. One is spells: attacks, buffs, and debuffs happen here. Missing a hit cancels the spell, hitting all arrows cast it. And one is mana: hits restore mana. You switch boards at will and the writing and story aren't bad. Voice-acting is pro. The grinding is real if you want all items and spells (like me, 3 playthroughs over again), but the soundtrack is really solid. The game builds up a difficulty curve perfectly with tracks' BPM and guardian power, which is an effect, like all arrows vanish for 10 seconds, that happens on every floor (you scale a tower), and the source of which is the floor guardian- a humoring character that is the boss of the floor.I posted it since I really liked how I got good with the game and up until the climax boss (who changes the rules of the game a bit). All bosses gave me a laugh, all tracks got my heart going, and all difficulty was according to a neat curve.Nothing is overpowered or underpowered for you. Though now I play like a pro, so it's easier for me to perfect (or close) a battle. Or cast spells and regain mana fast enough to ignore the damage board and race to a victory.Also, the credits are a sweet audiolog of the MC voice-actor (Danganronpa's own Beyakuya) and Iridium studios CEO talking about all credits and bringing voice-actors in order of appearance to talk about their role in the game.There's a secret ending in addition I always got that you need to craft a special item on each floor and combine them all to get yourself.
>>737159340Why would you pity someone about to experience true Kino. None of that shit with sanded off edges, just pure, raw, unfiltered, unfettered, autism.
>>737159340I got my fill watching a video on it.
>>737133573Carto is an indie game developed by Sunhead Games. In the game you play as a little cutiepie manipulating a map. The map is made of tiles you can move androtate on the greater map grid. One tile may have a house, another a lake. The level and your map match so a tile on a map represents a level area, so the housemarked on the map can be visited if the tile connects to the one you're standing on. There are also collectibles you unlock with puzzles. The point of the game is fibish the level's map and solve all puzzles in it. You'll meet odd characters, solve many puzzles, and find hidden paths in the game.I chose this game cause I liked the minimalist design, clever puzzles that are rewarding to solve, and the plain cuteness of the game. Definitely a gem to be seen.
>>737133573There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension is an indie puzzle adventure game developed by the French company Draw Me A Pixel. In the game your goal is to play a game, which a voice tells you doesn't exist. You solve clever environmental puzzles like using set pieces as tools like screwdrivers and other new puzzle mechanics on each level. It's a nerrative game with a lot of hit or miss humor.And the focus is on humor.All in all a funny game that'll hold your attention for a few hours. It sure has a charm.
>>737133851No, it's a modern version of Elite
>>737133664>>737135923i had to restart the game like three times. i would start, die, get a debuff, enemies would respawn and i would have less ammo, and i would get frustrated and give up. it wasn't until i realized that shops restock on rest, then i restarted the game and kept resting and buying ammo until i could get around without getting absolutely blasted because i had no ammo. game became easy after that. still fun, but easy.
>dragon quest monsters joker 3 professional is legitimately the single best monster collecting game ever produced by any company>completely flew under the radar because it never got an overseas release and the only team working on a patch just fucking quit for no reason
>>737133573Thomas Was Alone is an indie game developed by Mike Bithell of the studio Bithell Games. The voice actor and narrator for Thomas Was Alone is Danny Wallace. In the game you play as Thomas (a rectangle) and his friends (other shapes). Each shape is personalized by the narrator and becomes very human. One shape jumps far and only does so to boast to the others, another is flatter and fits a small hole to pull a lever and may be very shy. You need all shapes to pass the level to finish it.I picked this game since it's absolute art in gameform. The writing and voice-acting are top-notch. The puzzles are rewarding to solve. Iirc the music is good. It evokes enotions as well as cyriousity. A total gem!
It occurred to me i haven't played a single game released in 2025. What gems from that year did I miss out on?

>>737161574It's unfortunate but expected these days. The kind of people who would have bought these low budget anime games now become gacha addicts.
Not gonna lie, anime is a red flag for me. Sure, there are some exceptions, but most times, the games with anime art styles are hot fucking garbage.

>>737137102The part where guards have no real autonomy and have to wait for Sec AI to very slowly lead them towards your last known location.They spawn in. I'm in a gunfight somewhere near with cameras looking at me. The expectation is that they should be booking it towards me, even trying to flank me during said gunfight, but Sec-AI is retarded and instead has to take the newly spawned guards on a tour of shit that happened 4 turns ago while the guards are in their slow walk cautious patrol mode, unreacting to either the sound of gunfire, cameras catching intruders(because sec-ai and only sec-ai handles this part) and any nearby bodies.

>>737133573Imperium 3It was pretty popular in Spain back in the 00s, it's a very solid RTS set in ancient history where the main focus is upgrading a preset base rather than build it unlike Age of Empires or Dawn of War, having to conquer villages and strongholds to get supplies lines running to your hub instead of instantly generate income. Lots of factions and unit variety. All units level up and has an inventory system like Warcraft 3 heroes, and also must bring supply mules wherever you go for long distances as they can die of hungerAlso comes with a in-game level editor, I remember doing eyecandy levels on it. It's a pretty game, reminds me of Sacred.

>>737133573Pilgrims is a game made by Amanita Design.In the game you combine cards to get a next part of a story. So a knight card and dragon card have the knight slay the dragon. Just way more combos and stories.I picked this game for being short yet sweet, having a fun art design, its clever puzzles, and great folklore stories. Amanita Design rock and this side stroll into weirdness is no different.
>>737134223Is this like this 12 year ea game? Exanima?
If you liked Shadow Warrior 2013 but couldn't figure out why Shadow Warrior 2 and 3 seemed like soulless trend-chasing garbage, well, you're in the same boat as me. But they made a game in the same era called Evil West that was actually great. Plays like a weird mashup of character action games and third person shooters. Extremely satisfying once you get into the groove and pop off combos, reposition and dodge when necessary, shooting weakpoints, etc.

>>737133573In Rochard you play as (VA of Duke Nukem) John Rochard: an astro-miner with a gravity-gun initially able to move boxes around. The ship you're on is being taken-over and a bad guy plots evil schemes. You need to beat him by solving physics puzzles as well as some mobility challanges in low G, using your G-Lifter to move, hang from, detonate, or stack objects on a level until all enemies are gone and you reach the other side.I beat this game in 6-7 hours with most upgrades, but should be 6ish hours or less. Good puzzles and upgrades. Slow ramp-up in difficulty as you go and VAs who are just pros. A good few hours spent space-mining.

>>737133573Primordia is a point-and-click game developed by Wormwood Studios and published by Wadjet Eye Games. In the game you play as Horatio Nullbuilt, a stoic robot who scavenges for spare parts in a post-apocalyptic wasteland alongside his sarcastic floating companion, Crispin.You believe in the great Man who created robots in his image ages ago. In the beginning something is stolen and you must find it.This game is unique by letting you fail a puzzle if you try something dumb; like trying to catch an AI who is hopping from one screen to the next by breaking screens with a hammer- eventually all screens are broken and you're no closer to catching it. There are usually other ways to bypass obstacles, so that the story never gets stuck. Also the game's writing is very good and amusing with some robots believing that robots began as a lone circuit that built a better, more complex version of itself that did the same until modern complex robots were making more robots. It's similar in vibe to Fallout 1 and has a very special art-design. A one of a kind point-and-click adventure.

Anyone tried playing Rogue Point singleplayer? I'm not into playing with others but I've seen some gameplay and I am thinking about picking it up just to play single.
Its a very fun game, lots of builds and in general exploring the world feels rewarding enough. The plot is kinda neat too.The dev is working on a sequel, you can try the demos for both games.>>737133664>>737146196>>737147049>>737134869Supporting this ones, real good shit here.

A little basic but pretty soulful dungeon crawler, has cool demon designs. Devs made 2 sequels and apparently got hired to make Dungeons of Dusk.
>>737167931I agree Primordia is good but it runs into the same "chicken with a pulley in the middle" problem that plagues the genre.

>>737157168How good is it? I'm on the edge because while it's a homage to classic Ys, it was also made by the Anodyne devs, who went full on gay with every single they made after the first one.
>>737161574these games filter themselves hard by looking like mobile games. even if they are good im unlikely to try them bcs they remind me of cursed mobile shit. but they arent on mobile so the devs picked the worst of both world. they have to go back to ps1, ps2 and gamecube jrpg/gameplay presentation if they want a hit imo.

I FUCKING LOVE THE ETERNAL CYLINDER. I LOVE IT SO MUCH I'VE PLAYED IT FOUR TIMES ALREADY, I PLAN TO PLAY MORE. I WILL NEVER STOP SHILLING THE ETERNAL CYLINDER. I WILL MAKE MY KIDS PLAY IT.You get a cute little critter to start with that can assimilate some foods into it's biology for new powers, and you can collect more dudes to add to your party, up to 12(??) I think. The main goal is to outrun The Eternal Cylinder between safe stages and make your way across the planet looking for any way to escape. It also happens to have some music that I've personally quite enjoyed:https://youtu.be/XAeSASBvxUw?si=YfaTjMY0ADb9LBMPIf that's too mainstream for you, then, uh... The Maw (2009), I guess. Creature In The Well is also pretty nice, It's vaguely like Pong or pinball, but you're a robot electrician in an abandoned underground power plant.
Some anon on a previous hidden gem thread shilled Who's Hungry. A relatively well made and charming RPG maker game overall but the human characters are annoying. Luckily you don't interact with them much.I also strongly recommend Wooden Ocean. It's probably my favorite JRPG by far despite its flaws.And check out The End of Dyeus. It's excellent.

>>737163227It's usually on fanatical in some bundle or other, I got it in one of those bundles with 7ish yuros per game.
>>737133573I say this in every thread such as this but I really liked the game Crawl. Great for short MP sessions in the living room.
>>737170419I'm pretty sure 20 000 reviews on such a gigantic platform like Steam counts as hidden. I for one have never even heard of these games.
>>737167252I got more satisfaction from beating hard bosses in this game than I did in Elden Ring. The only thing I didn't like about it is the checkpoint save system.
>>737177750
Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom is a platformer where you play as a taxi. There's no jump button, only a boost, so you have to boost off parts of the environment to get around.
>>737174208they try their best to keep the gameplay fresh but there's too much game for it to not get stale. but it's definitely fun for a while.game looks like it's going to get hella gay but it swerves well away from that, the protag just looks zesty.
>>737177981Yeah, the difficulty tuning is VERY tight. High skill floor. Going from struggling on one vampire boss to late game juggling one of those and a bunch of other enemies at the same time and handling it no sweat was a very satisfying skill progression.

You use your first tool to aim and charge up energy orbs and your second tool to smack it into enemies and power conduits; there are lots of different alternate tools to choose from for different builds. Play it, dudes.

>>737137052Absolute shining chinkgem. Game of the Year 2024>>737138032Nah, the game isn't balanced around replaying missions. I played on Challenge+ and never replayed a mission. The game is also very tightly balanced around the consumables (up to a certain point in the game) so that you have to carefully use them to complete missions. If you are running out before the end you are probably misusing them early on (either using them too often or not using them in the most effective way).
>>737141430The only good crpgs are Underrail and Age of Decadence.
>>737187279>The game is also very tightly balanced around the consumables (up to a certain point in the game) so that you have to carefully use them to complete missions.I'm not gonna lie anon I think this is pretty shitty game design and just lends towards knowledge checking missions by knowing how they play out to maximize consumable use. Its part of why I didn't really like the game because blind playing a mission sucks with how often the game loves to spawn squads on top of you.
>>737134393Holy shit what a blast from the past. There were regular threads for this game like 15 years ago
>>737178884Okami

>>737142564I tried that one recently and you really need to like at least one of those two games for it to click, I think. It was a bit too fiddly for me in both the combat and the sailing. Definitely has a lot going on though.
Recommend me anime games but they need to be good from a gameplay standpoint, to the point where you could replace the cute anime girls with buff dudes and the game would still be worth playing. No roguelikes and no gacha.

>>737135258I tried this with my friend and we got hard filtered
>>737138139What about a game with 286 reviews?
>>737187501It's very good game design. It encourages you to be smart, have foresight, and use every tool at your disposal. If you are getting ownzoned by mid level spawnins, then you are playing too recklessly and need to improve. The main reason why the second half of the game isn't as good as the first half is that your characters' stats get so good that they can start clearing levels without needing to rely on careful consumable use.
I have finished it yet but Tobiden is amazing, must play if you like old school adventure vibes. It is an RPGmaker game if that bothers you, but there's so much ambition and charm (and content, shit is 100 hours long) that it feels more high effort than a lot of published JRPGs.Only issue is that in classic doujin game fashion there's a LOT of obscure shit that's very easy to miss if you go completely guideless and the game's sheer openness can be overwhelming, but once you start unlocking more party members and get involved in the main storyline I was hooked
I love this game and it's 90% off right now. Some of the best punching I've ever seen.
>>737188148It's primarily a tactical grid-based RPG, like Disgaea (which is another fun anime game you should check out). With a little bit of shop management on the side. You can just skip most if not all of the dialogue and still have fun.
>>737188007Not particularly hidden by any metric, but AI Limit.
>>737188349>It's very good game design. It encourages you to be smart, have foresight, and use every tool at your disposal.NTA but that's trial and error AKA looking for the correct order of actions the developer intended to be the only way to solve the mission, which is the worst way to design a strategy game. Good to know my gut instinct was right when it told me to not bother with that game even when /v/ shilled the fuck out of it.
>>737188349>have foresightIt just leads into the problem with consumables as a mechanic. Either you use them or you don't thinking that you will need them later. Normally this is fine because consumables in most games aren't that strong so not maximizing their usefulness is fine. In RC prior to the second half you NEED to be maximizing nades, mines and anything else that can delay the enemy. I would be playing a level and have a ton of enemies stacked up and think 'oh this is the perfect use case for a grenade' and then use one. Only for the game to spawn a squad directly behind you which was the intended use of the nades you picked up earlier.I'm just not a fan of that style of gameplay. It makes knowing how a mission plays out way more of an advantage than other strategy games I like.
>>737188703I played the first Disgaea game years ago on my PSP; I liked it but for some reason never bothered with the sequels. Still in my personal experience porn games always are bad games because their focus is on the sexual content, not the game itself. >>737188790Already played it. That's the kind of anime game I'm looking forward.
>>737133573>Elex (1)If you like eurojank games in the Gothic vein, that is. Once you get a feel for the combat, it's quite enjoyable; soulful gameworld; shame PB went under, and Elex 2 was dogshit.>Lost Eidolonstactics type game, small studio and as a result a bit janky, but quite fun as well.(Veil of the Witch is kind of fun too, same game world, but more of a (((roguelite))) or whatever the term is for the type of gameplay loop where you start over on each iteration of a gauntlet.>Lords of the fallen (2023)Only a hidden gem in that at release it looked like a giant smelly turd, but since then it's been patched and improved to gem status.
>>737137052I remember this game. I couldn't get over how shitty it was. Maybe the worst SRPG game on the market.
what are fps adventure games like story about my uncle, valley, and mirrors edge
>>737137052can you stop shilling RC like an obnoxious faggot, i actually like this game
>>737188835The game is pretty heavy on the trial and error. I remember an early puzzle mission that is too long for its own good and has an A or B option to solve the mission. You can only choose one and you can't undo the choice with the choice being which turrets you disable to sneak past. I chose B not realizing that disabling the bottom row of turrets makes the mission no longer beatable and the mission needed to be restarted and option A chosen to beat it.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3470170/Queens_Casino/Cool and unique card game where you have to battle cute anime girls and every girl has a different rule set, and a hard mode (that also makes them naked).

868-Hack is one of the best video designed video games I've played since Space Invaders. It plays like a mix between a traditional roguelike and an arcade game which is actually closer to how some of the early rogue-clones were before people decided they wanted these kinds of games to have infinite content, monsters, and loot. The Nethack lineage vs. the Pac-Man lineage is one way to put it.

>>737179241999: 6/10 interesting but a lot of critical information is conveyed like "oh, hey random thought did you know this random factoid that titally wont become relevant later?"VLR: 8/10 sometimes convoluted just for the sake of it but it's the best in the seriesZED: 1/10 *M I N D H A C K*
>Siralim Ultimate>Dark Hunting Grounds>Dungeons of Sundaria>Dwarven Realms>R.I.P. Reincarnation Insurance Program>Rogue: GenesiaI fucking love roguelikes. I've been addicted to halls of torment this past month, unlocked most of the stuff and reset it three times now. Looking for my next roguelike addiction, preferably one like halls of torment/vampire survivors/death must die
>>737191481stop clowning around and play a rogue like with actual good combat like Risk of Rain 2
>>737191550I tried to get into it but it didn't click with me, I like top-down more I guess
>>737191656play 20 stages to unlock the engineer. he is the best class to get into the game. once you are in doing monsoon runs +8 on multiple characters gets you tons of fun hours.
>>737191550>RoR>Good combatAnon, i don't know how to break it to you but nobody plays RoR for the combat.
>>737191820RoR 2 you clown. not the shitty first game.
>>737168240I was kind of disappointed by the withering realms demo but withering rooms is really good.
>>737191870Risk of Rain 1 is unironically better though.
>>737191870You need to be 18 to post here.
Abandoned but there's a lot there for $8. Really fun if you like maining healers in MMOs, there aren't enough single player games that let you be a healer
>>737179824Translation:>"We want that wannabe AAA asset flip not games with SOVL that acts like kryptonite to us normies"
>>737191870The first game is better. RoR2 is just chain proc spam: the game. It's fucking boring.
>>737133573Not sure how under the radar is Cortex Command. I dont see anyone talk about it ever anymore, but it's still a lot of fun if you get over the jank.
>>737193587Back in the day it was relatively popular I think.In hindsight, it was really more of a tech demo. There was barely any actual gameplay. Still liked it
>>737193587I have cortex command but never bought or redeemed it, it just appeared in my account someday.
>>737188835It's not trial and error if you can complete the levels on your first time through with no reloads, retard. It's also way more forgiving on lower difficulties. If you're having to do full restarts on normal then you're a brainlet.

>>737190749Unfortunately somewhat ruined by the autistic tryhards online. You need to find a good group of friends who are about your skill level to really enjoy this.
>>737195191It's got a good enough singleplayer to be worth it anyways. I never win online races but I think that's fun, too. It's always fun when I manage to eke out a 4th or 3rd place even among people way better.
>>737133573Even better: diamond in the gutter>furshit>is actually pretty fucking good
Sektori. very fun twin stick shooter similar to geometry wars

Trench Face, less than 600 reviews and only mentioned 5 times in the /v/ archive since it releasedYes, it's rpg maker slop but I like it
>>737133573Literally the best SRPG of all time and it's barely mentioned online
I don't know if this is good. Anyone try it?https://store.steampowered.com/app/2996080/TAMASHIKA/
I'm monitoring this thread.
>>737198465>ruining blincat with aislopkill yourself
>>737185484Why tf do they call it strategy game then? Looks good, will play eventually.
Barely anyone played it, even among the MH community, but this one was a genuinely great attempt at another hunting game, especially as a first try.A sequel with more content, fixed performance and more reliable tools building could unironically be better than Wilds.
>>737187409>Age of Decadence.Really? Thought it's buggy as hell?>underrailIsn't that cuck for all? Waiting for swordhaven to be fixed. Fans say it's worse than underrail.

>>737178884Worldbox is by far my favorite god game of all time but I'm not sure it classifies for this thread. Check it out if that's what you meant.
>>737178918This looks interesting but what's the deal with being "early access" even though it released in 2017? Is it complete, abandoned, or in a constant state of being worked on by a passionate dev?
>>737155297One of the most underrated indies of all time, I loved and hated every second I spent in it.
Everyone who knew about this game has already died of old age except me, but it is an amazing game, one of the best Western RPGs of all time with a unique concept of confrontation between thriving Steam Punk and decaying Fantasy Middle Ages. Lots of choices and unique mechanics, classes and buildsThe true masterpiece Nobody talks about this game anymore because it never became a franchise. This is not a typical D&D rpg like many other video games of this genre at the time, this is something absolutely bold and uniqueEven if you are a young and naive and really enjoyed things like Witcher 3 or BG3 you should give it a try
>>737182231didn't the voice/creator of Conker also made this game?Sadly it seems like they didn't update their age rating and it's therefore hidden in Germland
>>737201751>but it is an amazing game,Amazing game that borderline is unplayable because its a buggy glitchy mess that requires 100 patches to barely work?>The true masterpieceThe true masterpiece with one of the worst combat battle systems ever made and extremely horrible controls and enemy design?>Nobody talks about this game anymoreMaybe because the game barely works, is a buggy mess and has one of the worst gameplay ever made?>this is something absolutely bold and uniqueUnique =/= masterpiece or amazing gameI can take a shit now and make it unique, that doesnt make it good, its still shit.>Even if you are a young and naive Young and naive are retards who repeat old and tired propaganda that games like this broken piece of shit are good games because it generated memes on the internet and because sseth made a funny review about it.Post one interesting webm about this game now
>>737187409What kind of retard still believes those Crpg retard low iq shills?You have to be special kind of 4trash retard low iq cattle to fall into these psyop posts.
>>737202118Just download the gog version pal You should never play old game like this on steam
>>737201751I never heard of this game but if what >>737202118says it's true, it gives me similar vibes to Quest 64/Holy Magic Century/Eltale Monsters I really love the unique battle and magic system and occasionally come back to it due to nostalgia but it's not a good gameI always hope someone will make a spiritual successor to it
>>737201751I don't see the point of games like this one, the original Fallout games or the Baldur's Gate games. If you want the tabletop experience, why don't you just play a tabletop RPG instead of a scripted campaign that just imitates the real thing?
>>737202118>Post one interesting webm about this game nowwhat is with this newfag horseshit where a game can't possibly be good unless it looks good in a webm
>>737200882Constant state of being worked on.The game is finished but it keeps getting cool additions, last update if I'm not mistaken the dev added mini bosses that spawn under various conditions and chase you through the whole game to get you.
>>737202538Because sometimes it's a vehicle for a story, Planescape, Disco Elysium, but a lot more times the devs forget it and just make a TTRPG system and call it a day.
>>737201751>Went under the radar but has an accumulated 10m+ views across various YouTube channels and had seen a resurgence within the last five yearsSure thing, buddy.
>>737162418Nah, faggot devs think obscuring mechanics in a strategy game makes it hardcore srs bsns. Its cancer in reality.
>>737202538Because they are different experiences.

>>737133573Hard Corps Uprising
Breakdown for original Xbox. Namco FPS with great attempts at immersion (eat burgers and drink sodas to regain health) and sweet melee combat after the MC opens up their powers. There’s some time travel shenanigans which I’m not usually a big fan of but they do well and it changes up the final cutscene/ending. I always post it in threads like this/“games only you played” with no responses so I feel it’s safe to say it flew under the majority of folks radars.
>>737167252I hate that I missed out on the physical edition of this.
>>737146295Sparkle and SHINE
>>737167252This game's weird because it's really arcadey, but then it also has scripted walk and talk and GoW climbing sections.
>>737203802I mean, add images to a novel and it becomes a visual novel, add some light stat-based mechanics and it becomes a crpg.They are novels, just embellished to have a better presentation.
>>737205773This game was so short. I walked up to the bitch, stabbed her and refund it in like 30 minutes.
>>737205923>frogposter>retardedEvery single time.
>>737146551Why are those gems so yummy?
>>737201751i tried it but that background soundtrack turned my nerves into mush within 5min. one of the most obnoxious sounds i have ever heard.
>>737205923
>>737205954Why do you want to play short boring visual novels? I don't see the appeal of 20 dollars for so little content.
>>737206095The game has like a thousand different routes, it's meant to be replayed. Holy zoomer.
>>737133881this game was complete random trash until the blue knees chapter
>>737206142>thousand different routesWhy would I want to kill the same dumb bitch a thousand times? I can't imagine a more boring way to kill time.
>>737147419NA always had retarded game covers
>>737206290You mean KINO covers. NA Megaman box art is peak.
>>737135258I played this with my friend and we thought the wife was cheating on us with the tribe.
>>737206095Idk man I think I got my money's worth.
>>737187556>Overgrowth>Holy shit what a blast from the pastyeah, the blood rivulet physics were so good looking. But the combat seemed too unforgiving, like getting AWPed in counterstrike.Chris-Chan is posting on youtube weekly btw
>>737192202>there aren't enough single player games that let you be a healerare there even two?
>>737203236All the *adjective* West games
>>737206390>29 hours of killing the same bitch over and overGoddamn, that's the worst kind of autism. Do you also watch the same movie over and over everyday or same TV show over and over everyday?
I'm the only person who played this master piece. And I'm not being sarcastic, the gameplay is tight as fuck and the soundtrack is a banger. story is both serious and goofy like in a 50s/60s alien movie
>>737203236"If on a Winter's Night, Four Travellers"
>>737206621H-how do you know anon, are you on the spectrum too?
>>737193867Holy shit Gabibbo
>>737133573This old school gem deserves to be mentioned on this thread, yeah, is a sequel, but story, characters (you can be on both teams), and gameplay was highly improved compared to the first one done a couple years ago (which it was great too) regardless it took too much advantage of the use of the control with its own mechanics for sure. Pretty fun and enjoyable game that aged like fine wine.
>>737206925>H-how do you know anon, are you on the spectrum too?of course, it's pretty great isn't it? Comfy even.
>>737207057You should also kill the princess more than once, it doesn't click until after the fifth time around.
>>737206925the ZX Spectrum
>>737207139Yeah I know, just shitposting. I couldn't get into the game but I see the appeal. The art was really nice at least!
>>737206989I believe you but the cover makes me think of gay porn.Not like there's anything wrong with it h-haha.
>>737207213It has a very millennial writing that also almost made me give up on it, but overall I'm glad is stuck with it.
>>737207493*I've
>>737198532No joke I liked it better than Monster Hunter in some ways. The component combinations were really fun to use and added another layer to the combat that MH doesn't really have. The monsters were mostly great, and there were even plenty of people playing it to matchmake with which surprised me since I played it just last year.
>>737207279
does anyone know any games like story abou my uncle valley and mirrors edge
>>737161972Based, I’m going through it’s sequel right now.
>>737133664I played it and I thought it was fucking boring
>>737146137Took too long to load each round, and running around the stages was pointless.
>>737206995Team buddies was the shit. Loved that game. Played it on a demo disc for a long time then found it randomly in an ebgames one day.
>>737134635Yep! I just handed to find one of the seven emeralds during one of my test flights. This thing's got unlimited power, ya know. So I figured why not use it to power my plane? Super charged!You've GOTTA come over to my workshop. There's something I've gotta show you!
>>737198532>first tryWeren't the dev team also responsible for Toukiden? (As much as any dev team could be said to be the same after 10+ years.) So they had some experience with the concept.I remember it had unironic weeb subs. Like it just left things like 'masaka' in the subtitles.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/645730/RESONANCE_OF_FATEEND_OF_ETERNITY_4KHD_EDITION/Currently 10 hours in and outside of the game having a really rough start if you don't look at the controls and read the manual to actually understand how the combat works, I've been enjoying it a fair amount so far. The map traversal is also kinda weird, but I guess it's a way to force some form of grind through rng tile sequence drops. I'm not sure if I'd say it's worth $35 yet though, more of a put it on your wishlist till a sale happens kind of game.
someone recommended me a comfy turn based rpg. Preferably retro that has snappy combat, basically fast animation, no long summons/spells etc

>Came out 3 weeks ago>200 reviewsI liked the game, levels were alright, the porn is little, but good, i just wish it had more bosses, 2 bosses for 6 areas is not enough even if they're good.the 3-4 robot was my favourite, music was fantastic and it's actually a platforming boss, but i think the stage should've been infinite, kinda like the sky babylon boss in sonic rush adventure

I don't understand this hipsterism about games having more than 1 Steam review = mainstream omegadogshit. Being popular is inherent of good games because they have such high quality they're liked and talked about by most people genuinely interested in the hobby.

>>737216243For threads like this it makes sense. People want games that someone that digs deep through the garbage finds. If a game has a few thousand reviews it's most likely known by people that already do just below the surface digging already.
>>737133573I just know I'm gonna be called gay for this

A very charming roguelite dungeon crawler whose puzzle mechanics and delightfully strange artstyle makes it worth checking out.
>>737142443Sounds like a game called Project Eden.

>>737216787Why its a fun game. You being a fag is just a coincidence
SULFUR. it has some of the best gunplay I've seen in an indie or triple A shooter. guns sound satisfying, it even has a 50 caliber SMG or a shotgun that can shoot 300+ pellets at once when upgraded. Also dead island 2 gore system but with 2d sprites, so every bullet impact is recorded on the enemy model.
>>737133573I usually shill the lakeview cabin games in these threads. The original game is to this day the best thing to ever be uploaded to the Newground game portal. The whole series is good. A fun little tribute to classic horror movies and the perfect thing to pick up whej halloween rolls around
>>737221663Looked fun but isnt the main chsracter gay?
The Deathbulge game was pretty fun. It's sort of a cross between Child of Light and the South Park RPGs. It's not that long and made me laugh, would recommend
>>737207493It had some pretty good vore too
>>737221663I only played it a little because I'm waiting for it to come out of early access, but I really liked my time with it.
>>737216596Wishlist-ed a few of these to come back to when I finish my current games
>>737221905idk about that, you play as a priest, but you can have a gun that can be enchanted with charm bullets and brainwash any enemy into fighting for you.
>>737133573Easy Red 2 is an incredible game. Mountains of content for history autists and people looking for a singleplayer battlefield. The bots are more than bots.
The Eternal Cylinderbut every ACE Team game has so much going for it, I think they might be my favourite devs.

From walking around and casting a spell to main menu in 2 seconds? And permadeath? Idk man.
>>737145114>>737155547>>737164980yeah it's was a nicely done game and very beautiful and chill

>>737133664Loved this game. Getting headshots was INSANELY satisfying. Only bad thing about it is that a lot of content feels half-baked.
>>737226359for an indie game from a polish studio i would say it is very crisply cooked their other game is postal and other lower scale projects i think

>>737226478I mostly knew them for ELDERBORN which was a weird souls-ish FPS that had a really generic intro followed by an incredibly cool ancient megacity, it's a shame the first few hours were skyrim caves because the back half was incredible.
>>737182231>game by CBFD devs How the fuck have I never heard of this?
>>737188835yep, its more of rigid puzzle game than srpg
>>737226478I mean mostly in terms of the story/setting. It teases a lot of content that you never actually get to see or engage with meaningfully. They tried to do a lot of environmental storytelling but most of it came off as confusing and left me wanting more to be explained and fleshed out. Settings that blueball my curiosity really get on my nerves,
