Surprised I haven't seen one of these threads yet
First run is easy and getting S rank isn't hard, but it gets really fun when you unlock extreme mode.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1876850/Babushkas_Glitch_Dungeon/ Reminds me in style of a Pixel game, but it doesn't exactly play like one. Puzzle platformer with a lot of charm. Hidden secrets and rewards breaking intended strats. About 2 hours long.

Kynseed, not a bad one, recently got an update to (which caused it to catch my attention on Steam)
Very simple and short metroidvania but it's a lot of fun and the characters are extremely charming.
I alone have the power to find hidden gems the natural way. No one spoonfeeds me gems, all the gems in these threads filter down from my recommendations.I'm like an explorer who maps uncharted territory. You're'll casuals who get told where to go. When I play video games, the walkthroughs are still unwritten. I find my way to the end all alone.

>>742011105Sure, by all means get everything, I'm just confused why you praise the DLC so hard when they base game is much better anyway.
>>742011260Oh I like the base game. I was just expecting the DLC to be rubbish because I'm an Arkane hater.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/846110/The_friends_of_Ringo_Ishikawa/Worth it for the setting and soundtrack alone, but I hate the pace of the game and how long it takes to get story/character growth moments.

>>742017007>>742017058Because GOH has dogshit soldier AI, a worse campaign mode, much worse implementation of planes, worse implementation of field engineering/mines, worse conquest mode, etc.GOH is an inferior game in every way, outside looking better (and running much worse in turn).
I assume these threads are mostly just devs trying to stealth shill their games.

>>742010227Is this a shoop or...?Need sauce if real.
>>742018570It's not a metroidvania, it's a survival game where the goal is to make it to the next checkpoint. The art and world was neat, but if it's not selling you on mechanics it's got nothing.
>>742016978Maybe The Roottrees are Dead? I went from it to Demon Masquerade when I wanted something similar
>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2101110/Touhou_SouzinengiV_The_Genius_of_Sappheiros/Very cool oldschool turn based 2hu JRPG that pushes the classic 4 niggas in a row formula to its absolute limit Has tons and tons of very varied characters all with their own builds and possibly synergiesIf you play on Hard it gets outright brutal and almost all bosses require you to use your brain, there's a shitload of variety in the fights and how you can approach themIt's also like 200h long if you want to do everything...There's a sequel I haven't played that's apparently more Saga inspired too. Also on salehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2250790/W__The_Devil_of_Decline/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1647310/Trench_Lord_Eastern_Front/Trench Lord Eastern Front is massively underrated. It's a WW2 action game in the style of Running With Rifles or Foxhole, but on top of playing as a squad/tank like a top-down shooter, you are also able to give general orders to the whole army or jump to another unit and take command of that.It has a cool campaign mode where you continuously upgrade a company throughout the war. You set up squads, choose which gear they have, buy upgrades, give medals that provide buffs, buy new vehicles, complete missions and so on.It's made by chinamen, but it's pretty good otherwise. There are some bits of untranslated chinese, and the game feels jank in general, but it's fun and pretty cheap.
>>742018643>It's not a metroidvaniathanks its hard to tell sometimes with how polluted all the tags geti will skip then
>>742016643Like a redditor saying they recently "Discovered" [insert massive popular thing]
>>742012308is this ingame?
>>742013580>BLADECHIMERAThe developers make good metroidvanias with great designs. But when i played their record of loddos war and saw how short it was i was unsure of blade chimera so i pirated it and it was just as short.
>>742018570>>742018882It's more of a """""metroidbrania""""" meets roguelike thing. You learn more about the game and its mechanics through repeated failure. As you collect more knowledge you start being able to survive more and more effectively and stumble upon more and more shit, slowly letting you discover more and more of the world and unravel its mysteries.It's a very love or hate it kinda game. It's absolutely expected to die to the stupidest most frustrating shit over and over without making any progress until you stumble upon some realization that makes it a non-issue.
>>742018990Yes.
>>7420190416-10 hours is a solid length for a metroidvania. Not every metroidvania needs to be a bloated 30 hour RPG or a 60 hour soulslike.
So two cons here that will likely be deal breakers for a lot of anons here:1.The game is in early access2.The game almost exclusively contains anthro characters (scalies)That being said, it's the most competent S.T.A.L.K.E.R. like game I've ever played, and I easily managed to log over 100 hours even in it's unfinished state. The gameplay is fun and it oozes atmosphere. The scalies at the very least, are not fetishized in any way and actually do tie into the game's backstory (they're called inheritors and live in a post-human world). If you can get past the cons, and liked the OG S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s, you'll like this game.
Foolish Mortals is a pretty nice recent point'n'click adventure game, doesn't quite reach the same heights as the GOATs, but still pretty nice.
>>742019060I kinda hated it because once you learn "use stick" and "backflip" you're just bumrushing the next checkpoint you died a few times to find because filling out the map and trying to survive is actually worthless. But I can see the appeal.

At the end of Act 1 you can multiclass into another character's deck which also adds unique 3-mana cards to the reward pool. Generally higher levels of bullshit than StS both from the player and the enemies, sometimes it feels like like The Watcher from StS was the balancing benchmark. Other than missing one more character and story mode (whatever the fuck that is), it's pretty much a complete game on par with StS in terms of content.

Hidden gem is an oxymoron in this context. If it has 20 reviews it's exactly where it needs to be: buried.
>>742011260It isn't tho
>>742011118I got that ages ago and it always felt like a much emptier Stardew Valley to me. Just kind of wander around all day doing... nothing.Admittedly that was when it was still in EA and maybe once after full release, so has it improved a lot since then?

>>742020525He saw a single image of pixelated anime girls and his brain went immediately to 'TRANNY, TRANNY, TRANNY!'. He's been mind raped by those autistic men that a thread talking about sales, and sharing some recommendations all he can think about is crossdressing dudes.
>>742020521For V not really. The plot is as simple as it gets, really for 99% of it it's just "An incident has occurred. We need to stop it, but who is responsible? Let's check on one area after the next until we find them.". It's very much a gameplay first type of game. After the fairly long and boring opening cutscene it's basically just pure gameplay until the final dungeon of the maingame.
Maybe not that hidden, but this will be GOTY.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3195790/White_Knuckle/
>>742009827I will literally never buy a game whose name is a joke or pun on a genre name
>>742020783I'll buy it when it's done. When's DreadXP going to do another DreadX collection, is the real question.
Recommendation is the original Mass Effect trilogy, don't play the 'Legendary' version it changed around a few things, censored Miranda's arse. Changed the lighting in a few places and scenes which changed the tone.They're not MASSIVE changes but they do add up to make a different experience. All the DLC is still included in these as well so you don't need to buy them separately.
>>742013036Damn! Cant wait to pick this up, beat it in one session and not remember I ever played this in 2 months.Thats 99% of this thread, library fodder
>>742020859>Mostly PositiveI'm going to take a wild guess and say that there's some massive tech problems to be aware of.
>>742021016Yeah looking through the reviews it does seem it's tech issues that are what people are complaining about, the games themselves people are saying they prefer to the Legendary edition.Personally prefer to play the trilogy on my XBOX360, but that thing is getting old now and I want to use it sparingly to save it.
>>742019245If you like the SNES SMT games then Touhou Artificial Dream in Arcadia is a pretty nice game on that style.
>>742020521All you need to know about 2hu to play 99% of the games is that the setting is Gensokyu - a mythical land sealed off from the rest of the world where youkai, gods, and all sorts of other mythical beings escaped to after people stopped believing in them. The main protagonist Hakurei Reimu is a Shrine Maiden and supposed to keep the peace there, so whenever something wacky happens, "an incident" as they call it, she's the one to go and resolve it - often begrudgingly. The main thing about 2hu is really just that primary setting and how much you can do with it. It's basically a huge playground where you can do whatever. People will put the characters into wacky situations and let them develop that way, then other people will copy a bit of it and invent their own unique twists on it, and in that way the whole world slowly changes and progresses over time. It's very a community driven series, the base framework from ZUN is very open.

Not the most hidden of gems, but I absolutely loved Primal Planet for its pixel art and metroidvania gameplay.
>>742022904Moved on from games being good and or fun.
>>742022792I'd attribute that to shorter attention spans and a saturated market. There are too many games.

Can someone relatively normal tell me if anything posted itt is truly decent and not a complete joke? I'm tired of clicking steam links and getting flash banged by the most low effort shit.Games with less than 100 reviews are not "hidden gems" they're flops.
>>742020859>Recommendation is the original Mass Effect trilogy, don't play the 'Legendary' version it changed around a few things, censored Miranda's arse. Changed the lighting in a few places and scenes which changed the tone.Even though this is true, everything is fixed with mods, Miranda's ass, lighting, and anything that was different from the originals. You may want to buy ME3 standalone for the multiplayer, but that's it. Legendary is fine, you don't even have to deal with the ME amd cpu bug.

>>742010862HoN is excellent except for a couple of the cheevos and the very final dungeon that you can grind if you want to. Goddamn that place is a pointless drag at that point of the game instead of any kind of actual fun.

>>742030242'kay.
>>742030160Easy, it's Dimhaven although that one already has hundreds of reviews even though it only came out 4 days ago so it might be well on it's way to actual success, while many of the games in this thread haven't managed that many. Still, quality isn't determined by review quantity.As a free bit of advice, the visa number decoding puzzle, don't even bother. It's hilariously difficult and everyone has problems with it and I read the explanation about base 8 mathematics and conversion of binary to decimal format and I still don't get it. I find it hilarious that the developers got feedback about the puzzles from the demo and decided the chair spinning puzzle was too difficult and removed it. (There was this chair but it was facing the wrong way so to sit down you had to spin it around once.)Probably they spent a week creating the visa puzzle and didn't want to remove such a prominent puzzle that used lots of effort and assets even though it was ridiculous, but the chair puzzle? Yeah that'll take two seconds to remove get rid of it we can't have people getting frustrated over the puzzle and quitting after all lmao. Who could ever figure out that a chair needs to be facing forwards to sit in it? No way. That puzzle is cut!
>>742010862Seconding Gutter World. Got it a couple months ago and enjoyed it enough to even farm Fennel's outfit unlocks. Medaling levels and finding different routes is pretty satisfying.>>742011520One of my sale cart contenders. Sounds like some the problems it had in EA were ironed out.

>>742033447idk link it
>>742020859The third game requires EAs launcher, I think.
>>742033108It's insane how cursed this genre is. I wonder if Attuned went into devhell after the playtest since there's still no release date. I'm trying to think and there really is fuckall to recommend. Wayfinder and Warframe come to mind but Wayfinder has the premade characters issue and Warframe is a huge time sink that you can't really play without spending some money to get started and I got a feel it's not what you're looking for. Monster Hunter maybe? But it's a boss killing game instead of a dungeon game. PSOBB and PSU can be played on private servers but they don't really have matchmaking and the populations are tiny so finding people to play with would be difficult. Same goes for Dragon's Dogma Online.There's some games on consoles that can be emulated for online multiplay but obviously you need to bring your own friends to play with. Ragnarok Odyssey Ace for ps3. Warriors of the Lost Empire, PSP2i and Lord of Apocalypse for psp. PSZero for DS. dothack fragment has a private server for ps2.

Good cast, good jump scares, great plothttps://store.steampowered.com/app/980830/Spirit_Hunter_Death_Mark/All three games are good and are worth it at 20 bucks. Don't be a pussy and turn off the jump scares, the juxtaposition between the comfy locations and the tension of the haunted areas is what makes things work so well.

>game features clicking hyperlinks to solve crimesuh, are developers allowed to do this? I have linkphobia. a link could be anything. You click it you don't know where it will take you. There could be anything on the other side. You have no idea what you'll see. To illustrate this concept, here is a link, click it if you dare:https://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/enquetes-investigations/aviation/2025/a25o0170/a25o0170.html

I don't need to be talked into shilling marlow briggs. Do you want a character action game where it's clear the devs wanted you to have fun playing it and also surprise shmup levels? There is only one answer.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2851110/Golden_Warden/I beat this yesterday, definitely an hidden gem.
>>742034884>God of War if he black and guided by some Aztec spirit(?)It was a fun game. I never beat it but I grabbed it when it came out and was all over /v/, played through a good portion.
>>742024273Lost skies is on sale, and i think its neat enough that if your a fan of the genre you should look into it.

>>742032381this looked interesting but then i tried it and it felt buggy as shitand also like i was playing an mmo with no players
>>742035359it's an older picture
>>742035189It's still pretty jank and niche for multiple reasons.It would be interesting to see how much those iron pineapple videos actually make a difference for the smaller indies.
>>742035423I played it when it was still an "MMO" it was complete trash. Revisited it like a year or so ago and the single player version is still trash. probably don't bother unless you enjoy exploring obscure shit.
I recommend this game. It's 67% off or $13. Great RTS about a band of bros escaping the commies after WW1. You can lose anyone if you go out on missions and they die XCOM style then you build up your train to get through the cold. Kinda challenging but fair. Worth 1-2 playthroughs.
>>742024273Have you tried Wayward? It's probably the most compelling survivalcraft I've played in years. Though I want you to keep in mind that basebuilding is an extremely slow process in it and you will probably spend most of your playtime homeless because of how much stamina it takes to create even a humble cabin.I've been kind of looking forward to the full release of Highreach after playing the demo, though to be honest it's pretty generic and I'm only looking forward to it because it has cute not-goblins that are 6 foot tall.

>>742029087Yeah dude, let me just read your fucking mind and recommend everything to your specific taste.
Anyone played Project Silverfish? Kind of turned off by the EA and the f*r but the sale price is good

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3326360/NO_MORE_WORK_FOR_ITO/A creepy VN about how much office life sucks dick, and they capture it pretty well. The writing is pretty solid and it avoids the Western VN pratfalls of 'woke' shit and rainbow proselytizing so points there. If anyone has any other not very well known VNs that are not awful, I'll take them. I just don't like Westoid topics for the most part. Examples of ones I liked were Milk Inside a Bag of Milk and Shiroganasu Island (this counts because I bought it before it blew up). An example of one I didn't like would be Sekimeiya (the characters are written as plot devices and info dumpers and not actual people)
>>742035419Solid gameplay, excruciatingly generic story and dialog. Overall loved it. Wish the devs' new game also allowed me to make my own monster catcher instead of playing that weird purple fella.

Name 3 things that it does poorly or else you are trans and brazillian (you are trans and brazillian regardless).
I dunno if it even counts, because it has 1000+ reviews, but it is from ages ago and I never see anyone talk about it anymore. A fun but so far unfinished shmup game which is pretty fun.It has some nudity if you are into that kind of thing but not enough to qualify as porn.https://store.steampowered.com/app/790060/The_Void_Rains_Upon_Her_Heart/Someone will call it trans-coded though.
>>742036772Into the Breach only blew up because it was made by the FTL devs. It doesn't look impressive and you have to actually spend a good bit of time playing it to realize that it's actually a compelling game that makes you feel like a proper strategist. Nobody would've given ItB the time of day based on the presentation, and definitely not after the advanced edition where everything is gay and lame, including both the gameplay (a single mech from the smoke team is a better steel judoka than the entire steel judoka) and the visuals (the sheer amount of tumblr cringe OCs in the operator roster is astonishing).

Good somewhat old shmup. It was on all the consoles so you could just play it on an emulator and I have no idea if it would count as a hidden gem. The PC port is pretty gud.
>>742040154I'm glad I'm not the only custom character schizo in this neck of the woods.Speaking of which, anyone got recs for gems with character creation?
>>742040559they can't even do the over-design that well like the Korean-Weaboos in the 00s did, they oversell instead of design with intention to make it appealing.
Any games with werewolves ?I swear it's not fury thing.
>>742039923But don't expect too much from it.
>>742040161>Lost Castle 2Lets you use katanas, broadswords, and dual swords.>SephiriaSimilar to LC2. Katanas and greatswords are present.>Fabular: Once Upon a SpacetimeSo get this, you're inside a spaceship, except the spaceshit is a mech, except the mech is a knight, and it fights with TWO claymores at the same time.These are my most solid recs. I have plenty more games where you can play with a sword, but there's a lot less emphasis on it, so I'm gonna wait until you check these and decide if you want more.

>>742040196Is that supposed to be Baron Harkonen? Looks terrible.
>>742011118I hope the game is good because god damn I hate that player sprite.
>>742041049hey you just spoiled itnot that i care if I cared I would have played it before now.
>>742038005oh, that's the swedish submarine game, heavy metal death can.is it any good ?
>>742034528Oh wow. I completely forgot about there was a 3rd one. Thanks.
>>742040535>ShadowstalkerI don't wanna play a PvP game if I can't do it with bots or something.>Devilspire FallsI'm actually considering it heavily but it looks so ugly I can barely tell what's going on, and tutorial-dumping just kills my mood.
>>742020116MoW 2 plays better and runs way better. However, AS2 has a ton more mods, including conversions for 40k, Star Wars, etc. Mind you, the skirmish AI in AS2 is crappy (and you need the airborne DLC to even have it), so you'll need to mod that too.>>742034434>>742035596I'd say there's zero reason to play GOH when MoW 2 exists. Of course, you couldn't actually point out any of these supposed "factually missing features" if you tried, because you never played MoW 2.Not sure how GOH got such a mentally ill audience.
>>742041120It's from the David Lynch Dune, it's awesome in all its kitschness. The fan cut is better than the theatrical one:https://youtu.be/7Yw2nGCUPa4
Do you have this thread is very big and confusing I dont seeeeeeeee just decent indies just decent graphics a decent amount of gameplay and just a decent indie do you have that?and so I actually just saidY'know do you have indies?

>>742031926review games if you want them to succeed, it1. encourages other customers if they see that somebody played it and it's at least playable2. at 10+ reviews it gets shown to more people
>>742040909>Lost Castle 2Massive stretch, but you don't have many options.The game has a weapon class - lantern, which is basically a summoning magic focus that lets you command a ghost into battle. There is a meta-unlock called "The shadow stepper inscription" which allows you to get possessed by your ghost to turn into a monster. There are three monsters - the demon that summons melee weapons, the dragon that shoots magic blasts, and the beast that fights with its claws. That beast is kinda sorta close to a werewolf.I'm afraid that's the best I can do.
>>742041190>spoiled itblame whoever wrote the store page desc
>>742041380How (un)faithful is it to the source material? I told all DUNCtroons to kill themselves for recommending it to me the second I saw Shaniqua Kynes on the screen.
>>742041771Gay link dump. I will give you one chance to win me over, tell me if Galaxy Highways has a character creation or at least an ambiguous protagonist.
>>742022126NTA, but it's an eroge game with heavy SRPG elements like Sengoku Rance or Underwater Ray Romano. The basic premise is that you get isekai'd to a fantasy world where your imouto is kidnapped and you're forcibly drafted into fighting a war. The original had an evil route where you become corrupted by your sword and rape the heroines.
>>742031386I'm a bit late, but, yeah, that's how you are intended to play. BUT: the dev added an alternate inventory mode. I never tried it though.
>>742034884>>742034884ah yes, that's a /v/ steam sales classic.Was a fun time when people discovered this game for only 1 buck.Great game
>>742042292Fairly unfaithful, it takes significant liberties on top of being a very troubled production. The Spicediver fan cut improves things (like removing the infamous rain at the end) though. Just enjoy it as its own thing, a product of the 80s and lots of drugs.
Any horny hidden gem recommendations?No porn, just horny, like those old Leisure Suit Larry games.Kinda miss those games that only have casual nudity at best, and are more about implications or for comedy purposes.
>>742022126What the other anon said. The ending is really good too.
Can personally recommend this game, it is not easy.
>>742042930Cosmobreeder Yiffai is a genuinely great metroidvania, and unless you download the dev's patch that adds in the lewd cutscenes it's all softcore. As the title subtly implies, it's a furry game though.
>>742042930The Shantae games?
>>742013580Kingsvein is objectively worse than Horizon's Gate, unfortunately. They tried to do some interesting things and make it into a more linear, cohesive experience, but in doing so they sapped a LOT of tactical depth from it.
>>742011520the first one was hard af
>>742042930I doubt you wouldn't know about Atlyss by now. Let me try and find something properly obscure.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4348610/Codex_Arcana_Grimoire_of_Monsters/You play as a summoner commanding various flavors of cute and ever so slightly raunchy monster girls. Dungeon Mori from the same dev is also sexy on a rare occasion, but most of it is just normal fantasy.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3148560/Project_TurboBlast/Don't if counts as hidden, it had a lot of noise around it back when the demo first released.>RuzaWas made by one of our fellow /v/ermin until he went insane 3 separate times and it culminated in him delisting the game from steam and disappearing off the internet. Someone might be able to catbox the game here, maybe.That's... All I got, really. Most of my games are either too serious or are so horny that they embrace getting all hot and bothered under the sheets.
>>742020935early alzheimer's is a bitch
>>742042389>>742042931Was that route cut?I already have it in my library and installed, but I need to finish a bunch of other games before I play it.Also supposedly the combat system is esoteric.Can I go in blind, or is that just a recipe for failure?

>>742043212>>742043220>>742043616Thanks, anons. I already own all the Shantae games, but I'll check out the other ones.Project TurboBlast looks very promising. Shame it isn't out, yet.
>>742038830except instead of lusting over large men and faggot aliens it's little girls.
>>742044264>Project TurboBlast looks very promising. Shame it isn't out, yet.I just hope the author being a gay furfag who screeches about transphobes on his twitter won't end up impacting the game. People like that are far too retarded to make good content, but maybe the monkey will trip over the typewriter enough times to make something tolerable.
>>742032798It's not hidden
>>742035890looks like galshell
what are some older indie games you need to have in your steam library in order to seem cool and in-the-know?
>>742044847super meat boy, original issac, ftl
>>742044154I'm glad for the devs that About Fishing is poised to blow the fuck up.
>>742044847can't even buy it anymore, so it's doubly elusive
I scour these threads all the time looking for games like Phantasy Star Online.I check itch.ioI check new releases on SteamI google searchI ask numerous AIThere simply does not exist an equl to this game.No Atlyss does not count, I love it but it is not PSO.
>>742044925Arctic Eggs is far from unpopular tho. Good for them.
>>742011182huh is this the game that have lona in it?almost forgot about that one

>>742032834https://store.steampowered.com/app/780290/Gloomhaven/Great for two players since each gets two mercenaries. Don't hesitate to start on lower difficulty, early encounters can fuck you up. Action economy is very strict and unforgiving but once you figure it out pulling off "optimal" turns where you get most bang for you buck is extremely satisfying.It can be a bit buggy at times and netcode is ass but thankfully a desync would only cost you one turn's worth of progress.UI leaves a lot to be desired so having voice comms is pretty much a prerequisite for coop, you'll be asking "so what's your initiative again?" like 50 times when setting up a combo.>>742033028>DeadzoneLmao I remember when it was an extraction shooter that was supposed to be part of Starsiege/Tribes revival. Fuck erez.
>>742024126They could easily fix that by restricting it to like 5 or so. Instead its just a tag soup because they wanna show up in literally every search possible.That's not to mention the joke tags like "psychological horror" to games that are just a lil bit harder than normal.
>>742039080I played this years ago, around the time it came out maybe, so my memory is pretty cloudyFrom what I recall it was kind of more puzzle stuff rather than tactics shit if you know what I mean? Over all impression that it's alright, solid game but didn't blow my socks off like Grimrock did Fans of the genre who may enjoy, competently made, doesn't overstay it's welcome but again it did not blow my mind or leave a lasting impression after half a decade
>>742046078>you'll be asking "so what's your initiative again?"the actual rules of the game state you're not supposed to discuss hard numbers and only refer to vague statements like "Slow/Medium/Fast" because it makes the game too easyDunno how the digital ones account for that, if it just shows everyone that is really gay and baby tier

>>742009827not fooling me ranjesh
>>742038484this looks kinda peak but i feel like im being swindled by the good quality trailer.
>>742040535I notice a lot of these are from anons. Are you suggesting they're all made by anons? >>742045015It's basically a dead subgenre. I'm baffled that there don't seem to be any indies trying to enter that market.
>>742039171Imma be honest I think Blasphemous 1 was kind of a bad game just with very pretty animation/art.Most of the level design and game design was kinda jank and bad. And no, it's not "wahh its too dificult", its just bad.The second one was a huge improvement though.
>>742046395Enemy initiative is unknown before the turn starts so it's really preferable that your characters doing some kind of combo are as close as possible to each other in initiative order otherwise enemies might completely fuck up the board, clog the doorway, eat your elements and so on.
