Made by an anon if I'm not mistaken. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3043370/Dream_Warrior/>DigitizerStupidly ambitious scifi rpg, open world with combat and vehicles and everything. Janky and buggy but with a good story. It can be frustrating but personally I love projects like these, biting off way more than they can chew but still being worthy despite the shortcomings.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1262760/Digitizer/>Speed Rivals Slot RacingSlot car racing game with a focus on building and sharing tracks and racing other people. Early access, but plenty of content there already.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3389390/Speed_Rivals__Slot_Racing/>Dungeon DropsAnother anon-made game, very charming music and ms paint art. Platformer where you have to climb a tower and kill mobs to buy stuff from the store. Hard, even unfair at times, but the game is so simple and addictive that you end up not caring. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3625870/Dungeon_Drops/>Mind Control: Bloody RenaissanceSMT-esque rpg, takes a lot of inspiration from Swery, Suda and Lynch. Especially Suda. I know they are controversial here, and so is the game's engine RPG Maker, but if you like that kind of stuff, I believe you'll like it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2411100/Mind_Control_Bloody_Renaissance/>The HenchmenFull disclosure, I only played the demo of this one, but I'll get it this sale. Top down game for those who miss Hotline Miami and the early GTAs. I cannot say much more, other than it has co-op, so it has to be a fun game to play with a friend. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1431750/The_Henchmen/
any games where your vehicle is like your bestie but you can still walk around and find loot? pacific drive, long drive, mad max, days gone, that type deal. I like actually driving it so no death road to canada
>>742132978I cannot recommend Sable to you highly enough.
>>742132978Do NOT listen to >>742133028. Sable is extremely boring.
>>742132978Days Gone
>>742133352Just because it doesn't have combat doesn't mean it's boring, it's about fucking around on your motorcycle in the desert climbing around and meeting people. You get out of it what you put in, same as a road trip.

I've been thinking long and hard because my dream is to post the most obscure game ever, and this is my answer.Shitpost point and click game with paint graphics, made by and for a community of guys who are obsessed with making fun of a Spanish youtuber who has a bit over 100k subs but has been uploading videos since 2010, he's not a celebrity or anything like that.

3D Zeldalike, more on the BOTW or Wind Waker side but quite well made.https://store.steampowered.com/app/896440/Eternal_Edge/
Try this one, if you want something really unique. Underwater boss rush starfox graphics. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2076520/Death_In_Abyss/?curator_clanid=33778373I'd also recommend just looking at all of this dev's games in general
>>742135773It's more of a stretch because in Salt 2 you adventure around on the islands and the sea between them is borderline an overworld, so it's hard to call it driving. I'm not aware of any reefs or storms or coves or sea monsters or any other kinds of things that will make you want to actively maneuver your boat. It's maybe a step above Starbound.Meanwhile in Dunecrawl you actively maneuver your crab and fight on top of it, so it's much more of a bestie.
>>742135992Desperados III and Shadow Gambit by the same devs. Also look into Sumerian Six. Its a bit rougher, but gives off Strange Brigade vibes.
2D Metroidvania and top-down Zeldalike in one, you switch characters on screen and they interact with the environment either as top-down or side scrolling with gravity. Very cool idea, it's $1.59 right now.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2280510/Side_Scape/

Played a few Balatro Scrabble likes and none of them quite clicked with me. Randomly found this one and after playing the demo it immediately clicked with me.Pretty niche but it still feels like it should get more attention based on the amount of effort put into it.

saw a few posted already but requesting singleplayer collectible card games, ideally ones where the cards can be collected in multiple ways (through playing the card game, exploring the world, purchase, doing quests, etc.). basically there should be a world outside of just playing a card game (only one that comes to mind is some parts of inscryption). I don't mind if the rec isn't necessarily "hidden" as I haven't really played one of these in a while and I'm assuming there aren't many of them

Also note that it does not support controllers and it's not really setup in a way to make keybinds possible to play in a reasonable fashion.I generally recommend >>742148794 over it because it's similarly as deep if you get really into it but not in a tedious way and doesn't blast you up front with it.
>>742164848feet niggas
I feel like <1K reviews is such a shit metric. I mean, maybe you guys are all built different, but even <10K is still pretty firmly an obscure game even for someone who posts on /v/. It also just places the emphasis on finding games with the least reviews possible, rather than actual gems. I think the actual reality is that most games posted in these threads really aren't that good. That said, I really don't see what a better alternative is. In the long run its probably the best they get some kind of attention I guess, even if its as fleeting being stuck in a list of 10 steam store links.
>>742169568>The Black Grimoire: Cursebreakerlooks neat. any reason for the recent reviews being Mostly Negative?
>>742135410I thought Fortune's Run was pretty dope, but it's not finished unfortunately. It's also made by a tranny, but that's part and parcel these days it seems.
>>742170332>I feel like <1K reviews is such a shit metric.it's just a suggestion, anon
>>742170332>10K is still pretty firmly an obscure game even for someone who posts on /v/For reference, games like Everhood or Look Outside would potentially meet your criteria of a 'hidden gem'. I like these games, but they've mostly already found their audience and will grow naturally as a result of that. If you can't find a game that's under 1k reviews that you like enough to share, then how can you say that you're truly one of the few people to know about it? That's really the intent here, not just to share games you like but games you like that nobody else has seen or played yet.
Even <100k is still pretty firmly obscure, can we post more games that have at least 3 international marketing divisions and a HR department of 100 people i mean are we posting hidden gems or schmidden hens or what doesn't anyone but me know the rules you guys are breaking the rules by not letting me post the internationally acclaimed hidden gem known as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 which also features the very underrated hot babe known as shadowheart and and it even has obscure in the title!
10k can be pretty well known.

>>742181438Dude, if I wanna smooch a dragon I'm not gonna play as a rooster.
>>742181839It's a game where you have your playable character and a ship. Your job is to do procedural roguelite-esque missions, collecting more resources unlocking more ships, and as of the last update unlocking different kinds of procedurally generated weapons and ship components.Gameplay is you pilot your ship while trying to keep it afloat. It's a bit like FTL, sometimes fires will break out, sometimes components will get damaged, and you will need to take care of those. Between space battles you also do on-foot missions where you use your own character, it plays like a bog standard but surprisingly competent FPS.There are 3 ships, one of them is basically built for solo/low crew runs, another is okay at it, and the last one was basically made to be properly staffed. The problem is in solo you will be facing fewer ship breakdowns so you'll just have less FTL to play with, but it's still more or less enjoyable. I never play games that are strictly coop. I even buy lethal-likes only on the condition that they are playable offline by myself.Some warnings: The game isn't balanced right now, and the devs are kinda retarded. They made diamond solid dogfighting and FPS "gamefeel" that actually feels genuinely smooth, but they can't code a grenade throwing arc (I'm not kidding), and the game might have body types. It doesn't say that outright, it just gives you two models to pick from and "masculine/feminine" voices, and the fact that it doesn't outright call it body types is the only reason I didn't refund it, because that's just barely enough for me to give the benefit of the doubt, but I'm letting you know just in case.

The mechanics are simple and straightforward, the plot is simple and straightforward and Marie Antoniette's tatas are plentiful and straightforward.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1824580/Dungeon_Drafters/>Neat idea, decent execution. The deckbuilding part is well made, and in some of the later stages you really gotta rub your braincells together; can be a bit frustrating if you're not into that. Onto my request: I've never played a single sidescrolling beat-em-up, and I would like to give one a shot. Are there any that have a decent amount of depth? I'm a sucker for customization/fucking around with mechanics. Or even something with solid gameplay all around would work too I guess kek>>742136549>Shadow GambitI adored that game, an absolute masterpiece. I know it's the kinda game that this shithole board likes to screech about because of the main character's design (and the gay ninja) but it was really charming in its own way, and the writing was kinda good too.

>>742186219>sidescrolling beat-em-upI'd suggest you start with the arcade classics. The CPS2 ones are probably the peak of the genre, here are some reasonably complex ones:Aliens Vs PredatorBattle CircuitD&D Tower of DoomD&D Shadow Over Mystara
>>742186287Dismantled is an amazing game, right up until the the last area where the difficulty ramps up x5 and the game decides that having 20 flying enemies gang up on you, followed by 20 more you cant even see, was a good idea. Imagine if Resident Evil in the lab, suddenly started having DMC5 enemies, thats pretty much what happens in this game.

Any 3rd or 1st person loot dungeon type games? Something little or optional for story where I can just go kill some monsters for loot and level up my character.
Any games that are Pokemon/SMT like without being mediocre (Temtem, Nexomon)? I think there's one that's to come out that looks mildly interesting that's Monsomething 19XX that might be cool.I'll take SMT-likes as well or something like FFX (unlikely but might as well ask)

But Lights Going Out is the better game. Tragic how that works.It's a choice-based RPG with light strategy and simulation elements. It's kind of hard to pin down genre-wise, but it really is more King of Dragon Pass from the same devs.The series of 6 games will never be finished, but the games are still good as-is.

>>742200719It's quite good. It has a bad stigma because of the developer's previous game being feministic and using the tired old identical twins thing. So less people gave it a chance than they should. It's surprisingly good and it had some fantastic moments that I can't tell you about but it was scary the first time it happened.It is also the greatest film adaptation of The Monk that there ever was, which is amazing. They didn't use an imaginary book as inspiration for their in-game movies, they used the Monk which was released in 1796. For one of them anyway.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_MonkIt had an excellent soundtrack too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SAukYw7Wc0A very surprising game overall, absolutely do not check spoilers or trailers or anything.

>>742203883Demon's Souls specifically. Nexus hub, world isn't connected but the three levels of each area are, healing consumables instead of an estus equivalent.Main selling points are the sheer customization and having mech movement in a soulslike. For being the dev's first non-VN they did a pretty good job with level design too, especially considering Souls doesn't normally involve jumping hovering or airdashes. Most levels will reward you for creative movement and paying attention to your surroundings. Weapon balance isn't great, but probably still better than launch AC6.

>>7422179193 and 4 both do the same thing as well in terms of campiness… but I think mechanically 5 is a better entry point for the genre. 3 is very rough around the edges in terms of action standards. It’s a bit like recommending Quake as someone’s first FPS to see if they’d like the genre. No shade on Quake but it’s so far removed from the modern conventions of the genre it’s almost something else entirely. DMC3 was a forerunner to the genre but it’s very dated. A cool game, but I don’t think it’s really representative of action gaming as a whole, and I think you could like the genre a lot but not really discover that appreciation due to a bad experience with DMC3 as your first title.
>>742218172is it even playable on modern systems?
>>742218206Maybe so, I'm an oldfag so for me DMC3 is extremely polished and accesible when compared to DMC1 or (god forbid) DMC2.
>>742219135I feel like the camera work is the most aggressively offputting part. RE-style fixed cam segments just do not click with a lot of people, especially on PC where you rely on camera control for mobility due to the limitations of keyboard (not that I’d recommend kbm for DMC)
>>742218206>>742217687These are good posts, thanks anon. >It’s a bit like recommending Quake as someone’s first FPS to see if they’d like the genre. No shade on Quake but it’s so far removed from the modern conventions of the genre it’s almost something else entirely.This is something I wish more people understood.I remember when I had tried getting into sRPGs, and an anon basically demanded I play Dragon Force first because "it's the best one ever and it does everything right, it's the epitome of the genre": I frankly ended up hating it, I'm sure it's a phenomenal game but it was also quite overwhelming and clunky for someone that wasn't used to it. Fortunately someone else eventually came around and recommended an easier starting point (FE7) and it's been smooth sailing since, by now I must've finished a fuckton of sRPGs from all eras and subgenres and I'm sure I'll eventually go back and give DF a try.Regardless, I guess I had always misunderstood its campiness as unintentional in all my brief interactions with it, and it always came across as one of those weird Jap games that take themselves way too seriously and try really hard to be mature and srs bzns. I see now, I was wrong, and I'll pick up both it and Assault Spy. Thanks again!
>>742210606Prodeus is better than it had any fucking right being. Haven't found another shooter I liked recently as much as it.
>>742219690>and it always came across as one of those weird Jap games that take themselves way too seriously and try really hard to be mature and srs bzns.They cast Power Rangers as the lead actors for a reason. It takes itself as seriously as any Sentai show. It’s basically Kamen Rider but with demons. It has its serious moments, to be sure, but at its heart it’s far more Xena: Warrior Princess than John Wick.There’s a reason /v/‘s favorite description of Dante is “Wacky Woohoo Pizza Man”
>>742220175>>742219690Anyway, enough derailing the thread, here's a game with <2k reviews (I know this sort of doesn't count) that's basically>What if Nier Automata had good gameplayHomura Himehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU8AIHEWj6UIt's a little bit janky, but all of the pieces are great, and it definitely understands how to do "what if 3d action adventure danmaku" in a way that doesn't trivialize staying out of enemy patterns.
>>742220148the meat explosions in that game are so incredibly satisfying. devs should really pay more attention to spectacle -- it makes such a difference.

That's precisely what you do in this game.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1874260/Far_Away_From_Home/>Tactical RPG with cool story. The plot made me think a lot about the way the player and the in-game characters are related to each other. First game that did that since Bioshock.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1117880/Biolab_Wars/https://store.steampowered.com/app/1232810/Savage_Halloween/>Cool shoot'em ups from three-man team from Brazil. Biolab Wars is more like a test game that can be completed in half an hour, but still solid. Savage Halloween is full on though, with three hours of gameplay, an option to play in co-op and so on. Done in the retro way, so if you like arcade classics, try these one out. You might find them way easy though, compared to some coin squeezer from the 90's. Savage Halloween does have something named Extreme Difficulty or something though, but I didn't try it myself. Frankly, I was fine with the difficulty these games offer.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1605320/Unusual_Findings/>Awesome point-n-click from Brazil, full of love for the 80's. I completed it three times to get every ending. There are no bad endings, all of the are cool.
>>742247990>Small Sagadon't do it anon. Don't fall in the trap. The dev trooned out midway through development and put a bunch of faggot/troon shit starting literally right past the refund window. It's a 8 hour game anyway, but still not worth your hard-earned money
>>742236095In 2 you have proper character creation and you play as just a normal person. The dev mentioned wanting to add a main story with a "win" condition for those who aren't okay with doing the sandbox forever (which is the intended gameplay), but there are no details on that.TL;DR: It's not a villain game like 1.
>>742218253played it on Linux and it worked with no issues
>>742244362>All white guys except for one womanIt's a double-edged sword, they're LA-tier white guys. Their (male) community manager may or may not have a nose ring, and he apologized on one of the streams for accidentally assuming a user's gender. On the other hand their game director (the guy on the floor) doesn't seem to be that gay. Mispronounced some german's name on stream and was like "Eh, whatever". They're walking on the knife's edge for me, personally.And (this should go without saying but still) this kind of gay retard shit reflects in the quality of the game. One day they have something rock solid that plays and runs extremely well, the other day they break everything, ruin everything, and the game tanks to 20 FPS and stutters every other second. And then another day they fix it and add something decent again. The dev cycle is a rollercoasting and you just gotta hope you're too drunk to feel the parts of the railing that the fags designed.
>>742245194In my experience, any game that requires you to focus "long-term" is very frustrating to play at work. You need something you can drop AND pick up at the drop of a hat.Lost Castle 2 has been pretty nice for that because I only really need moment-to-moment concentration, seeing as my core gameplay doesn't really change throughout the game.Sephiria might offer you a similar deal, but it's a bit more of a bother because of the "backpack manager" inventory system that needs you to micromanage it. Try the demo before buying.And when I'm really not in the mood, I just fire up Atlyss and post obscenities in multiplayer lobbies. That's basically my main "at work" game.

It's a Terraria-like that suffers in the exploration department and has rather stiff combat but also has a really good character-building system. It has a pretty slow beginning but gets pretty fun towards mid-late game because you start unlocking cool perks to build your character with.
>>742260023>Wow, someone who isn't me mentioned StarCrawlers.Not him but I'm pretty sure I mentioned Starcrawlers at least once in the last thread. It is a great modern dungeon crawler, all the fun and none of the jank of ye olde ones.

>>742261943it's harvest moon but in a high-fantasy world of magic, alien-like races and monster taming. I can't get into other harvest moon clones like stardew valley, but likes this a lot
>>742262164It looks like it has a lot of adventuring and fighting, is that the case? I tried Stardew Valley and found it insufferable on account of how devoid of danger it was. There were the mines, but they were a throwaway side activity. I wanted to be a career fighter, with the farming and the gathering and the wife and the kids being something to come back to after a long day of cracking skulls and cutting throats.
>>742264743The farming sim is just a smaller part of the game. it's about exploring the world and taming monsters to help you do it.
>>742178000having to manage artifacts in your inventory to level them depending on their position is a cool mechanic, but I think that's the only good thing about that game, everything else is extremely simple

I remember the dev popping up on here in the last few years to shill this, but it is actually surprisingly good. UI and keybinds take some getting used to but the core gameplay of rift hunting and the missions is solid.
