Any kind of game
EDIT: changed from suggested to mentioned and made the title more clear
Hero’s Quest by Sierra (Later renamed to Quest for Glory)
So, you want to be a hero?
Probably my most replayed game, along with Betrayal at Krondor.
Have you checked out the excellent remake of QfG2?
I have NOT!!! I did not know this existed!!!
You’re in for a treat! I tend to still prefer the parser based EGA versions for nostalgia reasons but it’s very well done and faithful to the original.
I’m longing for another play-through thanks to you! Maybe I’ll go fighter then paladin instead of my usual magical thief.
Snake. There are many good versions of it, but I’d say my favourite is the one from coolmathgames.com .
Tf2 maybe ? Honorable mentions: Tetris, Dwarf Fortress, stormworks, bg3
You have never seen anyone recommend Baldurs Gate 3 or Dwarf Fortress?
Your original question reads like it’s limited to this thread, not games you’ve seen recommended anywhere and everywhere
Looks like I miss understood the question.
A saw every one of them recommended. However I didn’t play them because of these recommendations.
The way I interpreted your title was “has not already been mentioned in this thread”. Every game ever made has been recommended, idk how you expect people to answer this lol
I tried to make the title more clear
I dont think every person has seen every game being recommended. I havent heard anyone mention the game I Wanna Maker
Not every person has seen every game being recommended or just mentioned on the internet. But they’ve likely seen every game, they played themselves, on the internet, except for pre-internet or analog games that they never looked up somehow.
If that’s what you’re looking for, that is an interesting question, but I’d assume that most answers here are just as incorrect as this one.
New title is much more indicative of your intent.
From your original comment I thought you meant just not recommended at all (ie no ads, never seen a comment or video online, etc) and was like… how would I have played the game if it wasn’t somehow recommended, how would I have heard of it?
I think you’re looking for smaller games that aren’t constantly being recommended online, which is much less restrictive, haha
No One Lives Forever
To this day I have no idea why I bought it. And I bought it close to its release date. I would only do that if I had been absolutely obsessed for months with previews and stuff. But I remember none of that.
And still it ended up becoming one of my all time favourites.
Game of the year! Is it just you or is it hot in here?
Either way I think you need a cold shower!
Are you talking about 1 or 2? I always thought 2 was better and introduced a load of mechanics (to me at least) that are commonplace nowadays. This was the first FPS game I played where getting found during a stealth mission didn’t completely ruin everything. And the concept of unkillable enemies that you can only run from.
Definitely 1. The second one wasn’t bad. I mean, nothing beats a katana fight in trailer a flying through a tornado. But something about that game was always missing for me. I couldn’t lay my finger on it (apart from Cate’s actress changing). And I hate the endlessly respawning enemies.
The boardgame Heat is one of my all time favorites. Thunder Road Vendetta is right up there too, and I am waiting to put them together for an all road race/rage saturday with my boardgame peeps.
Final fantasy tactics a2.
Both FFTA games are great!
Challenge accepted. Does anyone recognize Llamatron: 2112? I played it on Amiga, but I think it was also on Atari and DOS.
It was an acid trip “llamas are funny” parody of Robotron: 2084, and it was a fuckin’ BLAST!
Gameboy color dinosaur JRPG / metroidvania that seemingly no one else has ever played. Called Dinosaur’us. I had to google the name there and it turns out there is a wikipedia page so it’s not totally obscure - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur’us
I loved this game as a kid! There are surprisingly few good dinosaur games (although admittedly a lot of good dragon ones).
Edit: only ever released in the UK - that explains a lot of why it was so obscure. The ROM is on emulator sites though if you are curious.
Excluding all games you have seen mentioned by anyone on the internet
Well, shit, that makes my list really, really fucking small.
I guess Clutch? Literally never seen anyone mention it before, cheap carmageddon clone
Cultures 2.
I don’t know about favorite, but a game I remember playing ball in the Nintendo, super Nintendo days was a game called Another World. Never met another person who has played it except one of it irl friends. Wikipedia claims it’s one of the best video games ever made, oddly.
Kind of a platformer, kind of a puzzler, very surreal.
Absolutely loved this Another World (Out of This World in the US)! It looked like nothing else, had cut scenes, even a little load time (not common on a SNES). Early polygon look before Star Fox came out even.
Out of This World! No wonder the name looked weird to me. I had to look it up because it’s been so long I forgot the name!
Since most games are often mentioned on the internet, I’m going to reach waaaaaaaay back to my childhood and mention Cartooners:
This was a game for kids to make their own cartoons. I spend so much time making all kinds of funny and weird stories. It was very basic, but it had me giggling every time.World in Conflict is one I don’t see talked about. Squad based military RTS.
Multiplayer on that was so fun. Guessing how the enemy was moving in order to time how you call ordinance on them was my favorite part
Each Anno Domini game consists of 336 cards, with a description of a historical event on one side of the card and the year (and sometimes specific date) in which it happened on the other. All Anno Domini games can be played as a standalone item or mixed with some or even all other editions.
In Anno Domini, each player receives nine cards (or fewer, if you want the game to be shorter) and may look only at the descriptions. In turn, players place a card on the table, trying to place their card in chronological order to those already present. Instead of adding a card, a player may claim that the order in which the cards have been placed is incorrect. In this case all cards are turned over and the correct years revealed.
If the order is correct, then the doubting player receives two cards and skips a turn. If the order is incorrect, then the previous player – who accepted the order as correct or made it incorrect through her own placement – receives three cards. The first player with no cards remaining in hand wins.
The Anno Domini game series exist only in German.
The Sexy Brutale!
It’s a murder/puzzle game and I really enjoyed it.
I really liked that game!
