We all play the same games most of the time. From the classic FPS grandfather’s to the Point 'n Click adventures that never really got any traction past the 90s.

What are your favorite hidden gems? Games that few people know, but should know?

I’ll start. Ascendency. A strategy space game where you pick an alien race, and try to take over, or befriend, the entire universe. Getting spaceships, going to planets, building bases and diplomacy. The time can be sped up, but do it at your own risk, because the AI does not wait.

    Dreamweb is a really unique cyberpunk/dystopian point’n’click top down adventure game with a feel I haven’t seen anywhere else.

    It came with some cool feelies (physical props from the game world included in the box), and had an absolute banger of a soundtrack.

    It’s odd in that you can pick up virtually any mundane object that isn’t nailed down, but only a handful are needed to progress the game, and it’s possible to dead-end yourself if you don’t pick up the right items, but overall a great little game with a mature, dark story.
