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.
does The 7th Guest count as forgotten? lol !stauf_mansion@lemmy.mods4ever.com
a horror FMV puzzle game, the local theater actors really hammed it up, the soundtrack slaps, and the atmosphere is great
also Tyrian, which is freeware now https://www.gog.com/en/game/tyrian_2000 Not very forgotten either, but at least I’m not saying Doom!
make sure to try the DESTRUCT cheat code https://tyrian.fandom.com/wiki/Cheats#Secret_Gameplay_Modes
Considering it has an active community (small but active) and a recent VR remake: probably not. Awesome game though!
Tyrian is great. Never tried the cheat codes!
Ok then my actual suggested forgotten gem is the DESTRUCT minigame inside of Tyrian
Oh also The Incredible Machine, I played #2 so much as a kid
