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.
Moraff’s dungeon/revenge/world RPGs are probably considered obscure by now.
I remember struggling with them as a kid, decided to put them on my phone a few years ago and they were not as hard as I remembered, lol. I probably focused way too much on making sure I never lost any stats or levels as a kid. The game is way more fun when you accept that bosses will cost you. And that you will get lost in the dungeon and should always have a solid way to get to town from however deep you go.
