considering the franchise only has 2 good games and the latest installment was almost a decade ago, i guess destroy all humans qualifies. it also doesnt seem to emulate well for most people, so im sure its exposure is low. im sure the first game is older than most of this board. for those who dont know, 2004-5 was a great time for 3rd person open world sandbox games.

Soul Sacrifice Delta is a fantastic game stuck on a handheld that screams wasted potential. Needs a PS4 port/remake bad.

I know a lot of people didn't like them, but to me it just felt like Diablo 2: Neon Genesis Ghost in the Lain Edition. And that was a damn fun grindy good time to me. The newer ones were one of the best games near the end of the PS2's lifecycle, although I still prefer the older ones.

SAO before SAO was a thing.
The best part was the rich universe outside the game (the videos, the conspiracies, etc...).

I loved that game when it came out. Great balance between fun shootan and spooky exploration. At least back then

Picrelated is one of the recent ones. Actually it's been pretty popular in certain circles, but it perfectly fits the 'hidden gem' term. Clunky as fuck, very unintuitive UI, unforgiving and even offputting at times, but man if you can bear through all the flaws AoD really starts to shine. Probably one of my favorite digs in last year.

>>385995875

>>386000196
Well it's free now on PC, so does that make an 11/10?

>>386002675
It was pretty ass, if I recall correctly.

>>385995762
Last i checked this game became freeware and can be found without much effort to download.

Yeah but the original games barely skimmed cliches the way that SAO was bursting at the veins with typical shonen bullshit, it was so refreshing

Even though GU went full weeb to an extent, its still a pretty solid plot with one of the best character arcs for the protag, let alone for one of the biggest certified edgelords in gaming history

No such thing exists. Gems are always shiny and in the open. Obscure stuff is unpopular because it sucks.

Bloodrayne is not "hidden" either. They even make a shitty movie based on it.

Yeah, the sequel was in many ways inferior to the original
>forcing in the Halo/CoD 2 weapon slot inventory
>can't save pills for later when you need them
>jumpscare images that pop up not nearly as scary/disturbing as the first
>forced in human military enemies that make no sense being included in the story
>half-assed explanation on the monsters existence that doesn't even really explain or make sense, ruins the mysterious nature of them in a way
>blood and gore feels toned down compared to the first's
>level design not nearly as memorable or varied like the last game's
>Returning monster designs not as original as the last, like mainliners, slayers or marksmen
Only thing the game had going for it was that the monster designs for the new monsters were pretty good (despite their representations being boring) and your monster transformations were neat and even more fun to use (appearance changes depending on what alignment you were). Otherwise, the game just wasn't as good

>>386006204
Yeah I was incredibly hyped for the steam release especially since I waited 3+ years for it

>>386000560
Kinda weird to put Shattered Horizons on there. Isn't it shut down? You can't play it anymore.

Used to play the hell out of this. Got to the part where you play alongside multiple other nomads or whatever it was and that part just kicked my ass. Really great game and unique concept, flying island RTS is the tits. A shame barely anyone knows about this, let alone remembers it.

As with all hidden gems games, it does have its share of problems

>>385995762
This game, man.

I barely thought it would live up to the hype, let alone exceed it. I've been playing for four hours straight across only two systems and about five planets/moons, and it has been absolutely and utterly humbling. My breath is being taken away at every turn.

I just drowned trying desperately to make my way out of a dark underwater cave on a cold, lonely, massive planet, with ominous growling startling me from far across some rocky, eroded mountains against the backdrop of a massive dark blue system. Earlier I was marveling at a herd of grazing antelope-like creatures on a little yellow paradise of a moon with a pink sky. Creatures were screeching in the distance and tinkling piano chords played in the background.

I very much appreciate the technical and leveling aspects such as mining and trading, but most of all, this game has been an extremely emotional experience for me so far. I could barely pull myself away from my first system once I acquired the warp cell. No matter what I'm looking at, I have this excitement and this wonder and frustration that I am inevitably missing so much. I have never, EVER felt this lost. Space just beckons, wordlessly. What a beautiful, beautiful, titanic game. I have no words.

Enjoy, everyone. And thank you, Ayy Lmao and Area 51 Games. Jeez Louise.

I wish there was another game that made such good use of motion controls. This is what the Wii was made for, alas I don't think there is any other FPS with motion controls that compares.
