It could have given Mass Effect a run for its money, but we may never see a sequel....

Vanquish, because every single person who has ever liked a third person shooter should play Vanquish.

Batman Begins on PS2. It introduced some elements that were later seen in the Arkham games. You could see how afraid the enemies are.

I love the personal irony of these two being next to each other. They're both ones I've always said id play.

It retroactively has basically given the BioWare afterbirth Andromeda and Anthem a run for the money based solely on the characters, camaraderie, writing, environment variety and more.
And I said it before but if that new Dragon Age doesnt bring the exact type of A game with the party (and it wont) then it's already DOA.

Songs of Syx. Empire /city builder with a ton of freedom. Grow your capital, raise an army of win by trade and diplomacy. Build a glorified empire with different races or an ethno state. Take slaves and make fighting gladiator pits. Wage massive scale wars. The game is awesome and in early access. Playing the demo is the full game only one version behind release.

Wildermyth, a really cool proceduraly generated rpg that I was really impressed by. I’ve been waiting on the Switch version forever and beginning to fear it is vaporware. It’s pc only and more people should get to play this gem.

The Last Story
an action combat game by Hironobu Sakaguchi and music by Nobuo Uematsu. who said he only made turn based game? and this game is basically Final Fantasy at heart. for example replace the Outsider with Crystal and you got a Final Fantasy game. this game also intentionally made on Wii due to that time there is trend in industry where developers too focused on visual at cost of everything and he want to prove that gameplay is most important matter and graphic is secondry.
the game goes to action also due to strong critism from western players that turnbased system is outdated.
at one point he even hope this game combat would be new style of combat system for JRPG. the combat also ahead of time even against other modern and better visual game on better hardware today. it even utilize object destruction as part of combat system and they achieved it on Wii CPU which is something even today modern AAA game rarely take advantages of despite having far better hardware.
the game combat is interesting that despite it is action game, the game is not a button masher as there is no attack button and the combat system design rely on positioning and environment interaction with command based control to ally. people salivating toward Versus 13's 3rd person shooter mode and this game has similliar mechanic.
heck you can roam at town and shoot banana toward npc and watch them fall down lmao
it is also the last console game directed by him

this game should get similliar attention as Xenoblade Chronicles. last time he tease to bring the game and sequel to PS4. wonder what happen to the plan or he just genuinely joking lol.

10 years later, the Nintendo Wii's most underrated RPG is due for a remake
'The Last Story' was one of the Wii's most imaginative RPGs, but it was held back by the hardware. Ten years later, it deserves a remake.

I've put a lot of time in these two and it seems nobody knows about them at all.
Shadows is definitely an acquired taste. The UI is shoddy and the graphics are nonexistent, but I can't look away.
Nexus, for those that know board games, is basically Twilight Imperium but faster.

unfortunately, this is not on Steam but it's the best space game ever made:
It worth more then Starfield easily. And it doesn't work on modern systems.
Some recent ones
And a not so recent one

This was the game that got me into PC gaming! Same cheap price as now got me to create my Steam account. Dangerous game… 10 years later I now have 3 PCs…

Agree, this game is underrated, the game is not too long, but also not short. Graphically awesome, artsyle also awesome, music is awesome, unfortunatelly, people not dig enough this game.
I know EDF since almost two decade ago, but just barely try it a year ago... I was wrong, rhis game is guilty pleassure! So addictive

IMO 4.1 is better. 5 took itself too seriously and had a slow start (who the fuck needs tutorial/walking segments in a EDF game??)

Wario World (GameCube)
Lost kingdoms 1&2
Chaos Legion
Lost odyssey (best FF game)
Ape Escape series.
Breath of fire 4
Gotcha Force
Skies of Arcadia
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Mushimesama Futari 1.5
I feel like these are some incredible games no one really talks about, I'm sure gaming enthusiast here may know them though.

Never had that, I finished it on Xbox. Was one of my favorite games that year, think I had it at #3. Critics were drunk when reviewing it.

Personally, it's one of the favorite recommendations I've seen on the list. Will get soon.

Just got this on the wii a few weeks ago. Got it with Muramasa and metroid prime3 (now only need 2). It is awesome, had it on the vita first. I know the vita game had the word "New" in front of the title so things must of been changed, so far I am not seeing it though. Maybe I should dig my vita back out. Hopefully can re-download it from the store.
Shame it never got a sequal or a switch remaster.

now also in HD
Shame its not on steam. I have it on Windows, with mod , but damn would love to play on steam deck. Too much trouble getting anything working if not on steam.
We will never get a game like that again will we?

Lords of the Fallen is a good souls game .. it has its flaws... but dont be fooled by souls purists reviews... its a classic souls experience much better than Elden boRing (imho) ... I think the sequel recently announced is going to be something special since the devs really listened to the complaints and did some fine tuning from the feedback.
