Excluding all games you have seen mentioned by anyone on the internet, what is your favorite game?
Excluding all games you have seen mentioned by anyone on the internet, what is your favorite game?
Any kind of game
EDIT: changed from suggested to mentioned and made the title more clear
A game that’s never mentioned on the internet? Probably would have to be something that came on those shareware discs in the 90s then.
I’ll go with the Adventures of MicroMan
Based recommendation, microman was one of the earliest platformers I played. I still remember insert to shoot being an awkward keybind.
3D Movie Maker (1995) - Game for Windows 95
“What’s up Wanda” “Let’s sprint”
The delivery of those two lines are burned into my memory.
Inevitably every movie I’d make in that program would just be 2 characters karate kicking each other and then exploding
Quartile
Closely followed by Mexican train domino
Quest for Glory series. Got me into RPGs.
Cultures 2.
Battlezone 2: Combat Commander. When I started playing that, my brother and I had to face each other and use our laptops' infrared ports.
Challenge accepted. Does anyone recognize Llamatron: 2112? I played it on Amiga, but I think it was also on Atari and DOS.
It was an acid trip "llamas are funny" parody of Robotron: 2084, and it was a fuckin' BLAST!
So if I'm not counting close friends recommending games to me as "mentioned on the internet" probably Crystal Project, according to Steam. Otherwise, we'd need to go back to things that I was told about by family members way back in the day that I both like and haven't seen mentioned online since, which is trickier. Thief The Dark Project, possibly?
If you haven't played Thief: The Dark Project I recommend it and its sequels. Don't play Thief (no subtitle) though, it's AAA garbage.
The dark pictures anthology: man of medan.
Freelancer, very fun space sim that didn't quite seem to get popular enough
Have you seen Underspace? Its almost a spiritual successor to Freelancer. Take Freelancer and add Eldritch horrors and you have Underspace. IIt's still in Early Access but definitely scratches the itch.
Some of my favorites that I don’t usually see mentioned would be Inmost, that game is fantastic, and Momodora Reverie Under the Moonlight. Honestly the whole Momodora franchise is great, worth checking out.
Go
Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising. It's the only game in the Carrier Command-like subgenre of RTS that isn't part of the Carrier Command series. Shockingly well written, too, for what it is.
Hammershlagen
I don't see many people ever really talking about them at all outside of fans, but Krosmaga and One More Gate from Ankama.
Krosmaga is a deck builder autochess like game (with something like 9 or 10 different classes/dieties with different abilities to build around, alongside a bunch of non-specific cards any class could use in their deck). Place summons/spells to protect your Dofus (dragon eggs, to simplify what they are) and destroy theirs. Matchmaking is either play against computer, who randomly selects class and gets default deck, or just flatout random player. Don't think there's any selective matchmaking, sadly.
One More Gate is a short enough roguelite game where you accidentally destroy a portal and have to fix it by beating bosses in new areas, usually after multiple failed runs. Has meta progression, which I personally am not the biggest fan of.
Gameboy color dinosaur JRPG / metroidvania that seemingly no one else has ever played. Called Dinosaur'us. I had to google the name there and it turns out there is a wikipedia page so it's not totally obscure - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur'us
I loved this game as a kid! There are surprisingly few good dinosaur games (although admittedly a lot of good dragon ones).
World in Conflict is one I don't see talked about. Squad based military RTS.
Multiplayer on that was so fun. Guessing how the enemy was moving in order to time how you call ordinance on them was my favorite part
Not a video game but a boardgame called Nightmare
I never see Cultist Simulator recommended but it's one of my favorites. It really captures the idea of studying the esoteric arts, and has a surprising amount of world building given how simple the presentation is.
Cultist simulator made me depressed. I simply cannot play it.
Has gotta be either Dusk or Ultrakill. Especially Ultrakill. I'm really bad at it, but it's so good that I couldn't care less.
Xcom 2.
A friend recommended it to me because he thought I would like it. It's my favourite game and I have 100% it.
I haven't seen "The London Game" on the internet; that can be a lot of fun.
Most of the other stuff I like I've seen somewhere or other.
Too many ninjas
Naptunes pride
A game that I've never seen mentioned online but I played the shit out of is Metal Fatigue. RTS game with huge robots. Fucking dope
Nice I picked that up in a steam sale a while back Nd haven't tried it yet
Star Goose
Tzolk’in is my favorite game, I think. It is a board game that incorporates time in an interesting way for a worker-placement style game.
This has one of the best boards in my collection.
I played a game called Mindtrap as a kid, it was a box of different cards with puzzles on them.
The actual game is you played on teams to answer these riddles, but I just looked at the cards and tried solving them. I think they revamped it more recently.
Majesty.
It's a strategy simulation game, a bit like an RTS, but you can't directly control units.
Instead all units follow general archetypes. Rogues generally won't spontaneously help you but will do most anything for money. Warriors will seek out monsters and lairs that have been discovered. Rangers will explore the map. Units will also do things like buying potions or upgraded equipment based on their class and intelligence.
As the player you choose what buildings to place and can offer rewards for exploring an area or killing something.
There was a sequel, but it's a significantly worse game than the original.
Literally any game I like is gonna have me seeking out the Internet community for it. Your question is kinda broken this way.
Each Anno Domini game consists of 336 cards, with a description of a historical event on one side of the card and the year (and sometimes specific date) in which it happened on the other. All Anno Domini games can be played as a standalone item or mixed with some or even all other editions.
In Anno Domini, each player receives nine cards (or fewer, if you want the game to be shorter) and may look only at the descriptions. In turn, players place a card on the table, trying to place their card in chronological order to those already present. Instead of adding a card, a player may claim that the order in which the cards have been placed is incorrect. In this case all cards are turned over and the correct years revealed.
If the order is correct, then the doubting player receives two cards and skips a turn. If the order is incorrect, then the previous player – who accepted the order as correct or made it incorrect through her own placement – receives three cards. The first player with no cards remaining in hand wins.
The Anno Domini game series exist only in German.
Haven't seen it mentioned here, but my favorite game of all time is one that is Rarely mentioned - if ever,
The World Ends With You, originally for the DS, now on Switch.
MC Neku has 7 days to figure out wtf is going on in The Reaper's Game, but he can't remember anything.
Fun combat mechanics, the DS version had you fighting 2 combat encounters at the same time, one on the top screen, and the main one on the bottom screen. The sound track was amazing! I still have multiple soundbytes from that game as ringtones.
Plus it has some bitchin songs https://youtu.be/i0569Wt-cZ0?si=xZ84zeNmAzgehLln
Love Calling, its actually my ringtone :D
Image Fight on NES. It's a top down scrolling shooter where you fly a space ship and pick up new weapons and attachments. I was terrible at it as a kid but I loved it and kept trying to progress further. I've thought about picking up a copy now but just haven't gotten around to it
Legretto
I was introduced to the game by an Austrian woman I dated in my 20s and 25 years later remains at the top of my list of party games.
Ligretto is a card game for two to twelve players. The game in its current form was designed by Michael Michaels and published in 1988 by the German company Rosengarten Spiele. Since 2000 the game has been published by Schmidt-Spiele of Berlin, Germany. - Wikipedia>
That game looks pretty similar to a game I know as "Racing Demons", played with regular playing cards
Tap Ninja: A Idle ninja-slayer game have more than 700 achievement.
Rusted Warfare: A RTS game.
Zortch: A Quake like boomer shooter.
Actual recommendations, but bring your friends AND beer:
Super SMASH Tv
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
———————————————
Only if you’re a masochist because you REALLY REALLY like flying through rings then Superman64 is probably the best game there is
Zombies Ate My Neighbors was a masterpiece. It had somewhat similar gameplay, graphics and humor to one of my other favorites that I've never seen mentioned - Herc's Adventures on PSX. Not sure if they were the same studio or something?
Edit: So I looked it up, and yeah, both made by LucasArts within a few years, so likely the same team or at least a lot of crossover.
The Sexy Brutale!
It's a murder/puzzle game and I really enjoyed it.
I really liked that game!
In Sound Mind, a really creative horror game by the makers of the popular "Nightmare House" mod. It has a great atmosphere, an interesting story, regularily goes on sale for 3 bucks, can be bought DRM free on GOG and has a fantastic soundtrack by The Living Tombstone (https://youtu.be/CBIQNiNBbYs ).
Also, there's a cute cat in the game you can pet.
I don't know about favorite, but a game I remember playing ball in the Nintendo, super Nintendo days was a game called Another World. Never met another person who has played it except one of it irl friends. Wikipedia claims it's one of the best video games ever made, oddly.
Kind of a platformer, kind of a puzzler, very surreal.
Absolutely loved this Another World (Out of This World in the US)! It looked like nothing else, had cut scenes, even a little load time (not common on a SNES). Early polygon look before Star Fox came out even.
Out of This World! No wonder the name looked weird to me. I had to look it up because it's been so long I forgot the name!
Got this game for free through twitch free games which turned out to be a surprising gem for me:
Dead in Vinland - Turn based group survival management game with some exploration and combat mechanics but the real juice of the game is in the writing and character development.
Story overall is ehhhh but it's just a stage for the characters you meet :>
I really loved a game called "Island: A Game Of Survival" which was loaded onto school computers in my Canadian province during the DOS days.
Powder by Jeff lait. I think you can get it at a website called zincland or something?
It's an old school roguelike that absolutely slaps, though its gotten significantly harder to play since the wiki stopped being hosted
Urban Rivals. No one is talking about that game anymore. It used to be an amazing browser game. By now it's even on steam, but apparently they cut a lot of the animations so the crowd isn't happy about it. The card artworks are cool and the gameplay (was) fun. I don't know if it's still the same, as live games tend to change game mechanics.
Every other game I play('d) is mentioned at least sometimes (once a week).
Even stuff like Gothic, Golden Sun, Ragnarok Online.
My eyes naturally found Golden Sun in your comment, so I immediately upvoted before I finished reading your thoughts.
Now I’m curious about Urban Rivals and will check it out since I haven’t played browser games since ~2000-2006.
Golden Sun is love, so much so, that there's hardly a week when I don't stumble upon that name.
I saw that name and thought "isn't that a PS2 game?" - then I checked, it's Urban Reign the one I thought about.
I can't answer anything since lemmy is the internet and once I answer whatever I mention will breach the requirement by virtue of me (anyone) mentioning the game on lemmy (the internet).
Anyhow, I learnt about Diablo 2 from my cousins when I was 7 and played it a lot before knowing internet was a thing, does that apply the non fucked up version of your request?
I have said "seen" Technically, the comment is not on the internet until its submitted
You can just post it and quickly leave the app before its been submitted to the internet
Full Spectrum Warrior.
What a neat game that nobody talks about. It's in the squad level tactical shooter wheelhouse, although it isn't actually a shooter. You take an over-the-shoulder view switching between two (sometimes 3) teams in a squad, directing them through levels. It is sort of like Brothers In Arms, though in a more modern setting, small numbers of people to control, and having to fully rely on your NPCs to kill the enemies. An interesting twist on the squad management genre, it sits somewhere between a tactical management shooter, and a top down management game like Door Kickers.
Not sure if it's my favourite, but I definitely haven't seen it mentioned on the internet: Kai Chronicles!
It's an app with the entire lone wolf saga CYOA books in digital format, for free, no ads.
Definitely would recommend.
Well that rules out pretty much every video game. So here's my favorite card game instead.
It's called Illimat. It's very strategic but easy to finish a game in under an hour. It's essentially a game of pattern recognition and "harvesting" sets of cards. The goal is to harvest the most points each round.
Fitting into the overall theme of farming, there are four fields to harvest from, and each field is in a different season. Players can change the seasons by playing special cards, and the seasons affect the types of actions that may be performed in each field.
Everyone I've played with has enjoyed this game.
There was this officially licensed Star Trek tabletop starship battle game that I got to play a couple times in the eighties and no one seems to remember it but me. Wish I could find a copy. I remember it being a blast.
I could rattle off a whole list of TRS-80 Model I/III or Apple ][ games that no one has ever heard of, but I'll spare you.
I'm pretty sure I played a couple rounds with a friend of mine some 25 years ago.
Mainly remember it because I had not really watched any st back then, and the weapons and propulsion etc were all a bit confusing
This is a hard one because I generally try to play good games these days, and good games either get popularized through word of mouth or Youtubers make video essays about how they were misunderstood at the time. For me, this question is really asking "Hey what weird trash did you find back when you were 10 years old digging through the bargain bin for whatever you could trade two games you finished for."
I think my big picks from the weird trash are The Urbz, which comes from back when they made Sims spinoff games instead of endless DLC, and Ty the Tasmanian Devil, which was a 3D platformer metroidvania that revolved around collecting increasingly elaborate boom-a-rangs. I definitely sunk the most hours into the Urbz, because nothing was more fun to a 10 year old than going around a virtual town flipping people off.
nooo I was gonna say Urbz!
I always find it strange that nobody ever mentions World of Goo
I hate games like that but I couldn't put it down!
I assume you saw the sequel?
I've been seeing that one mentioned a lot lately because the sequel just came out.
Loco roco 1,2,3 on psp. Played the shit out of them when I was a kid
No One Lives Forever
To this day I have no idea why I bought it. And I bought it close to its release date. I would only do that if I had been absolutely obsessed for months with previews and stuff. But I remember none of that.
And still it ended up becoming one of my all time favourites.
Are you talking about 1 or 2? I always thought 2 was better and introduced a load of mechanics (to me at least) that are commonplace nowadays. This was the first FPS game I played where getting found during a stealth mission didn’t completely ruin everything. And the concept of unkillable enemies that you can only run from.
Definitely 1. The second one wasn't bad. I mean, nothing beats a katana fight in trailer a flying through a tornado. But something about that game was always missing for me. I couldn't lay my finger on it (apart from Cate's actress changing). And I hate the endlessly respawning enemies.
Game of the year! Is it just you or is it hot in here?
Either way I think you need a cold shower!
The Incredible Machine! the original Rube Goldberg game. me and my friends played the shit out of it in the 90s. a few years ago i decided to give it a google and i found out that not only were there an expansion i hadn't heard of, there were five other games in the series.
Ohh, Factorio.
Banana Nababa - like an old 8 bit action platformer, but it's just the bosses
Excluding all games you have seen mentioned by anyone on the internet
Well, shit, that makes my list really, really fucking small.
I guess Clutch? Literally never seen anyone mention it before, cheap carmageddon clone
Dungeon Keeper
Def one of my all time favorites.
Me too! I do play KeeperFX though, which is an amazing remake.
I don't know how to link the Dungeon Keeper community here on Lemmy but I made on lemmy.world for it.
Escape Velocity Nova
That game is the shit. It's even easy to play on Windows now, which was very much not the case back in the day.
Pioneer
It's open source, and if you're on Linux, it's probably in your repos.
Kinda like a cross between Elite and Kerbal Space Program.i don't know about "cross" :P it's a bit-for-bit reimplementation of Elite 2. i loved that game as a kid and pioneer is a great version of it.
Idk, I remember hide-and-go-seek being pretty sick as a kid. I don't often see it mentioned.
Ahhh shit, I just did and now I can't say it.
Hero’s Quest by Sierra (Later renamed to Quest for Glory)
So, you want to be a hero?
Probably my most replayed game, along with Betrayal at Krondor.
Have you checked out the excellent remake of QfG2?
Two very niche board games from the 70s: "Snit's Revenge" "Lie, Cheat, and Steal"
And an old Avalon Hill wargame: "Wooden Ships and Iron Men"
Commander Keen might be one of the few old enough not to have been mentioned to me since the internet became well-known.
Also, Squarez.
Commander Keen
Only if you never watch CV-11.
Slay the dragon.
Go play it. It's worth it.
Sid Meiers' Pirates of the Carribean
Lode Runner
Loved Lode Runner! Broderbund Software, right? I think they also made Choplifter.
Yup broderbund, one of the first games available for our Mac classic
Shallow Thought Of The Day: Any game mentioned in this thread twice is automatically someone who didn't read all the comments before posting.
Or they did read all the comments, but someone posted their game during the time they were reading, so they never actually saw it. Then they posted their game and looked a stinky non-reader even though they weren't.
Technically any mention of any game is a breach of the requirements since by virtue of them posting it it already disqualifies their very same comment as per the requirement.
Heres one nobody knows or talks about...
Shootout 3.
When I was about 15 (20 years ago) I made my own game on "Game Maker" and me and my mates had a heap of fun on it... I uploaded it to some old forum somewhere, but long since lost the files/website and am unable to ever play it again :(
My current phone game is ∞ Loop. Just a simple puzzle-type game.
I also like a variety of solitaire card games, but the app I used to like has become quite enshittified, and I haven't found a good replacement.
Super dodgeball for the NES.
Deceptively simple, but much deeper than it seems on first glance. Each character has 2 different special abilities that change the way you throw. Especially if you can get a few buddies to huddle around the tv with you, will keep you all entertained for hours.
TLL (Tornado Low Level) on the ZX Spectrum was amazing at the time, and Cyclone was a sort of follow up but I don’t know if it was the same developer or anything.
If its out of non-mentions it has to be Space Station 13. I hope 14 on Steam catches up soon, been thinking of lending a hand.
Probably havent player it in ten years but Kirby super star ultra. There is just SO MUCH content. I swear there are like a dozen minigamss and multiple "main games". All on the DS, it's crazy.
Other than that, megaman zero. Great music, tight controls and great story. Its fucking hard of course but super fun.
Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters
The original creators are doing a follow-up!
After the lackluster "sequels" (Star Control 3 and Star Control: Origins) that were made largely without the original developers input, I had pretty much given up the franchise for dead till now.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pistolshrimp/free-stars-children-of-infinity
For those of you not in the know, you can get Star Control 2 for free on Steam and see what the pinnacle of DOS adventure gaming was all about :D
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2645580/Free_Stars_The_UrQuan_Masters/
Yep, I backed the Kickstarter and hang out in their Discord. Wasn’t sure on the rules about promoting stuff like that so I didn’t mention it. :-)
Sorry if you know this game, but I've met plenty of people who haven't and I've never seen it mentioned online until I searched for it today: Contact!
Descent
Incredible series. I'm glad we got Overload, even if it's not quite the same caliber
I picked up a copy of Overload somewhere on the high seas. The graphics on that game are so intense that my poor little laptop can only get like 3 frames per second at its absolute lowest resolution and quality settings ☹️
Maybe one day I'll get a better system worthy of high end games. It's just not high on my priorities list now, as I don't play games nearly as often as I did in my teens and 20s.
Descent 2 earthshaker multiplayer was my jam. Went through so many joystick hats!
Airborne Kingdom
Cogmind! I found that game after I bought Caves Of Qud. Technically it wasn't recommended to me by anyone directly (just found it one day scrolling through Steam). Its an excellent RPG where you play as a self-assembling robot trying to escape from a massive robot colony thing. Haven't gotten super far into the game yet but I absolutely love the gameplay and sound design. Check it out!
Also, NES Open; the greatest golf game ever made in my opinion. I've had it since I was a kid and have never heard anyone talk about it online. Simple gameplay, high skill ceiling. Exactly what a golf game needs to be!
Labyrinth!
Each turn you first move one column or row of the gameboard over by one, then move as far as you like along any unobstructed path as you race against other players to collect magiffins in the ever-changing maze.
It's a game that rewards both creative thinking and sabotage. It helps develop strategy and spatial reasoning. It's simple enough for a kindergartner to learn but engaging enough for adults to enjoy even after dozens of games.
Reminds me ever so slightly of the Genesis game Fatal Labyrinth. It's a terrible video game, but if you're curious...
All time biggest time sinks are probably Civilization 2 and Factorio.
Biggest time sink you’ve never heard of is Ancient Dungeons of Mystery, a one-man Roguelike dungeon delving passion project.
I really like backgammon but no one ever wants to play with me
Board game: Sheriff of Nottingham, i just love social deception games.
Video game: BETON BRUTAL, 3D platformer with similar parkour like Minecraft, but more polished. Overall pretty chill to sink some time into.
I love Sheriff, even if I'm terrible at it lol.
Other favorites in our group are Coup, Resistance, and for really big groups we play Two Rooms and a Boom.
Action Quake 2 - AQ2
An online 90s FPS
--//--
Card game - Simplicity and depth, exceptional gameplay. Best at 2P.
Jade cocoon 2 for the PS2.
A brilliant mix of tactics and Pokemon. You have a box composed of 8 slots surrounding you, 4 edges of different coolers, and 4 corners that combine 2 colors, you get to pick of 6 monsters to fill those 8 slots, each edge is a different style of move, red is attack, blue is defend, green is heal, yellow is cast, some monsters only have 1 color affiliated with them, some have 3, you select which side/color of box you want to attack your opponent with, if you don't have a monster in the middle of that color they can attach your hit point pool directly.
I rarely see it mentioned, and I think that's a shame, it was very creative for being in a very popular genre
Bounty Bob on the C64 was goood.
Two gamecube games that I never see discussed anywhere, and no equal sequel has ever released for:
Cubivore & Frolf
I am still so sad to not be an owner of either in a physical capacity :’(
Does making a list of all games not on any list count as a game? Also, what happens since that game is now on a list making the original list incorrect?
My actual answer would probably be the old SSI games on Amiga specifically for Death Knights of Krynn or similar, though I don't think they hold up super well (it's 1st ed D&D specifically in Dragonlance and adapted to PCs of the time).
Castle of the winds.
I had this as a kid. From a shareware compilation CD.
For the Gen-Z kids in the audience, that's like a little snapshot of the internet that you bought at a computer show or flea market for $2, and was worse than the internet because it didn't have any boobies on it, except it was better than the internet because your parents wouldn't gripe at you constantly for always tying up the house's telephone line and you barely had to wait to play anything on it.
Where was I again?
Oh yeah. I got my ass kicked by that game. It was also cool that you could set any Windows .ico file as your player character, though. You could run around as Captain Notepad or Sir Calculator the Algebraic if you wanted to.
Ok, any game that I've ever seen mentioned by someone online in my almost 30 years on the internet is going to strike most titles and leave only the ones that are really old, obscure, or both. So, here are a few that I like but can't recall seeing mentioned online other than when specifically looking them up:
- Stunt Island. Airplane sim-like game by Disney studios. Early 90's
- Rocking Cats. Awesome NES platformer that has a really fun take on the genre
- Armadillo Run. Physics puzzle that a friend of mine recommended in the mid 2000s.
- Sacrifice. Weird (the good kind of weird) first person strategy game I pirated once after finding it on an FTP. Fucking amazing game from somewhere in the early 2000s
- A.r.s.e.n.a.l. An RTS from the late 90s. Don't send an attack without fuel trucks!
Holy crap Armadillo Run! I had totally forgotten about this game, someone had it on a flash drive in my physics class and we all got a copy and played it.
The boardgame Heat is one of my all time favorites. Thunder Road Vendetta is right up there too, and I am waiting to put them together for an all road race/rage saturday with my boardgame peeps.
Herzog Zwei on the Sega Genesis was one of my favorites back in the day!
Snake. There are many good versions of it, but I'd say my favourite is the one from coolmathgames.com .
Double Dare the videogame for the Nintendo Entertainment System
Edit: I accidentally hit the post comment button, so I might as well add something:
I think I might've mentioned this once before, but The Eternal Castle [REMASTERED] stood out to me for its stylized graphics and animation. Or if you're in the mood for a puzzle game, Temple of Snek might be good to try.
inserts ID card:
Bunny ears, Jar, Pill, Heart.
Door Opens
Thinking about it, reducing my entire game library to not suggested titles anywhere decreases its size drastically. It easily knocks like 20 games I would list normally.
With that said, Last Command was a nice bullet hell game. Would reccomend
I came across Blade Runner on GOG. I don’t remember when but I think it was on sale. I didn’t touch it for at least a year or two until two days ago. It is so amazing. It has the old school 90’s point and click vibe while being an amazing detective story (one I could imagine even being made into a movie itself).
Fragile allegiance. Desperately needs a redo with a first person mode and better ui
Favorite is a tough one to pick. There are many games that have genuinely shaped my life, some that I still play consistently, others that hold a dear place in my heart but I'll likely never pick back up for various reasons.
Games that I play all the time and get the most value out of are not necessarily my favorite games. I've been playing the crap out of satisfactory since it's 1.0 release, and it's definitely up there, but it doesn't evoke the same feelings I had when I played Skyrim for the first time, nor do I think it will create formative memories like the Halo, Sly Cooper, or Ratchet and Clank series did for me.
Well shit. I guess I don't have an answer. Sorry.
ICO never gets mentioned and is legitimately my #1 all time with Another World a close 2nd that also never gets mentioned
Dark Souls 1. The only game I bothered getting all achievements for.
Favorites come and go with the seasons, but objectively, the one game that we have played more than anything in my house is Silver.
We've bought all the expansions and created our own variation of playing with ALL the cards.
I really enjoyed Doom 3. Has more of a horror vibe compared to the hack and slash nature of the rest of the series, but I feel its very enjoyable and doesn't feel as old as it is.
So... A game that actually isn't my favorite, just the favorite amongst things that I've never seen mentioned anywhere?
Shit... Even the most obscure games I know about, I know about because someone else mentioned them.
I guess I'll have to go with Fightin' Herds? It's one of the few games I have that I bought entirely on the screenshots from the store page and I've never seen anyone mentioned it ever. In the simplest explanation: It's a 2D side scrolling fighting game with animal characters designed by Lauren Faust (the creator of MLP: Friendship is Magic). It's not a very good game. It's extremely cheap and unfair, like way more than any other fighting game I've played. The adventure mode is also kinda shit because it takes the already bad fighting mechanics and makes you do platforming and Smash Bros style horde fights against multiple opponents and the controls just aren't really designed for that shit (up is jump and it doesn't like you trying to jump forward so making what looks like an easy jump is harder than it has to be). I haven't even gotten 25% through the story mode :(
Actually... Matt Muscle should be told about this pile of dogshit for his Worst Fighting Game Ever series... 🤔
I don't know what you're on but the game is widely considered to be very solid and surprisingly great despite the whole MLP connection. There was also a lot of praise for the story mode and disappointment that it never got finished. It has high execution combos and some deeper mechanics.
tbf my favorite games ever are the management Kairosoft games. They are simple, no graphics but can be pretty challenging. It has a pretty loyal followers (like me) lol. Not every game is the best but it's an amazing little game to have on your phone
7 stud. Hold-em kids can't keep track of the muck.
Always liked Power Pete, and if you don’t have vertigo, the Descent series.
Tf2 maybe ? Honorable mentions: Tetris, Dwarf Fortress, stormworks, bg3
You have never seen anyone recommend Baldurs Gate 3 or Dwarf Fortress?
Looks like I miss understood the question.
A saw every one of them recommended. However I didn’t play them because of these recommendations.
Your original question reads like it's limited to this thread, not games you've seen recommended anywhere and everywhere
