What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved? (lemmy.world)

I've been recently been thinking about Arkane Studio's Prey which is a immersive sim, with a pretty good rogue like dlc, that probably has one of the strongest hooks of any game I've played. If you liked Halflife, System Shock, or Deus Ex it's definitely worth a play.

Are there any titles that might not have been commercially successful that you feel everyone should give a shot?

Aww man, I loved Heat Signature and Gunpoint both. They definitely deserve some more love.

Both games are by Tom Francis. His new game Tactical Breach Wizards is 'coming soon' as well

A lot of the games people have mentioned here are either obscure games I've never heard of or newer titles in niche communities. But Gun Point is an obscure game I have actually played, I think they could have picked a better name for it though for a game where most combat isn't firearms based it's slightly misleading and probably deterred some people.
