Obscure games talk
(sh.itjust.works)
Tell me what is the most recent game that you played that could be considered obscure to the average person. For me it would have to be cdda/cataclysm:Dark Days Ahead. This screenshot was made by me if you're wondering.
Levelhead is essentially the "Mario Maker on PC" people have been begging for and it released with 0 fanfare. The game is amazing and the devs put a lot of effort into it (including a ~10 hour campaign) but it just never got that many players.
There's still a ton of fantastic levels and a semi-active community, the game is a lot of fun, but in terms of most underrated games it's definitely up there.
Sounds interesting, looked it up and it's already in my library, must have been in a bundle. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try it. Check out N++, it's an excellent platformer with thousands of levels as well as online scoreboard/replays and level creation/sharing: https://store.steampowered.com/app/230270/N_NPLUSPLUS/
I do like N++ but I think it's a bit too minimalist for me. The levels all blend together and there isn't that much variety.
Hm, I really like the minimalism, it's clean and easy to read. I actually think there is tremendous variety in the levels and applaud the devs for their creativity, although visually they may seem similar at first glance.
