Back in the day I really enjoyed ONI.
_edit: _ some gameplay footage.

The Witness. It might have had its moment but it feels like it's probably pretty forgotten at this point. It's a first person puzzle game where you're on an island ... and it's not Myst, Riven, or ... that other game that was a puzzle game where you were on an island? At least as far into it as I've played, it's pretty low stakes and there's very little in the way of videos or audio narration. It's spooky but in bright daylight. There's quite a lot of game there, too.

Honestly, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.
The remaster got some attention, but it still feels pretty niche for a game made by the Ace Attorney guy. I never felt like it got its "moment" in the same way as, say, Blue Prince.
And yet, from the moment the 15-year-old announcement trailer dropped, I knew it was going to be in "top 5 of all time" territory for me. 😍

I used to play the shit out of The Specialist, a HL1 mp mod.
Also while most were hooked on Twisted Metal my brother and I loved Vigilante 8.

The Finals.
I love it, it's also among one of the most popular games right now.
Never see anyone talking about it.

Still no love for my babe Cubivore. Shit slaps
also Frolf. I miss the gamecube era :(
https://old.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/vczi8d/someone_donated_cubivore_one_of_the_rarest/
Someone donated Cubivore, one of the rarest Gamecube games of all time, to the thrift store I work at. I got to take it home and play it for a night.
Non-japanese copies are rare. Only about 5,000 were released to western audiences.
Huh.
Yeah I used to rent it all the time, but never got a copy for myself which was a mistake. I doubt I'll ever afford a non-damaged copy lol
I have good memories of LAN parties playing a game called DEFCON which is basically the Thermonuclear War game from the 80s movie Wargames. The game itself is fairly basic but was a blast to play with a group and I am a sucker for the retro vector atheistics.

Balloon Fight. Amazing game with great controls.
I love the little known MMO Dofus. Ive been playing it on and if for almost 20 years now. Lots of very different classes, gathering and manufacturing, and a very lovely art style. The combat is grid & turn based, kind-of like Final Fantasy tactics.
An old game that never really took off, Orbz.
I was one of the best players in the world while it lasted.
Simple little game, you're a ball and you throw yourself at stars. The more you hit in a row without missing, the better your combo and score.
Essentially pong, but you play the ball, and it's on a landscape rather than somewhere you fall off and die.
I made a few levels for it.
Another was Triptych, which my friends and I called jelly tetris. Imagine tetris but the bits are springy and bounce a bit. It was a blast. Both were commercial games available on Linux at the time, early 2000s.

- Hacknet, it's almost like a detective game in a way
- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, weird gary told me to add this but it's good in it's own right
- Flight (flash game), fly a paper airplane, buy upgrades, it's kinda like the Learn To Fly series
