Enderal: Forgotten Stories

It is actually a Skyrim mod but basically a complete game that just happens to be built upon Skyrim. It features full professional quality voice acting in German and English, new game systems inspired by the Gothic series, a setting separate from Elder Scrolls, and a story that gets close to the quality of Planescape Torment or Disco Elysium. I can’t recommend it enough.

Zink,

Ooh I still haven’t tried this. I wonder if it has any issues with Skyrim VR.

pfjarschel,

It takes some fiddling, but it works, and is fantastic!

It probably works with some tinkering. I would recommend completing it once the way the modders intended since they likely never tested their game with VR in mind.

Taipan!

A naval trade game about 1800’s China from the Apple II. You won’t believe it till it happens but I’ll become addicted.

Metal Fatigue

A fun little 2000 era RTS with customisable mech chassis units/base building/multiple fighting levels per map (separate air/land/underground maps). In hindsight, it has a fiendishly difficult campaign which I remember it being a lot easier than I find it now…

milicent_bystandr,

Yes! Great fun game. Crashes for me every so often in Windows now, which is a pain especially for skirmishes because you can’t save. Have installed in Linux now but haven’t tested much - maybe it’ll work better!

I always loved the combot customisation aspect, but it seems my favourite load-out and team has changed since I played so many years ago, back when one borrowed a friend’s CD.

Hope you don’t mind but I’ve linked this thread from !squareenix. Thanks for putting it together.

Globulation2 brings a new type of gameplay to RTS games. The player chooses the number of units to assign to various tasks, and the units do their best to satisfy the requests. This allows players to manage more units and focus on strategy rather than on micro-management.

It’s actually quite old and has gone through stretches of inactivity, but appears to be kept in working order in its git repo, and recently has been getting maintenance patches.

milicent_bystandr,

How are you getting upvotes? People like it but haven’t heard of it? I want to upvote… but by the rules of the thread I have down-voted you.

I really like the non-micro-management mechanism of Globulation 2, though I seem to remember it’s a bit awkward sometimes in how it makes combat work.

And balancing upgrades to not run out of food, I’m not so sure about. I want to upgrade my globs! Always! Then they starve!

The last few times I’ve installed it, though, I always get early segfaults, usually before I can finish a game. Hope it can get some dev love.

Krauerking,

Yeah never heard of it and seems like it fit the point of the post so I had to upvote it.

I would imagine that’s exactly the point.

Golf Club Nostalgia(917 Reviews)

This is a game that isn’t here for the game play. I think if you are paying at all attention to the boring dystopia, or climate collapse communities then this will hit in a way that is hard to define.

Its a golf game. Simple, could be played on a phone really, but you have to have the sound on for this one.
You are a member of the elite refugees who have fled to Mars and only return back to Earth to use the husk of a planet for a round of golf. And your companion is a lone radio broadcast from Mars of what they have left, which is stories and the rare music that was saved.

The combination of overwhelmingly good world building and consistent vibe even down to the level names and journal entries hits like a train and made me cry at least a couple times.
It made me feel nostalgiac for a world that has not yet come to pass and is a great on sale pick.

I know you said less than 1,000 reviews but this is at 1,500 so I think it just squeaks by.

This game for lack of a better description, adorable and over too soon.

Like a mashup of pikmim, Spyro 2, and Tony Hawk Pro Skater. It’s got lots of fun platforming and new puzzle mechanics in an ever adding open world that is a true joy to traverse and cute silly little side plots that make for rather grand set pieces when it all comes together. I got 100% in 12 hours but also collect-a-thons are my jam and I was plowing through the game with grin on my face for everything but the platinum time trials.

One Way Heroics+

Semi-Rogue-like RPG, flee away from the darkness on the leftside of the screen, try and defeat demonlord and save the world. (Multiple endings)

One of my favorite games ever, guy made his own engine.

It does have design flaws, don’t get me wrong. But this is is really novel and has enough content to get somewhat deep into it.

Eventually you start seeing the same things but for essentially a one man team it’s really impressive.

Uplink

A classic from Introversion. It’s a bit older so it’s gotten over the review threshold by now, but I’d wager it’s relatively unknown.

pyr0ball,

Sorry my dude, it’s a classic now. A really really good one!

GaMEChld,

Then I am pleased to be wrong!

Space Station 14!

To me, Ctrl Alt Ego is not well known enough. It is an immersive sim in the style of Prey. You play as a robot roaming a station, where your Ego (like a spirit) can pass into and control all sorts of objects to solve puzzles, evade, control or kill enemies. The graphics aren’t impressive (it was made by a 2-person team) but the gameplay is so interesting and the story is surprisingly compelling and funny!

This one is really fun and very underrated indeed. It gives you a level with an objective, how you solve it is entirely up to you. You can sneak to the objective, shoot your way through or cause mayhem by stacking boxes, explosive barrels and more. Also, the achievements on steam are all pictures of the developers cats.

dantheclamman,
@dantheclamman@lemmy.world avatar

Yep, it lives up to the best of what immersive sims set out to be. You have point A, point B, and a million ways that you can go about getting from A to B

Bugvasion TD (9 reviews)

It’s a charming little tower defense game where you fight bugs with very fun abilities. I also play tested it so I may be a tad biased but I think it’s underated and fun :3

I genuinely have NO clue if this game is known, but i suspect it mostly isn’t.

It’s Keyboard Drumset Fucking Werewolf! It’s kinda like a music video, but it’s a music video game 👉😏

It’s a collaboration between 2000s indie weirdo darling gamedev cactus and Swedish synthpunk band Fucking Werewolf ASSO.

it’s aggressively strange and moderately challenging, but I think it’s just a goddamn delight and maybe you will too.

Vangers is a postapocalyptic and fundamentally strange top-down driving/exploration/mystery/action-RPG.

It has a unique back story, hostile worlds and an intriguing and expansive vocabulary that helps tell the story. If you are the type of person that appreciates poetic neologisms because they get your brain going, guessing at the etymology and sucking up the layers of connotation, this is up your alley.

Even if you manage to complete the game, you’ll be left wondering whether what happened was even meant to happen. It’s sort of post modern with deconstructed words, rituals and behaviors all jumbled up and muddled together as a result of a great and important event that once had meaning to creatures that may no longer even exist.

Cave Story+.

You are Quote, an amnesiac robot. The world appear to have gone to shit and you don’t know why.

It’s a 2D sidescroller, which if I told myself, I would find immediately boring, but the animation, controls and story combined as just so good. It’s so good.

Mango,

This game is decently famous. Also it’s amazing. What’s the + about?

Krauerking,

Ahhh back when Nicalis ruled the world of indie games
