Hidden game gems, games that went under but are great, etc.

Bulletstorm!
Funny, good story and great gameplay... and not enough sales to make them develop Bulletstorm 2 :'(

-star wars jk:ja;
-Blade of Darkness - it was a good game, I always wanted a sequel;
-Dark Messiah of M&M - awesome game, but not enough appreciation;
-Elveon - it was cancelled.

Really good game and i love their music theme from menu

I really loved Titan Quest, but it rarely gets mentioned anywhere. It had some issues with bugs, as did the expansion, but Titan Quest Gold (with the fan-patch and use of TQVault) is an outstanding dungeon crawler. It has an absurd amount of loot, tons of voice-over work and a variety of locations with a diverse skill tree. The expansion adds a lot of features to the game, so I'd highly recommend playing it complete (TQ + TQ: Immortal Throne + fan-patch).

HELLGATE LONDON - Despite some flaws, it was not that bad. Though it may not count as 'hidden' since it turned to Hellgate Global.

scrapland, its futuristic gta with robots

Once again, I have to mention "The Cat Lady"!

Hardwar! With a flightstick this game was great when I was younger :)
I don't know of anyone else who have played it. Random lets play of the game

Too Human was alot of fun, i wish they would have finished the trilogy tho but they stopped after the first one
also the Kingdom Under Fire series is amazing, i really hope this new one actualy comes out

Hidden Gem as far as Steam goes...

Could I nominate The Last Remnant? If I remember correctly it did not do that well. However so far that I have played.. I really love the game! Not sure if it would be possible for another one to be made ( sequel ) since I have not fully beaten it yet.. but so far I like it enough that I would buy a sequel with no problems :P

As for older games.
Masters of Monsters on the Sega Genesis. Turn based stratagy game where you select a "Master" and summon various monsters to try to kill the other masters. Was quite fun. The AI in the campaign cheated big time though lol. They had special monsters only they could summon.. the bastards :P

I almost want to say Shining Force 1&2 but both actually did fairly well back then. I can not say anything about the third since only 1/3rd of the game was released outside of Japan and I have never got to play the full game :(

Not sure if the STALKER games could be considered underrated or not.. but I think they are great games and are worthy of a mention :P Especially with the mods that make the games look even better. ( Keep in mind, I do not own, nor have I played Clear Sky )

Could probably think of a bunch more... but this comment is already getting a bit too big :P

I remember Hidden & Dangeorous was left aside pretty roughly back when it was released, however i had no internet at the time, so i can't really say how well known it was.

This may be extremely biased, but i remember Evolva being such a big hit for me when it was out as well.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

Vampire Redemption and Bloodlines (Bloodlines was quite known though)

-Giants: Citizen Kabuto (The multiplayer was sooooooo much fun back when there were people playing :P)
-Armed and Dangerous

I dunno if it counts as really overlooked but the Treasure Adventure Game remake (http://treasureadventureworld.com/) hasn't even hit 5 grand so far and it looks amazing

Omikron the nomad soul. I can't remember it being very popular, though I may be wrong. It's a great game from Quantic Dreams and the fact that it features David bowie in the soundtrack AND as a character should be a big selling point alone.

OK, let's think....

• Giants Citizen Kabuto, but I've never heard other people talk about it ;)
• Project Nomads
• Arx Fatalis
• XIII

can't think of more right now ;)

"Startopia" without a doubt. Themepark-style management game, but on a donut-shaped space-station with good humour and addictive gameplay. One of my highest rated all-time games.

"Severence : Blade of Darkness" (going under just "Blade of Darkness" on GOG). This is basically the Demons/Dark Souls of the previous era. Sure the graphics didn't age so well, but that lighting system is still delicious and still a solid adventure if you have a hunger for games with good difficulty.

"Sacrifice", an RTS game played from the ground floor, as a commander running about partaking in combat himself, who also happens to be a mage. This one has a hellish difficulty curve and can be pretty vexing until you come to terms with how important the struggle for enemy/allied souls is, but it was a rewarding experience with the kind of kooky characters you'd expect of Shiny.

That's my "Power S-3". I will never forget them <3

I never cease to mention Fragile Allegiance in these types of threads, and only one person has ever replied, acknowledging that they know of that game. very sad really, as it was and still is an amazing 4x strategy game.

Thought of another; Recoil -- Videogamegeek page --- youtube video

play as a tank driver fighting a guerrilla war against a network corporation that has enslaved humanity plain and simple third person tank shooter with some slight terrain deformation gameplay from explosives its sort of in the same vein as Duke Nukem 3D but better imo.

This game which is named War Inc, but is different than the new war inc.

This one was a real time strategy, with a business/company management side. You could invest in the stock market and by owning a majority in companies, you got new technology. There were offensive and defensive maps (the AI would attach your established bases). However, one of the best parts was the instruction manual. It looked like boring business notes that someone had gone back through and doodled in. They were pretty funny. Brilliant game, I wish it would still play.

If it wasn't here, Sacrifice.

Original War? You mean the one in Bohemia's store? Huh...I was thinking of getting that, actually (gog.com is slightly cheaper, though).

I'd have to say...errr...Killing Floor isn't exactly HIDDEN, but it barely has even people playing it as it should. Hmmm...I suppose FTL counts.

FTL: Faster than Light, then.

The 3 Tex Murphy games that came out on CD-Rom in the 90s. FMV at its finest. They're all on GOG. Great mix of sci-fi, hard-boiled detective, and humor. Can't wait for the new one.

Demon´s Crest is not as popular as it should be.

The Neighbours from Hell series

The KKND series.
