Definitely not hidden, but have gone back to Nidhogg. My housemate and I love hosting local gaming nights, and I recently got Nidhogg 2 but the framerate is awful for some reason, so have gone back to the first one. Marauders is pretty fun too.
Thanks for the train!

Nidhogg looks like a game you can spend the entire night on without knowing it! XD Thanks for the suggestion!

Hidden Gems (not sure how hidden, but maybe a little bit):
- Waking Mars was so fun for me. Probably mostly for the emergent biological systems in the game. I really did get the sense in places that while I could interact with the systems in the game, they were also doing their own thing, and sometimes it could get beyond my control if I wasn't careful.
- Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. Just a "wow" type game as I was playing it. Loved the visuals
- Hue - one of the best puzzle platformers I've ever played. (I won that one here on steamgifts - I'd never heard of it until then).
- The Swapper - also one of the best puzzle games I've ever played, and visually unique look.
- Infinifactory - I loved this game. It's probably the best Zachtronics game imho. You build an automated assembly line to construct the needed items. It's just a flexible, highly creative game. It got too hard for me to finish, but I had a blast up to that fusion reactor level where I threw in the towel.
and one I'm playing now that I'm really liking, that got really bad reviews at launch is No Man's Sky. I really like exploration type games and this one might be hidden in the sense that it got such reviews initially that many may have marked it off their list, but it probably deserves a second look if it's your kind of game. People say it's a much better game now than at launch.
edit: I also see someone else mentioned Defense Grid. I have almost 400hrs in it. Not sure how hidden it is for tower defense fans, but it might be considered a hidden gem now as I don't see it discussed much, despite it's greatness. I think the combination of story, production values, and deliberate pacing and excellent balancing make it stand out above many tower defense games.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I already have Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Hue and The Swapper in my wishlist but I didn't know the others (except for No Man's Sky). And about it, like you said, I heard it's a completely different game now with the recent patch. I might give it a try. ;)

Thank you for the train :3
And my "hidden gem"... Do I have such a thing? x.x I'm not sure if any of these games could be considered as hidden gems, because I would think, they're all well known ^^"
Lili: Child of Geos was far more entertaining then I've ever thought :3 It's fun running around, jumping on your enemies and pick their flowers :D
Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles is charming and lovely, though some people make fals comparisons and are horribly disappointed (it's more Animal Crossing than Harvest Moon or Zelda, don't know why they even compare it to these games Oo)
And "We Happy Few" is, right now, absolutely underrated .. People are bashing the game mostly for the publisher and the increased price, but the game itself, though still in early access, is so much fun! And I don't care for the publisher, because Compulsion is still in charge of everything besides the sales, so... great game! Don't let the negative reviews fool you!
Renowned Explorers was another game I loved beyond my expectations ^.^ So fun and so great that you can defeat your enemies with friendliness :3 and thanks to the many possible crew members, it never get's boring ^^
And Orwell ö.ö Great, intelligent game. I don't know how to properly describe it, but it's just great!
Bohemian Killing was different than eny other game I've played so far ö.ö I'm sure you can't reach a satisfying end after just one playthrough, because you find so many hints that won't help you in your current run, but it... really interesting and I liked it a lot :3
I'm also looking foreward to play Submerged, because I'm sure it's a great game, though I didn't really have the time to test it >.<
Sorry for my... not really helpful descriptions ._. I'm terrible at reviewing things, but these are games I enjoyed, games that surprised me, that I just love for one reason or another ^^

Quite the contrary, I really enjoyed reading your descriptions: I can tell that you loved and had fun with any of them. I already have Orwell, Renowned Explorers and Submerged in my wishlist, but I wanna thank you 'cause I didn't know the other games at all, and probably I'd never have known them if it wasn't for you. I'll take a closer look to them!

Bump! Thanks for the ride^^
Recently, I have been really enjoying Mount & Blade: Warband. I don't think it's underrated though.

Thanks for the wonderful train! And I would recommend the indie title The Room (and its sequel).

No hidden gem lately since I have been playing some mainstream games these past few months when I have time. Guess I need to diversify.
Thank you for the great train! ^.^

Hi again everyone!
Since I noticed you enjoyed my last train full of point-and-click games, I've decided to create another one, but this time there'll be mainly leftovers I have from the last humble bundles.
Towards the end, you'll find 4 "surprises": they're games that really impressed me recently and I enjoyed playing (or are at the top of my wishlist). I'm more than glad to give the opportunity to try them to you, hoping you'll like them!
The train is for level 3+ and it's protected with Sgtools. It will last six days.
But before I write the link to the train, I have a question for you: can you tell me which is your "hidden gem", the game you enjoyed the most in the last period but that's very underrated in your opinion? It doesn't matter if it's a cheap indie game or an AAA+ title... I'll surely take note of most of them and add them to my wishlist, like I did last time!
Here we go, ENJOY THE RIDE!
