CarX Drift Racing http://steamcommunity.com/app/635260
I have to say that this game deserves some attetion. It is a mobile port but works pretty good on PC and I was skeptical about this tittle
because there's plenty similar games like this one on steam. Seriously there's like 6 or 7 others tittles with that same concept
but all of them are trash, because the handling/physics on "drifting" is pretty lame, but I gotta say NOT ON THIS ONE.
It's pretty recent on store, it doesnt offer as much I would like too, early acess tittles ... (unfortunately I got used to buy that kind stuff)
I admit that I'm kinda scared that it might be descontinued since the previously tittle I bought with that same concept is into dust after months
and partialy scared because all those projects are russian lol. It's true thought. I'm talking about DriftStreetsJapan.
This one is probally the single one of all of those similar games on store that really worth buying, physics are pretty good, 8 bucks atm.

Great recommendations in this thread. I have a one myself - Kalimba. If you love puzzle platformers this is a must buy. It has 24 levels + 10 designed for local co-op play. I tried it with a friend and it is brilliant, requires a lot of coordination. We laughed a lot and had a good time.
Game has 2 DLC, 10 new solo and co-op levels which also can be bought in a bundle for a small discount. If you want some extra challenge you can try to speedrun levels and make a mark on leaderboards. :)
My only gripe with a game is that it doesn't have online co-op, but I can understand why - it requires really precise timings, and even smallest lag can potentially ruin the experience. Game has sold only about 10k copies which is abysmal.

Wuppo is a crazy-cute nonsensical adventure in a weird world. Vaguely Yoshis Island feeling to it, good sense of humor, and really surprising that nobody seems to know about the game. Hell, not even youtube streamers seem to have picked up on this one.
If I didn't have two friends that I need to gift this to first, I would have made a GA here for it already.

Not Dying Today [Currently -75% Sale] - Really nice side-scrolling brawler with top-notch graphics...feels like a well-made 90's arcade game and has a lot of polish. Definitely recommended for fans of this genre.

Aren't those of the games from this list already well-known though? Should I find and post here some actually good games which didn't get much recognition to begin with?
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, The Fidelio Incident sold like 2k copies, which is not nearly enough. Sundered is well-known (and pretty awesome, if you ask me!), but not that many people buy it. There are many games on the list with just a few thousand copies sold. I think they deserve a spot in the list.
but yes, please list games that didn't do well and should sell better. i still didn't look through all the posts here, so it might take me some time to get to you and add your games to the list. but i will do it eventually. :)

I was going to buy Sundered but i watched some reviews and decided not to buy. I mean it's a cool looking game for sure but for the other parts not really that enjoyable for me to give full price. Also i don't think it gets hate %74 on steam looks pretty fair for that game imo.
I am very interested in Late Shift i might pick it up.

well, in the first days it had "mixed reviews" with 52% (i believe), which probably hurt their sales a lot. i just thought that was a real shame. but yeah, reviews get better and better. sales are low, though, if you take into account that many of the owners are kickstarter backers.

Another bump for The Fidelio Incident. Take a look, it's really worth it (if you like these kinds of games).

So, tempted to get it. But I'm not buying games atm, will only win games now ;-;
Didn't get the chance to comment but wanted to thank you for the chance for the two giveaways you made for it <3

Hellenica
I recommend this to everyone because I adore it. It's a stratagem game which actually requires thinking out moves cause one singular mess up can fuck you over massively. The world is so interesting, based around the idea that the Ancient Greeks continued into the age of steam. If you aren't used to the style of game then you will probably get frustrated, but it's worth checking out
The Amber Throne
Beautifully drawn rpg with a really good take on the silent protag, as well as some subtly but still possibly foreseeable plot twists. The way an rpg should be, with enemies having weaknesses, and being able to vary what your characters focus on, whether as a support, or a main attacker
Corinne Cross's Dead & Breakfast
Wonderful rpg, emotional and beautifully made, so many routes, plus a new game plus makes replaying even better

Right, I heard a lot of good things about this one. Sad to hear it wasn't successful. Will add it to the list.

This one looks very interesting indeed. I might buy it soon. Sadly no discount during the sale. But it looks like it could be exactly the type of games I like.

The Fidelio Incident is currently on sale (-40%). Please consider buying it, if you like these kinds of games. It's really worth it. And they are desperate for sales. If we want to see more from this developer, we need to give him a little support. Because I doubt they can live from just 3k sold copies. So please have a look at the game. And if you like what you see, just go for it. You will have a good time.
Also, 2 public giveaways for The Fidelio Incident:
Level 5
Level 9
Ok, this is based on the idea of Khalaq (thanks for that!) and my last thread. I hope we can create a nice list of games that deserve to sell better than they are, or even are in dire need of support. Since the summer sale is on, it would be kind of stupid to limit this to full-priced games. ^^ So, let's just say we list games here that are so good, that they deserve to be bought, no matter the price.
Please feel free to contribute to this thread. If you know a game that clearly should get more attention than it does, please link to the store page. And if you want, write a few lines about it. So, what are other games that deserve our attention in your opinion?
EDIT: Ok, let's just make a list of games that are worth a look, and that deserve a few more sales. Browse through the list, you might see something that interests you. :)
forma.8
It seems to be a really good game, yet nobody buys it. I didn't even know the game existed, until I saw and won! yay!^^ a giveaway for it. And it looks so interesting. I am eager to play it, once I beat Sundered.
It has good reviews. Also a very good user score on Steam. Why the hell does this game fly that low under the radar? I think it deserves better. Maybe some of you will take a look now. :)
What Remains of Edith Finch
I think it deserves better than the 25,000 copies it sold before the sale. Yes, on sale at -25% it sold quite a few more copies. I still think a gem like that should sell better. And more people should experience it. We should give this developer the chance to create more games like this.
The Fidelio Incident (ON SALE RIGHT NOW 40%)
It sold only like 2,000 copies so far. Which is pretty ridiculous, if you ask me. It has such a good narrative. Fantastic actors (love that irish accent). Great atmosphere. More gameplay than your average walking sim. Nice graphics. Outstanding sound design. And a nice ending. It really deserves better than 2,000 copies... It's just 1 month old, but already at -34% suring summer sale. If you like story-driven games, I urge you to take a look at this one. It probably needs our help way more than Edith Finch.
Late Shift
This is an interactive movie. Not the Telltale kind, the real kind. It's an FMV game with relatively high production values. I would say it's almost TV show level. The actors are good for the most part. The story is nice, and the choices really matter. It even has 7 different endings. If you like FMV games, this is probably one of the best you can get today. 89% of the players on Steam seem so think so, too. I hope these guys make enough money to make another one of these. We already saw how bad things can go with Missing: An Interactive Thriller, which was discontinued due to low sales. I just hope Late Shift doesn't have to suffer the same fate.
Sundered
This game gets a lot of hate at the moment. Mostly for difficulty spikes, and for the parts of the world that are procedurally generated. And I understand the criticism. I understand it can be frustrating when you do well, and then suddenly there is such an amount of enemies that you feel you had no chance at all. Many people don't even like when games get too hard. So, these moments might turn those gamers off completely. on top of that, parts of the world are procedurally generated. The main sections are not, but the space in between is. And it's not done that good, to be honest. There are dead ends that make no sense from a level design standpoint. And you can sometimes see how they put a room together. There are moments when you realize you had almost the same exact room 5 minutes earlier, with the treasure in the same position. So, the game is not flawless... BUT! It still is so much fun! The art style is fantastic, the animations really good. The controls are tight. The level design may not be as good as in Ori, for instance. But that's not the end of the world. You still have great design in many areas, hard to reach treasures, secrets to discover - typical metroidvania stuff. And the difficulty spikes - well, i love them! ^^ I really like this system that spawns like 40 enemies all at once, and you have to try to survive. And no, it's not impossible. It's a matter of skill, of learning how the different enemy types behave, and of the perks you're running. I went for shield regeneration, which helps enormously against the hordes. It's always challenging, which is not necessarily the case in all metroidvania games. TL;DR: yes, the game has certain problems. That doesn't mean it's a bad game. I stopped playing Pyre for this. That has to mean something. ;)
CONTRIBUTIONS FROM OTHER MEMBERS (I added whatever description/text was there unedited):
Nex Machina
We need Housemarque stuff on PC.
The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker
There was that 1 game i wanted to plug , but i cannot remember its name .
You play a psychiatric or something like that , that is investigating a case .... its kinda like her story ...
Thing was , the more you talk with people , the higher the chance is for you to get insane ....
Thimbleweed Park
I've been trying to do my bit and spread the word about this game through a number of GAs, but I would seriously recommend this to anyone who enjoys point & click adventure games.
Sally's Law
One of my favorite indie game. Full price just $4, now on 70% sale. Please support them if you simply love your dad :)
Gran Vitreous
shoot 'em up meets looting and randomized modifiers : from not able to shoot and survive for 45seconds to unlimited secondary/ultimate ammo. IIRC iwas only one in a groupees bundle before release.
Starcrawlers
Shortest way to describe the game: Shadowrruners crawling ... IN SPACE(just without the story depth). Funded with kickstarter and recently got out of Early Access the game is quite fun to play though it has its downsides. It has a good class/build variety but later on combat turns into rotation of skills for most part(the combat is turn-based btw).
Lethe - Episode One
Shameless self-plug. An atmospheric first person adventure game with survival horror elements (and actual gameplay). 50% off!
We've had good reviews so far, and multiple players mentioning that we ought to get more attention. We're currently working on the next title, but with less than half of the previous (already small) team (due to low sales). It would be nice to know if there is still a desire for quality horror games.
Adding it to your wishlist or just visiting the page is welcomed as well.
(Though apparently most people are already waiting for it to become dirt cheap before they buy it. sob)
Bullet Heaven 2
Don't Open the Doors
This is a claymation action rpg that deserves more than the 3K~ it did. If you like claymation, you may also like the classic point and click The Neverhood (it's sadly abandonware at this point. You could vote for it on GOG if you'd like...)
Solitairica
Solitairica is my pick. Never thought a roguelike version of solitaire would be fun, but it really is.

Payroll
Cheap as hell with only 1,234 ± 984 owners. Yeah, it's sad to see. It's not like people even come across the store page, seeing as how my review is the most "helpful" recent review. It only has 4 votes.
Peregrin
Add Peregrin to your list please.
P.S. from me: This game looks amazing. And it sold only a few hundred copies. I didn't know it even existed, until robilar5500 posted it here. And I bet the same goes for most of you people as well. I might buy this one in the near future. Just have a look at the store page. You might like what you see there. Seems to be a real hidden gem. :)
