I wouldn't say it's unpopular because it's not well known enough for that, but the game Axis Football 15 is a total mess and yet I still enjoy playing it. It's glitchy, players get caught on each other, the AI is completely brain dead, and the teams are absurdly unbalanced, but it's a football game and it's modifiable enough to allow tons of hilarious stuff. I'm not sure I'll ever get tired of playing it in short bursts.
E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy usually gets a bad rap from people, but it's really quite good once you get over the initial learning curve. A cult classic if anything. Maybe the opinion has changed since the last time I checked.
Gnomoria. In the beginning the ratings were good but that has changed. I still like it.
Edit: Just checked the store page again and the ratings are back to positive. The top rated comments are still negative though.
Steam ratings are so fickle.. people dislike the slightest thing or something the company (not game) is doing and give a negative review. I wish they had a better system than simple thumbs "up" or "down".
ahahaha shrug fly around, scan planets, shoot shit, make choices, craft stuff, read novellas, and most of all enjoy the visuals. yup, agree to disagree; Football Manager (which looks incredibly boring to me) seems a good opposite to it ;)
Right on. I know FM isn't for everybody. Games are supposed to be fun! That's why I asked the question, to prove to everyone who read some of these comments that all the fighting over which game is "better" than another one is a waste of time. If it's fun, play it. If not, don't!
Excellent and thorough review. I voted you up for sure. One of the problems with reviews for games that are unpopular with the gaming media or have release issues (understatement in this case), is that the reviews tend to be based on hearsay not actual playing time. Thanks for taking the time and writing a proper review.
KINGDOMS. Its still pretty early in development, but it seems like the devs have a lot of heart. You can tell they're new, and updates take a while. But I'm there for the game concept at the very least. I hope it makes it to a full game, but for 10$ I don't feel like I lost much if it doesn't get any further.
lol I avoid the majority of them like the plague, but I've gotten lucky with a few (Don't Starve, Starbound, and Long Dark), so I decide to risk it again. I'm betting this is my fail, but I keep crossing my fingers :D
Perhaps this game is not popular at the moment but a few years back it was VERY popular (7k+ Reviews, 12k+ peak users) I am glad you enjoy it as much as the majority of users did!
I'll say HuniePop despite the fact I'm the opposite target of the game and really don't care about all the "plot" thing, I liked it a lot, very addictive gameplay and really fun.
I don't know if other gamers didn't like it or just overlooked it, but Bionic Dues is an amazing roguelike hiding in a turn-based stompy mech game. Thanks for the giveaway!
I don't really know which games are popular and which are not, but I can say I liked Battlepath (I got it for free and never thought I will like it that much).
Two Worlds. The first one. I like it a lot more than the second one, which is considered to be the better one.

It certainly is! I like Cookie Clicker when I'm bored.. very, very bored.

Horror suspense? It's an action RPG. Think Deus Ex.

I think you misunderstood the question. This game IS popular and has 96%+ positive reviews.
Comment has been collapsed.
I understood, but the thing is, I'm not usually fond of games disliked by their players. :-)
So I chose CW3 as a niche game -- well-received among those few who play it, but not popular among general populace. :-)

I bought into Prison Architect and I was so lucky... I think it's one of my top 5 played Steam games.

I purchased this game back on 11-27-2014, never played it. Never heard anything about it.
Yet, right now...I've dropped all games to continue playing it.

Always good to enjoy a game you didn't think you would! I won a few games here that ended up being quite good despite their relative obscurity.

mmm I checked some games only to find out other people like them too... I guess I only play good games then! :)

That's fair! Try some 'new' or indie games to be on the frontier of deciding what's 'good' and 'bad'!
Comment has been collapsed.
I mostly play what I win here and those games aren't always brand new... which I don't mind at all, but it limits my abilities as a trendsetter :)
