I’ve been recently been thinking about Arkane Studio’s Prey which is a immersive sim, with a pretty good rogue like dlc, that probably has one of the strongest hooks of any game I’ve played. If you liked Halflife, System Shock, or Deus Ex it’s definitely worth a play.

Are there any titles that might not have been commercially successful that you feel everyone should give a shot?

Jazzpunk, everyone should play Jazzpunk.

Far: Lone Sails is a beautiful art piece with unusual gameplay, and the sequel is great too.

Bedlam is kind of a love-letter to 90s and 00s FPS games. The gameplay isn’t amazing, but if you spent a lot of time in games like Quake, Unreal Tournament or Halo CE back in the early days of online multiplayer, this game is for you.

Kairo is weird.

Sable is an interesting adventure with a really nice art style.

Interplanetary is an excellent strategy game about firing weapons at other planets.

Neon Drive is a fun rhythm game with 80s aesthetics.

Bastion is well worth your time.

Love Bedlam! Picked it up on some dirt cheap sale a while ago and was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was.

Bastion was huge when it came out. It definitely got forgotten after a couple years though.

I still have it on several devices, like the old iPhone, an iPad and a PS Vita, I haven’t got to play it yet :(

No, they’re right. Everyone was talking about it when it came out. It’s also the first Supergiant Games game and really put them on the map.
