  • Old and hidden games that deserve more love

Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages, story that get better as you play, insane amount of ship/play style customization.

Masquerada: Songs and Shadows, good lore and excellent world building, "easy" and forgiving crpg.

Wirewalk()↳, a short and loving gameboy like rpg, less than 100 reviews.

  • Well known

Mass Effectâ„¢ Legendary Edition, no comments need, new historic low

Psychonauts 2, good game although it's "cheaper" on gamepass.

The storyline and level design on those games is amazing. They were a ton of fun the first time through and I find myself picking them up again every few years and I still enjoy them.

Agreed! I love how different you can play each level as well. Although I generally end up murdering everyone after I mistakenly alert a guard ...

It's also one of only a few games I spent the time to read all the fun "flavor text" notes and books. That and "Control" - both have solid extras that actually add to the story and make you feel immersed in the world.

Hah, I also failed many times and alerted the guards and ended up having to kill everyone. Getting through some of the levels while maintaining stealth can be really tricky.

I still need to check out Control. I agree that the readings in Dishonored were pretty interesting.
