We've all seen threads discussing popular games, so I wanted to create one where we could share our favourite underrated/lesser-known games, even if they're somewhat old. I'm sure I've forgotten quite a few, but here's my list, in no particular order:
1. Impossible Creatures - Possibly one of my favourite games ever. Collecting creature DNA, combining them, and creating armies to defeat your enemies who have super creatures of their own. Man, I love this game. I've replayed the campaign at least 4-5 times since 2005, and I've enjoyed it every time as if it were my first playthrough.
2. Tony Hawk's Underground 2 (THUG 2)/Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (THAW) - I started out playing the story mode of THAW and was hooked. I later discovered the online mode, and it introduced me to a wonderful community and a new way of playing. Even after the official servers shut down, 2-3 people who liked playing maintained unofficial servers and later modded THUG 2 to add new maps and features. It was a community of maybe a 100 or so people where we had a forum, chilled online, had clans, and organised tournaments. I even found the old channel where I used to upload some videos - https://www.youtube.com/@EnigmaTHPS/videos
3. TimeSplitters: Future Perfect (PS2) - I liked the campaign, but the best part was the late nights spent playing arcade mode in local co-op until the sun came up.
3. Steamworld Dig 1/2 - I was drawn into this game due to my memories of the flash game "Motherload". I enjoyed every bit of it, and it also introduced me to the Steamworld series. I also wanted to mention Steamworld Heist. I haven't played the second part, but the first one was great.
4. Worms Armageddon - The planning, the outrageous kills, and the hilarity.
5. The Matrix: Path of Neo - This is pure nostalgia. I used to love the combat.
6. Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project - Jumping across skyscrapers and subways, blasting enemies into oblivion while rescuing babes lol. Need I say more?
7. Bulletstorm - This was such an unconventional yet fun game. The environmental and slow-mo kills were cool.
