Hey, all! I've been playing a couple of games recently that don't have a lot of recognition, or aren't as widely known as a lot of their competitors. Which is such a sad thing to think about, because I believe some of them are phenomenal pieces of art! So I got curious, what games do you know about that you think are underrated? They can be works of art, or just a game you like that doesn't have much of the spotlight. Or even anything in between!
For me, I was recently exploring the Steam store and stumbled upon a game called Gris; I had my eye on it a couple of years ago but it slipped my mind after a while. I decided to play it, and OH MY GOD it is SO beautiful and rich. It's a good four hours of gameplay with a compelling story open to interpretation, exploring the five stages of grief in such an artsy way~ I'm in LOVE with it. I think it definitely needs a lot more recognition!
An honorable mention that I'm going to throw in is Just Dance. It's my all-time favorite video game and I know it's not a lot of people's favorite, but it was always so compelling to me because I love to move. And now it has lore? Hello?! The story didn't make much sense at first but then I fell through the rabbit hole and fell in love with it.
Edit: I've bolded the game titles, but also found one other game that I feel doesn't have lots of traction. It's called Eastshade, it's a quest-driven game that focuses on painting instead of combat. As a person who leans strongly towards cozy games over anything else, I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the game and all the beautiful areas it had to offer. The NPCs are all animal people and do look slightly uncanny but I'd say it's alright to let it slide for everything else the game offers! Would highly recommend.
