General Gaming 15 Best Obscure Video Games from 2018

[skillzdadirecta]

Solid List... I've only heard of a couple of these and only played like one or two. There's a couple I will check out though.

I remember reading about Kenshi when it came out. It sounds fascinating, but I highly doubt I would actually enjoy playing it. I want someone here to play it and tell me about their journey.

From a comment on YouTube:

 

15. Hunt Showdown
14. Book of Demons
13. Maelstrom
12. Tower of Time
11. Lethal League Blaze
10. Bendy and the Ink Machine
9. Kenshi
8. The Red Strings Club
7. Graveyard Keeper
6. Parkitect
5. Cross Code
4.Onrush
3. Moonlighter
2.Wreckfest
1. Vampyr

 

Hunt Showdown and Parkitect are the only one's I'd heard of.

 

I bought Parkitect on a whim last weekend and it's a fine little game. It's extremely reminiscent of the RCT games, and does a pretty good job of invoking the same feeling. It's possible to really landscape the hell out of your parks, to the point that it's a little intimidating, even though it's purely optional. I haven't really been drawn in, but I'm not sure it's entirely the games' fault.

Return of the Obra Dinn should be #1

You never heard of Vampyr? There was a thread on these boards about it 

[Xbob42]

I knew about all of these. Guess that makes me a hipster.

[Brian]

The Hex should be on that list. 

[Nokt]

Book of Demons was in early access for a couple of years right?

Its the retelling of Diablo just in a different format and not Diablo.

[Keyser_Soze]

I've heard of 7 of them just by the name.

 

No Smoke and Sacrifice, list is fail.

[EternallDarkness]

If you took a drink every time the guy said the word different you'd be hammered out of your mind

[ShreddieMercury]

Did anybody play Vampyr?  It wasn't well received, but it seems to have found an audience and become something of a cult hit. 

[Dre801]

 Onrush looked fun, but never got around to getting it.

 

Vampyr has great atmosphere.  I remember watching some guy do a  playthrough.  Looked like a solid 7/10 game.

But do you have a beard and ride your scooter to the patio bar to drink IPA's while sitting in your skinny jeans listening to Irish Gay Folk Metal and pretending to do important stuff on your Mac Book? Cuz if not the entire city of Austin says "psh."
