stepee Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Recent game that is absolutely a hidden gem: Underhero. It’s a damn shame hardly anybody is talking about this game, it’s going to be in my top 5 this year probably and it only has like 3 reviews or something on metacritic. It has great art, a really fun and interesting story, it’s funny, and it’s the best paper mario game since thousands year door. Check it out!

crispy4000 Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 It’s been on my wishlist for a while. Sounds like a perfect illustration that good indies can still get overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Here's one from me. Simple, but effective at what is does and is a blast on the whole. All the level design is all oriented vertically, which was a neat touch.

Bloodporne Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Off the top of my head, just games I thought were fantastic in their own right but had rough edges that kept them from really going anywhere: Prey Hotline Miami 2 Zombi The Evil Within The Surge Those were all highly memorable to me, warts and all. Hotline Miami 2 and Zombi especially were so much better than I expected based on their reception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Wait if WiiU counts does that include 3ds & vita? If so I can make you some list Ps4; probably gonna say tearaway because I don’t think many tired the PS4 version. I’d also add hot shots golf and gravity rush 1 & 2.

Deadly Tower of Monsters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGEn5ZkwlcA Thanks for the recommendation, that looks awesome and I've never heard of it. On sale for $4.49 on PS4 at the moment so I'm going to grab it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically the joke should be any vita game is a hidden gem since nobody played it. :P Realistically a few imo (and some of these are on ps4 and were skipped): Tearaway (Vita version is somewhat different then the ps4 version and was skipped over by many) Gravity Rush (but i think everybody knows about this now) Grand Kingdom (The spiritual sequel to Grand Knights History that most never played due to it being stuck in japan) Lost Dimension (Pretty good SRPG that took hints from Valkyria Chronicles) Toukiden & Lord of Apocalypse (I know these were mostly skipped over as meh monster hunter clones but both were much better than given credit for) Natural Doctrine (Good SRPG) Summon Night 6 Any of the Yomawari games (Yomawari: Night Alone or Yomawari: Midnight Shadows, both are on switch) Just a few that aren't the more well known titles but I could question how many really gave games like Unit13 a shot. =/ -edit- For WiiU the only hidden gem left is Pikmin 3 since everything else good has been ported or is Mario 3D World. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also has a sequel but they went open world with it that kind of changes a lot about the game. Lord of Apocalypse is only PSP & Vita, it was an early launch title that came out on both.

TwinIon Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I haven't been a very prolific gamer this generation, but Lone Echo on Oculus is one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time. HL:A is a better made game in nearly every way, but the locomotion in Lone Echo made it really special and engrossing in a way unlike any other game ever. Playing through Alyx I was constantly aware of my IRL physical space, because I always wanted to take one more IRL step than I could. With Lone Echo, I could move freely about without encountering my IRL limits at all, unless I became tangled in the cord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way I'd play it on the PS4 but from what I understand if you play the second one there's really no reason to play the first. Also, they're both $60 for some reason.
