Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare
It’s a shame that it doesn’t seem to have that many players anymore. It’s a lot like other multi-class shooter games like Overwatch and Paladins, but about three times more crazy and weird, and I had a ton of fun playing it as a teen.
I’ve heard Garden Warfare 2 is pretty good too though, so I’ll consider buying it at some point (when I have money).
I absolutely loved PVZGW. I have great memories of playing it.
kenshi is the post-apocalyptic life/ant sim that I never knew I wanted. There is no story other than what is in your head, and that’s beautiful.

It was one of the first PC games I played as a kid. Incredibly simple mechanics: you are a marble and you roll and try to reach the finish line (sometimes you need collectibles first). But the level design was top notch. Perfect blend of challenging and rewarding.
Not forgotten or obscure but… Assassin’s creed 3. Yeah the main character sucks but I love the missions and map. Also has just the right amount of pirate like missions (in 4 is too much). I don’t understand why people loved 4 so much the story of that game sucks lol and the villains are so forgettable.
4 had a lot of issues, bad story, trailing missions and a lot of pacing problems. But it’s the best pirate game ever made. And the ship combat was great
Like I said, too much piracy, you’re not even an assassin’s anymore… Also funny how there’s so much praise online for that game yet NOBODY mentioned the villains. They’re so forgettable. In the other games, even the bad ones I can remember a face or names, 3 had some of the best actually. 4 is just a blank space.
The main character is pale in comparison to Ezio, but I don’t see how he suck.
He gets bitch talked the whole game and he lost at the end anyways lol… Doesn’t make for a very enjoyable character. I really like how physically blunt and badass is though.
Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits Such a good game with some unique gameplay as far as tbs and rpgs go
Don’t know quite how underrated/forgotten this is, but I wanna see a remake of Vib-Ribbon. That, or have an open source clone of it made by someone who actually knows how to properly program (not me), if it already doesn’t exist.
Technically there is a successor to Vib-Ribbon but it’s iPhone only if I recall? “Russian Dancing Men”.
Retro/Grade is a rhythm/shooter mashup where you travel backwards through time and un-fire a bunch of lasers to un-kill a bunch of ships. It was designed for a guitar hero controller if I recall? I found the visuals nauseating and the music lackluster but that premise is gold and deserves another chance.
Also PLEASE play the music backwards??? It’s a game about going back in time, c’monnnnn.
Underrated:
- Scarlet Nexus
- Wii U Gameland
- Colobot
Deserves a Second Chance:
- Atomega (Died because ubisoft didn’t update it)
- Biomutant, Lots and lots of dialogue but I actually liked it
Sacrifice
Yoku’s Island Express. Before playing it, I didn’t like pinball or search-action games (metroidvanias). I ended up loving it. I still don’t really enjoy pinball on its own, but I now have a deep love for search-action.
It’s definitely the best pinball-metroidvania postal service simulator available.
Sexy Parodius is a bit sketchy, yes. But, it’s easily the most-fun shmup I’ve ever played. The music is fantastic, too. I’ve managed to 1cc the game, but I’ve never beaten the bonus stage which is just so ridiculously difficult, I question whether it’s even possible without a very specific strategy or something.
Unfortunately, the best version is the arcade one, and MAME doesn’t do the best job with it. Still playable, though.
Blur
Rock Manager. It was very limited in scope and quite short, but it was a really fun game with tons of potential.
I’ve been unsuccessfully looking for games like it that are as good as it could have been or even as good as it was for over 20 years now.
I want a modern Road Rash or Destruction Derby.
Road Redemption was a Road Rash-esque attempt some years ago. I remember the performance was kinda shitty, but the game was mostly fine.
