Hey all. Always enjoyed reading everyone's suggestions on more unknown games available during big steam sales.

I'll start off with one that I have been a fan of for a long time: Death Road to Canada

This game is like a zombie action Oregon Trail like game, where you manage supplies and fight through hordes of zombies on your way to the safe haven of Canada. Only US$3.74 right now and well worth it imo!

Dude, you were quick to forget about the reddit threads of "hidden gems", where the top voted answers were Skyrim, Witcher 3 and RDR2.

This is a gold mine in comparison...

There's this sweet rarely known game where you punch trees and build stuff but you've probably never heard of it

IIRC, you punch the trees down in Raft, too. I think it was Raft....

[–] Pixelologist 1 points 1 year ago

Damn, I didn't even know that. We're still in the early game, I made a axe like a plebian

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Christ, I think I actually got triggered by this comment because of some old friend who used to simp so hard for that game, despite it being horribly buggy.

[–] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I didn't think anyone else ever heard of Witcher 3!!!!

I really hoped we’d leave this cynical garbage on Reddit. The top comments in this post are mostly listing hidden gems.

[–] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you guys heard of SKYRIM?

[–] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Go away, Todd!

[–] TheLongPrice@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

Needs more celeste

[–] chloyster 4 points 1 year ago

Haha there's quite a few that aren't but I haven't heard of a ton of these!

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My recommendation is Celeste and Hollow Knight

[–] Pixelologist 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Such underground classics!

wait I actually love those games, carry on.

It's strange to think about how the overwhelming majority of video game players have never played the greatest indie games. I can tell when a game is a passion project made with love vs a shitty game at a shitty job with a deadline so call of duty 29 comes out on time.

I don't mean to degrade people who enjoy those games, but to ignore indie games is missing out on so much.

It's hidden gems OR recommendations. People are recommending what they like without saying they're "hidden gems" and there are plenty actually recommending smaller games.

Yeah I was really excited to look into this thread and then I see:

My favorite hidden gems!:

  • Skyrim
  • Witcher 3
  • Halo master chief collection
  • ...
