Ok, not so much as hidden, but also not super known:
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. A tactical stealth game (think commandos saga back in the day) is 90%
Technobabylon. A pixelated point & click adventure with some cyberpunk themes at 70%
Return of the Obra Dinn. Probably the best detective/deduction game that I've played, at 40%
Prey. One of the best immersive sims, at 75%
The Case of the Golden Idol. Is not as good as Obra Dinn in my opinion, but it's super good none the less, at 30%
Antichamber. Super good puzzle game, at 75%
The Age of Decadence. Ultra hardcore RPG set in ancient Rome, 60%
Tametsi. Is like minesweeper but good, 67% (and only 0.77€)
Seconding Return of the Obra Dinn and The Case of the Golden Idol - agree with both your thoughts. Both are also fun to play with someone else watching and helping, my wife keeps asking me for more games like these!
Obra Dinn was a really good game. I was initially put off by the art style before playing it, but once you start it's great
And the sound design is brilliant. Truly a masterpiece.
It's wild how many people seem to have slept on Prey. It's an amazing game.
Also +1 on Antichamber. Portal-like but with some very unusual and fun mechanics.
Absolute gem of a game, shame Bethesda forced them to use the Prey branding; a lot of fans of the original wrote it off because it has nothing to do with the original. One can't help but wonder if we would've had such a disaster as Redfall if Colantonio hadn't left as a result of all that.
Underrated even among Prey fans is Mooncrash, easily the best roguelite experience from a AAA studio, and just a great experience all around for anyone who wants 'more Prey'.
I slept on Prey so so long because I was pissed at Pete Hines for basically cancelling Prey 2 (the OG) when the rumors are it was practically finished
Then I saw it dirt cheap on Steam and got it and my god it was the System Shock game that I wanted. Couldn't stop playing it until I beat it. Sad we'll never get a sequel
Prey is also currently available for free with Twitch Prime
Didn't knew it, thanks!
If you like Technobabylon, all the Wadget Eye games are on sale and they're really good point and click/story games. Gemini Rue is another cyberpunk detective game, Primordia is an outstanding and atmospheric alien story, and Unavowed is one of the best point and clicks in recent years. All of them are 70% off.
Have just bought Shadow Tactics and Tametsi based on this. I used to love Commandos (and even better - Desperados).
The same devs have also desperados 3, and it's also super good (it's on gamepass also if I recall correctly). It's at 50% now: Desperados III
And they have a pretty cool looking pirate themed game coming up: Shadow Gambit https://youtu.be/QLFGxiRq3ZM
