And what specifically makes it special, appealing, or interesting to you?

Giants: Citizen Kabuto

It was a kinda janky 3D Action Adventure from around 2000. Back then it had really beautiful and colorful graphics. I remember playing it on my first "real" PC and being amazed by how it looked.

It also stands out to me for being actually funny and comitting to being a comedy game.

I loved this game! The humour was my favourite part - very dry and very British. A fun shooter with a lot of variety. Amazing soundtrack by Jeremy Soule. I found the game very difficult, though - I doubt I ever got close to finishing it. How about you?

You two + the screenshots on the steam page I just looked up have sold me on this. It looks, at the very least, interesting and different, which is sometimes all I want really. I'll give it a shot.

There's also a spiritual successor made by the same people (more or less), Armed & Dangerous.

Good luck. Let us know if it still holds up today.

When I first played it I didn't get very far into it. But I came back to it a few years later and finished it. The Multiplayer was also suprisingly fun on LAN-parties.

Nobody can hate that game. Damn that was gold. I believe it's well beloved, tho not widely remembered
