Fragile dreams is one of those games that I don't hear a lot about but I love it a lot. Found it randomly at my local Ebgames and fell in love with it. Any games that you happen to love that just aren't talked about enough or all that popular?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
My favorites for the unpopular are now quite old. I don't think I have any modern favorites that aren't popular but here's my list of games that were never popular and no one ever talks about that I still love to replay now and then.
Plenty, I generally love games, and pretty much buy whatever I feel like at a whim.
Some games I really enjoy that is never talked about, or seen in a half bad light (some wholly bad).
- Sin: Sin is not a game that got bad reviews, it was just the game unlucky enough to come out in the same timeframe as HL1. In alot of ways it is sad how Sin became forgotten, I really think it was an awesome game, and I were relatively sad when the new episodes did not take off like intended (well it was not all that great either tbh). I still reccomend it if people want to play a really old game, if nothing else then for the giggles.
- Blood 2: The first blood game, was fairly well recieved, Blood 2 was not, it was clunky, simplistic, but I still cared about it more then I likely should. It was a pure dumb FPS that existed only for running through levels blowing people away.
- Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi: A game randomly set up every playthrough, a timer, needing to save Family members in a huge haunted Castle. This game was one I really enjoyied, so much that I rebought it when it came onto Steam. It was rarely mentioned, and most people seemed to dislike the rather floaty nature of the game. But it ticked all the right boxes for me. It was a race against a maze, where you had to always explore, and keep munitions and Health. So it became this very strange balancing act. Tense and relaxing, slowpaced and frantic all at differing times. I would still reccomend this game, because it was so very Unique in its way. Pretty much the game version of a good B-movie.
- Shadow of the Ninja: A NES Classic (that has returned on the Wii U eshop). I loved this game as a child, but sadly it always stood in the shadow of Ninja Guiden, which always made its title rather amuzing. It is still a decent platformer, and the soundtrack has had a home on every MP3 player I have owened.
- The Guardian Legend: Ok this might be the big one, This is by far one of my favorite games when I was a child, It was also a fairly hard one, so it took me around 20 years to beat it :P I loved everything about the game, how it changed genres going through the overworld to missions, the music, the sound, the odd sense of isolation. I can still remember how this game would make me cry of frustration, but I still playied it way more then most NES games I owned. I wish this was on the Wii U e-shop, but sadly it looks like it is lost to most now. I still have my copy, and my old NES :) It was grossely overlooked back in the day, although it has gotten a cult following. The second only game which music I have on my mp3 player (Ironic that they are both chip tunes, I have no other game music).
- Dungeons 2: Ok the humor helps here, it is right up my alley. Childish, crude and 4th wall breaking. But it really is a very relaxing game and one I enjoy immensely atm. I think the overall reviews might have been less then flattering.
Unpopular / not well rated games I like:
1. The Crew
2. Motorstorm: Apocalypse
3. Battletanx: Global Assault
4. Starhawk
5. Sleeping Dogs
6. Resistance 3
7. X-Men: The Official Game
Yeah, Fragile Dreams is pretty legit.
I'd say something like Munchables or Little King's Story. The former is probably the most underrated game on the Wii considering no one knows about it. LKS at least has somewhat of a following.
Bionicle Matoran Adventures is the only one that I can think would truly be passed up by most people although it is pretty dope.

I had the talking CD version but there weren't too many adventure games out there that I liked where the puzzles at least made some sense. There has been a lot of good adventure games over the years but the *use the wooden spoon with the baseball cap attached to necklace to open the door nonsense puzzles or the click on this specific pixel but only after you do this or that first* always really ticked me off.
1. Deadly Premonition
2. Star Wars Masters of Teras Kasi
3. The Lone Survivor
4. Cry of Fear
I like pretty much any obscure horror games on Steam really.
@pimphand_gamer: yeah for a sierra game the puzzles in willy beamish were much less cryptic than in some of their other games. the early lucasarts point and click adventures were excellent in that regard too. they managed to get the balance between making the puzzles challenging without making the solutions obscure / overly cryptic just right
