[Steam] Which lesser known games have you bought or are planning to buy in this sale?

I think I’ll be finally picking up Project Wingman and Black Mesa in this sale.

What’s on your list?

I don’t see people mention Cross Codes often and no one has mentioned here yet so I think it’s “lesser known”.

It’s one of the games I got. I’m 20 hours in and the game is amazing so far.

The game can be pretty challenging sometimes so I’m not sure if it’s for everyone. I’d describe the game as a MMORPG but without the MMO. It has a lot less grinding than a MMO and a lot more puzzles.

I saw some people compare it to Zelda but I feel like that’s only accurate for some aspects.

Cross code won awards and was featured several times on Linus Tech tips. IDK how lesser known it could be then. It did come out a while ago. I agree that the game is good, but it is one of the few games I quit because of performance issues.

Oh wow. I only learned of the game this year so I might just be living under a rock. I don’t watch LTT often, do they do game reviews now?

They don’t do gaming reviews, but Crosscode was always that game Linus tested on those handheld consoles up until and including the Steam Deck. I remember him playing it to test latency and stuff on displays and stuff.

In a similar vein i would add Unsighted to this list.

Superflight is 59¢, I cannot stop playing this shit

ooo same folk that made thronefall.

thanks for the tip, def gonna pick this one up

Came here to say Superflight and Whisker Squadron: Survivor.

I love that game, great for a short or long chill session.

Cool game! Thanks for namedropping it here

Oh one game I forgot to include is Ghost Trick. It’s so lesser known I forgot about it.

This game is amazing. It’s by the creators of Phoenix Wright and it was originally made for the DS back in 2010. It was a commercial failure because Capcom didn’t advertise it at all and since it’s released it’s been pretty obscure. It was only ported to PC this year.

I think this is a game you should go in blind. I highly recommend this game.

funnily enough I first found out about this game and started playing it literally days before the announcement of the remaster. I’ll stick with the DS version when I continue it cause I prefer the stylus for this kind of game but I’m very glad others will get to enjoy this game regardless of their ownership of a DS.

I think this one is also pretty well known as a beloved cult classic lol

Obra Dinn is one of my favorites of all time.

Never heard of it. Is it a story heavy game? My Steam account says it’s similar to Hollow Knight and Ace Attorney, which seems like two completely different games.

I suppose you could say it’s story heavy since what you’re doing is piecing together what happened on the ship. The story is that you’re a insurance investigator and have to find out what happened to every person that was on the Obra Dinn. It’s a great game. If it matters, it’s a Lucas Pope game, the guy who made Papers Please.

I don’t think there are any games that are similar to Obra Dinn, it’s very unique.

Dude, that last guy. It was such tricky thing

I just started it yesterday- got my first 9 completed!

I see Obra Dinn, I upvote. What an amazing game.

I’d call it the best detective game if it wasn’t for the shadow of the doubt

Hypnospace is SOOOOO GOOOOD if you grew up in the 90s on the internet.

Just bought, want to try

I picked up En Garde recently because I absolutely adore the tone, setting and swashbuckling duelist vibe.

It’s a little flat for me, I don’t feel like it has achieved the character fantasy of being a swashbuckler in the mechanics, instead I’m basically kicking boxes into people and stabbing them again and again.

It’s really hard at the beginning

I’m not a fan of the bleakness of souls games but maybe I’d like En Garde better, it looks like a lot of fun

I wouldn’t call it a soulslike really. Beyond being an over the shoulder melee game, it’s more of a classic PS2 era adventure game.
