I’ve been recently been thinking about Arkane Studio’s Prey which is a immersive sim, with a pretty good rogue like dlc, that probably has one of the strongest hooks of any game I’ve played. If you liked Halflife, System Shock, or Deus Ex it’s definitely worth a play.
Are there any titles that might not have been commercially successful that you feel everyone should give a shot?
For me right now, Shadows of Doubt. It is an early access game and it’s got a fair bit of jank, but it’s crazy how unique it is. It had a week or so of popularity and then it fell off. The devs just released an update for it too!
If you like the immersive sim genre, might I also recommend Cruelty Squad and Gloomwood. Those two have very unique aesthetics and really cool mechanics.
I doubt that. (Get it? Shadows of doubt? I’ll see myself out.)
It’s so great. One time, I threw a bin at a bar’s window and the next time I came around, it had been covered in plywood.
The game feels responsive, it just needs a bit more variety in cases, mod support would be great, too.
Just started on SoD today. Pretty wild how free form it is. Fantastic.
