We all play the same games most of the time. From the classic FPS grandfather's to the Point 'n Click adventures that never really got any traction past the 90s.

What are your favorite hidden gems? Games that few people know, but should know?

I'll start. Ascendency. A strategy space game where you pick an alien race, and try to take over, or befriend, the entire universe. Getting spaceships, going to planets, building bases and diplomacy. The time can be sped up, but do it at your own risk, because the AI does not wait.

Ah darn, I didn't think about that heh. I genuinely can't recall much about the adventure game, just that it had a city environment (at least for part of it) and cartoonish graphics. I'm pretty sure it was just some low-budget kids' game but I'd love to revisit it sometime and unlock memories I've forgotten haha
