Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

SOMA. It's imo one of the best games ever made. Everyone that played it calls it a masterpiece, yet almost no one seems to have played it.

It did make a big splash in the Linux Gaming community when it came out. They had a native port that ran very well.

Personally, I can say that its one of my favorite horror / sci-fi games to date. The ending destroyed me.

Came to make this comment. SOMA is the only game I've ever played that made me cry. Beautiful piece of art.

I watched a playthrough of it 6+ years ago and I STILL think about the story/ending from time to time. it's so damn good

Frictional's games in general seem to be way less popular than I perceived as a kid. Like, tubers like PewDiePie were all over Amnesia back in the day, but somehow Amnesia Rebirth and Amnesia: The Bunker have both launched without making any sort of real splash in the gaming community.

It's sad, I feel like they could be where Bloober Team is right now, making games based on properties like Blair Witch and Silent Hill along with their original stuff, but for some reason they're not.

Comments like this make me want to revisit it, but I've tried playing it 3 times now and never get that far in. I'm not sure what's not clicking for me.
