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.

I forgot 🤷🏻‍♂️

My favorite DOS era games that tend to go under the radar were The Settlers 2 and Crusader: No Remorse. Though, The Settlers keeps getting new entries, Crusader only ever had the two (no remorse and no regret), afaik.

It would be dope if someone just remade the first two games, even re-making the cutscenes (but only if they go hard on it like the og).
