Sacrifice by Shiny.
I still think it is one of the absolutely best games I ever played. Totally unique gameplay, story and overall feel. The world really sucked me in for a long time.
I think didn't get the love it deserved at all. I would be so excited if it ever got remade or a sequel but it seems unlikely.
Monday Night Combat/Super Monday Night Combat. Absolutely loved that game, and a lot of the FPS I play is to fill that hole
Digital Devil Saga on PS2. It's a favorite, easily outshines other SMT games in narrative, character development, and plot twists.
Yet I bring it up at a wedding reception and I'm the weirdo. Pfft.
Fantastic pair of games. I tried to share it with folks in the days before the Persona series really took off. Also great music ( the final dungeon's music progression in the first game is still firmly embedded in my memory )
There used to be a game I found when shareware was still a thing. It was called Harry the Handsome Executive. You basically scoot around on a chair in an office throwing pencils and avoiding traps, it was cute
I miss the savage series. Probably no chance of those coming back though.
I really loved rocket slime as well. There's a spiritual successor called connectank on steam that gives me the same vibes, and has fun co-op!
Just for your information, there are actually two other games related to Rocket Slime. Unfortunately they are JP only. The one that release outside of Japan is the 2nd game. There's a GBA game that came out before it and a sequel to the DS game focused on pirate ships
Kenka Bancho. It's a series of japanese games for the PSP, with only the 3rd game being officially translated and released outside Japan as Kenka Bancho Badass Rumble. It's like playing a typical shonen anime set in high school, you're a delinquent who fights everyone from the other schools in order to become the ultimate badass. It's semi open world and you can beat pedestrians and innocent civilians, which reduce your badass meter, because real badasses only fight people who can fight back! And with their bare hands, weapons are for weak pussies! It's over the top and fun as hell. I've only ever met one other person mention that game, and it was an RPG friend of mine, when he bought a PSP for himself.
Something I highly recommend for anyone that enjoyed River City Ransom or similar beat'em ups.
May be a little off from what you're asking but one of my favorite games period is Bookworm on the GBA. It was originally a flash game but when it came to GBA you could save your progress. The music was so cute and the sound effects were just awesome. They tried to bring it to the DS without that music and the effects and it just didn't work. Other iterations exist as well, none as cool and enjoyable as the GBA version. I'm stuck emulating until someone rediscovers this neat little game and brings it to switch or steamdeck.
Jade Cocoon - Story of the Tamamayu
My first jrpg ever on the ps1, monster tamer and merger, with magic spells and elements, various npcs and a really intriguing story and landscapes. I absolutely fell in love with this game and I am still waiting on a spiritual or direct successor like Digimon World got one.
I remember playing the demo of it over and over again but I never saw the full game for sale anywhere so didn't get to play properly. The monster merging thing was awesome and I remember the flutey music being awesome.
Same! I played the Demo, and only the Demo, countles times and loved it. The Monster merging was such a cool idea.
I humbly submit for your approval Yuppie Psycho, a fantastic Steam horror adventure about a kid's first day in a truly nightmarish company. It's got a unique style, and genuinely unnerved me in places. Really creative work, and it deserves so much more attention.
