Hello Lemmings!

I've recently finished the whole Xenosaga series and was impressed by it. Even more than by FF 16 (which was... cutscenes and a few good boss fights). This got me thinking: what else are old games that don't get enough recognition? I'm not talking about the Oceanhorns (which was boring tbh) or Hollow Knifhts, which everyone knows about. More like hidden gems you picked up "because" and liked it. In my case this was Blue Fire, a platformer that mixes Celeste's movement and 3D space. Other games I really enjoyed were

Valiant Hearts (WWI point and click)

Light Matter (3D puzzle game)

Cloudbuilt (a fast mirrors edge)

I'm more than happy to read some of your recommendations!

Some games that have stuck with me over the years. Not quite masterpieces but in my opinion are great games that don't get enough recognition.

Devil Dice, puzzle game for the PS1.
Hotel Dusk Room 215, adventure game for the Nintendo DS.
Red Steel & Red Steel 2, Wii games that used the motion controls. RS2 was especially fun and absolutely nailed the controls with the motion+ upgrade.

I played Red Steel for the first time recently, it was not good. I can see how the motion controls would have been really cool as a lot of people's first ever experience of them, but yeah, it hadn't aged well!

I haven't played the first game for a long long time so I might be off on that one but RS2 was everything the Wii was supposed to be.
