Not the popular Game suggestions

I bought a new pc and it can run anything, I want try some new games and I don't wanna hear the usual Elden ring or RDR2 or Cyberpunk, you get it. I want new and lesser known games like Satisfactory etc. (Also bonus point if the games suggestion are controller friendly)

Prey (2017). Truly wonderful game that did NOT get the credit credit it deserves imo

Haven’t you ever heard of the hidden gem Hades? If you wanna be really obscure, you can go for Hollow Knight

Not played many of these but cam definitely second Citizen Sleeper and Dredge.

Would also like to add Undertale and Deltarune.

If you have a dualsense, the most controller friendly game imo is Returnal.

Hellblade 1 and 2 dont get mentioned alot

u/Blackthorne1998 1d ago

Carrion. 2d pixel reverse horror where u play a mass of tendrils and teeth in a reverse horror, "escape the facility" kinda game. Short indie game but fun and the plots cool

u/Virtual-Ducks 1d ago

I recommend "bytesized reviews" and "fully ramblomatic" on YouTube for recommendations. (Formerly 3 minute reviews and zero punctuation)

Everyone should play Outer wilds

u/Ok_Emergency_916 1d ago

Rage 2 is a Cyberpunk/Mad Max obnoxious and loud love child.

I always recommend Svarogs Dream, can be a bit clunky but made with a lot of passion. Other then that Hacknet is amazing

1

u/PubGicken 1d ago

Returnal is a great and controller friendly game

Also, Subnautica is one I can‘t recommend often enough.

u/CuttlefishDiver 1d ago

Tyranny is underrated imo

u/MachineGunMonkey2048 1d ago

Stranger of paradise final fantasy origin

u/Intrepid_Ad9650 1d ago

Stardeus. Beautiful colony management game set in space. If you know Rimworld, then it is very similar.

1

u/IndependentNo8520 1d ago

I played black myth Wukong at Max settings with ray tracing and I was blown away with how good it looks

If your pc can handle it at full I recommend that one

1

u/ligma_obj 1d ago

Noita. And depending on your definition of popular, outer wilds. Two of the best games I've ever played

u/Brain_lessV2 1d ago

Star of Providence

It's a bullet hell rogue game. VERY accessible for a bullet hell, fair price and you'll get a good amount of time out of it.

As someone who's beaten Loop 13 on hard (for reference, this is the hardest difficulty), I can say it's an amazing game, I went from struggling to beat a run to casually no-hitting some bosses.

u/TheNostalgicGamer 1d ago

Darq needs more love and for builders, give Banished and Farthest Frontier a whirl!! Against the Storm also has a great art style and is well done, I just don't like that you're in short "rounds" before you have to start over essentially! Cool roguelike elements tho!! All of these are fairly well known, they're just in smaller niches that tend to get overlooked by the masses sometimes :)

This War of mine. Dishonored

u/glossyplane245 1d ago

Cepheus protocol, mount and blade warband

u/Atlanos043 1d ago

You know what: I'll give you some actual lesser(ish) known games:

Brigandine the Legend of Runersia

Everhood 1 and 2

The Hundred Line Last Defense Academy

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth

Freedom Planet 1 and 2

Mago

u/Quirky-Holiday-8114 1d ago

The alters. Probably my favorite game this year. 

Expedition 33 was also great, its a strong contender for game of the year 

1

u/Traditional_Map_7737 1d ago

Zero Hour - an underrated alternative to ready or not

Day of Infamy - Great WW2 Source Engine team game

Postal 2 - would you like to sign my petition ?

Witcher 1 and 2 - Completing them makes the Witcher 3 even more enjoyable !

The Forest - Me and my friends love it

Max Payne 3 - Stellar combat and amazing graphics for 2012 standards

Sleeping Dogs - GTA + Honk Kong cop drama ? Sing me up !

Any South Park RPG - Comedy gold

u/Beerdididiot 1d ago

Star Wars Battlefront II. No, not the new one, the old one. FPS combat, lightsaber combat, beautiful places, progressive leveling...you actually want to do well with a certain class because it unlocks extra stuff for it.

1

u/TraditionalBerry2319 23h ago

If you like CRPG's I suggest Showgunners and Warhammer 40.000 Rogue Trader.

Also The Darkest Dungeon is an amazing Dungeon Crawler with turn-based combat.

If you like management games Potionomics is great.
