I think I'll be finally picking up Project Wingman and Black Mesa in this sale.

What's on your list?

I don't see people mention Cross Codes often and no one has mentioned here yet so I think it's "lesser known".

It's one of the games I got. I'm 20 hours in and the game is amazing so far.

The game can be pretty challenging sometimes so I'm not sure if it's for everyone. I'd describe the game as a MMORPG but without the MMO. It has a lot less grinding than a MMO and a lot more puzzles.

I saw some people compare it to Zelda but I feel like that's only accurate for some aspects.

Cross code won awards and was featured several times on Linus Tech tips. IDK how lesser known it could be then. It did come out a while ago. I agree that the game is good, but it is one of the few games I quit because of performance issues.

Oh wow. I only learned of the game this year so I might just be living under a rock. I don't watch LTT often, do they do game reviews now?

[–] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

They don't do gaming reviews, but Crosscode was always that game Linus tested on those handheld consoles up until and including the Steam Deck. I remember him playing it to test latency and stuff on displays and stuff.

In a similar vein i would add Unsighted to this list.
