Looking for hidden gems

Gabby-airGabby-air Member UncommonPosts: 3,440

Usually you would see me answering help requests here but today its your turn to help me. So ive pretty much played every single game out there that is half decent, and by half decent i mean i only left games that had graphics from 1990, VERY grindy, or really seemed to offer nothing new at all. Recently ive been playing ryzom and having a blast, this is what i mean by a hidden gem...this game has alot to offer and really lots of fun but very rarely do people actually know this game exists. So my question is, are there some hidden gems that an average gamer would most likely never hear of?

Some examples: Wurm online, Ryzom, Vanguard

    eh, Aion is probably the most popular game right now and fallen earth same thing as these were the 3 main releases of the year.

    Well it was second on D2D charts, and there was quite a bit talk of the game. Another example of a game that many wouldn't know is Savage 2, I'm really looking for those games that are very sneaky.

    Should look into Dark-Wind if you want to try something different. Played it earlier in its life and it slipped past me to other games, then tried it again a few months and it hooked me quickly. Posted their Newsletter here if you want to give it a look.

     SUN online.

    Thanks haruto, that was exactly the type of answer i want and again Mortal online has big hype from all the sandbox players and well SUN people have been waiting for ages to play. Remember that I'm a vet and more than likely i would know games that had atleast a bit of hype.

    Hidden gems:

    Wurm Online

    Haven and Hearth

    Knights of Dream City (had less than 500 pre-orders but is great fun =D)

    RealmLords could be a hidden gem once Ken gets a more direct design document and gets the actual game made, other than the engine and basics. ;)

    Twilight War: After the Fall has potential to be awesome

    Vendetta Online

    Now you guys are getting a hang of it XD

    I've played wurm and H&H, knights i hear you gotta pre order to even get into the beta? Realm lords i think i played but ill check it out again. Twilight does seem cool but its been in dev. for awhile and at  this moment i doubt it would be finished or well rather be released in a farily buggy state.

    I liked Wurm...just had some creepy, exactly-the-same characters. Now I'm trying H&H out. =D

    Knights has been released and it's got a trial on the way soon. I had to take a break from being sick though. I'm only lvl 13-ish and I'm sure everyone else is like lvl 50-ish by now. So much for being one of the first in the game. xD

    Twilight War has pre-orders open and you get all betas with the pre-order ($35) and apparently the test servers are going to be up in the coming months, though I'm not touching the pre-order until I know the servers are up.

    I'm also giving Project Visitor a trial run. It used to be 10six when Sega ran it up until 2002. It's an old game and the graphics are dated but it's a fun MMORPGFPSRTS that actually sorta does it right and is still being actively worked on in the form it is now.
