I 100% agree with you on freedom fighters. That was such a great game. I'd love a remaster, or remake. So underrated and awesome.

Before I encountered this game, I had played several fantasy strategy games like Master of Magic. But my favorite part of those games was just building a single army or two and just wiping the floor with the enemy. Well in HoMM2, you are encouraged to do just that very thing. Get a hero (or a few heroes) and focus on building up a huge army for him to battle the enemy. It's just so well executed on this simple premise. It has several expansions. It's only obscure because of age and being from the PC. |
It has been one of my fav games for the last 20 years and one of my most played PC games. I prefer it over HoMM3 because of the imo better visual style and animations and tighter gameplay. I was really disappointed in HoMM3 when it came out, the maps looked like medieval paintings and the units looked like plastic figurines. I ended up playing HoMM3 for hundreds of hours anyway but its HoMM2 that I still keep coming back to. Ironically I was introduced to HoMM2 by my airhead neighbor kid, I would have never thought he could like a turn based tactical strategy game like that.
Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

Yes! I fully agree. I just love the visuals of HoMM2, and the gameplay is awesome. I also played a ton of HoMM3 when it came out, but I still prefer HoMM2. The gameplay just feels right to me.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

Resonance of Fate. Such a unique combat system.
Cavernous wastes
Obscure title for PSVR made by one guy.
It's a procedurally generated version of Descent with random upgrades. It gets pretty tough to survive later on while exploring the caves with wonderful retro music to keep you company. It looks great in VR, really sucks you in. 6 dof fun, perfect for VR.
Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom - A charming action adventure title released in 2010. It was a mid-range game with a limited budget, which shows to a certain extent in the gameplay and graphics, but the story, characters, and some fun puzzles make it well worth playing in my opinion. This one has always felt like it was destined to be overlooked by most people.
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West - Still Ninja Theory's best game, with a great story, wonderful and memorable characters, fun, if fairly straightforward battle and platforming gameplay and gorgeous post-apocalyptic world. The fact this game never became successful enough to warrant a sequel was one of my biggest disappointments from the previous generation.
HOW COULD I FORGET Warpath 97!!!!! My friend and I used to play that all the time back on PC.

Actually have it installed. Shame it's not a more difficult game though.
Other goldies like Dink Smallwood, Scorched Earth need a mention too...
