Under the radar good/great spinoffs

Monster Hunter Stories series is another example that comes to mind. Best Non-Pokemon games I’ve played, and the spin-off series didn’t really take off. Especially nowhere near the way the mainline series took off!

I liked Stories 2 a lot. Not played 1

I've not played it but I was really enamoured with Persona 5 Stikers as I am with most of these games that take a turn based IP and turn them into action or even Dynasty warriors, like Hyrule Warriors also. They just look like they set out to do exactly what they intended. I never play them but I have to respect them. Also the Persona rythym game, played the Demo, really bold spin off I have no idea if it was good or not cause it's not my thing. Metal Gear Revengence, everyone says it's a great spin off.

Strikers did well enough. It's a sequel to Persona 5 Vanilla. It plays less like a Warriors game and more just an ARPG version of Persona. Good game.

Oh, Monster Hunter stories is another that looks great. Gotta repect the Japanese for doing these, the closest Western devs going this hard away from the genre is Aloy ending up in Lego.
