Great games come out at such a rapid pace that you'll never be able to play them all, and many of the best ones are more obscure games that fly completely under your radar. Don't worry, we're here to help! This is a list of some great games that you may have missed over the years. While amazing games have been coming out since the 's, this list focuses on games that are playable and easy to get on more recent consoles, for your sake.
There's no need to go out and buy a Super Nintendo unless you really want to. But it has more heart than almost any other video game, and I'll take that over the countless blandly competent zombie shooters that come out every year. You play as Francis York Morgan, an FBI agent who is tasked with solving a gruesome murder in a small town in the Pacific Northwest, where each citizen is more secretive and goofy than the last.
In "Vib-Ribbon" for the PlayStation, you play as Vibri, a crudely drawn rabbit made of white lines who automatically moves from left to right across the screen. Vibri will encounter obstacles that the player needs to cross by pressing the correct button, and the levels are designed to sync up with whatever song is playing.
It's a simple but fairly difficult rhythm game that has a ton of style. Perhaps the most famous part of "Vib-Ribbon" is that you could put your music CDs into the console's disc drive and the game would automatically create levels based on those songs.
Unfortunately, the game was never released in the United States at the time, meaning it was beloved mostly by enthusiasts who imported it here. However, Sony made up for its past mistakes by releasing it as a downloadable game for PlayStation 3 and Vita in the states a couple of years ago, with the CD-reading feature fully intact!
In all honesty, it's better than some actual "Zelda" games. Based heavily on Japanese folklore, you play as Amaterasu, a divine wolf goddess with the power to change the world with a magical paintbrush.
You'll have to solve puzzles and fight enemies by drawing different shapes with the analog stick or Wii remote, in the Wii version.
It's one of the prettiest games ever made, and that alone is worth the price. It can and should be finished in a single minute sitting. You play as Kaitlin Greenbriar, who just got back from a trip to Europe to find your family's home empty and in a state of slight disarray. You'll go from room to room, examining objects and reading diary entries to try and figure out where everyone is. There is no combat or danger to be found here, only mystery. Set in the mids, "Gone Home" also doubles as a great game for people who really like riot grrrl punk music and other nostalgic artifacts from the era.
You can listen to punk cassette tapes or look at fake Nintendo cartridges! Everybody wins! Also never played the Diablo games, they just looked like an endless clickfest with shopping breaks and little to no story, so they never appealed to me, as that's the main reason I play RPG's. Probably won't check out the new one, either. And yeah, never got to play Ultima. Sad fact.
Never played Planescape Torment. Oh boy, lets see System Shock series, um all the Civ games There's a few others, but they aren't coming to me at the moment Deus Ex, Planescape Torment, and the Fallout games for me.
I have both of the Fallout games and DE also, just have never got around to actually playing them. Please Log In to post. This edit will also create new pages on Giant Bomb for:. Until you earn points all your submissions need to be vetted by other Giant Bomb users.
