I love obscure and overlooked games and want to share a bunch with all of you. Most “hidden gem” threads end up listing titles with thousands of reviews or that got some level of marketing. I aim to mostly avoid that. While you may see a few familiar games here, everything in the list below has under 1500 reviews on Steam...
I personally found Sunless Sea to get boring after a while to the point of giving up on it. I think DREDGE might be more appealing, though I haven’t played it: store.steampowered.com/app/1562430/DREDGE/
I’d be happy to show you Death Road to Canada at no cost to you through Steam Remote Play with my copy! The only catch is that you’d need a gamepad since it doesn’t take multiple players on one keyboard.
I’m not usually a huge fan of rogue-likes, but I’ve enjoyed a few, like Hades. I bought Balatro last week and have been absolutely smashing it ever since then. I love the way the game works, each run being so different even within the same framework, and the feeling when your build starts to go off is so incredibly...
I know some of you have gone complies FOSS, but I believe if the developer wants to make money from their apps, there’s noting wrong with it, as long as they are ethical. So what are your favorite non-foss apps?
welcome to the second-ever Beehaw Community Survey. it’s been awhile because of everything going on; we last did one of these with the influx of people last June and we got 1,500 responses that time. we don’t expect anywhere near that many this time, but that’s fine....
I am using Waterfox on Android and it displayed like this, so I did still have to go into landscape to read the bullets.
By the way, I’m a bit annoyed at how the end of the survey asked what we like most, but there was no space to say what we like least. I wish there could be some way to create, like, subcommunities for topics like company brands (like certain car models and stuff). This is my biggest issue with this otherwise-nice place to the point of making me feel like leaving, since it prevents getting & sharing key, helpful information. Just my 2¢ (and I know that’s probably not the goal of Beehaw…).
Really annoyed to find out that Google Play credit must entirely cover an app purchase or else it doesn’t get used at all. Oh, well. There are innumerable worse injustices out there.
I'm looking for something new to play with my 7yo son. Mario games are a great amount of fun, but I'm feeling pretty burnt out and am looking to expand things a little bit. We are looking for cooperative games like Pikmin 3, Cuphead, and Hyrule Warriors rather than competitive-only games like Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart....
Unrailed is a cute, arcade-like, cooperative railroad track-builder.
Death Road to Canada is a hilarious parody of Oregon Trail set in the thick of a modern-day zombie apocalypse, and would help with his vocabulary-building. It's clean and has no profanity (and the zombies have black blood).

Remember the hype around Fallout 4? (lemmynsfw.com)
Still like the game, even if it did not live up to expectations.
