Actual Hidden Gems on Steam

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...

+1 to Year Walk, I remember playing that on an iPod Touch when it first came out. I love Simogo, with games like Device 6 and Sayonara Wild Hearts, they make really unique games.

Love this thread, finally some real hidden gems! Gonna check out DIG - Deep in Galaxies and Ctrl Alt Ego.

Looks like they’ve raised the minimum specs a bit. Heard they’re also dropping support for HDDs, but in practice, I doubt it would affect much, maybe loading times and texture streaming if you’re still using one?

I absolutely loved RDR2, but it’s definitely not for everyone. Half of the people I know stopped playing because of the slow nature of the game, but it felt meaningful and was a nice change of pace. Great game to get immersed in, if that’s your thing.
