10 Games You Should've Played SOONER 

I also have an annual playthrough of Prey (the whole Dishonored series too). These are some of the most imaginative, well designed, fun, exploratory games I’ve ever played. This level of quality game design is rare and wish that it was a) a standard that more game developers aimed to achieve and… b) that more gamers sought out these types of games to increase the chances of them being made.

Same opinion ... a masterpiece for me

same, amazing and underrated (no idea why) game

Great game. Such a shame it underperformed. All thanks to Bethesda's decision to force the developers to adopt the Prey title. The game director (Raphaël Colantonio) was furious for this. Years in the making, and had to be released that bears the name that had absolutely nothing with another good game (2006 game from Human Head Studios). After this game's launch, 70% of Arkane Studios staff had it enough (resigned, quit)💢❌

King of the underrated games...

I agree 👍👍

As a fan of the movies that was the first game I got when I bought my pc and I loved it.

the fact that you feel guilty for not buying it day one because of not helping the company with sales is sad af lol. Everything will be okay bro

First game I bought when I got my Xbox one many moons ago, still one of my favorite games to this day.

Absolutely. 100%

Installing Mad Max while watching this. Hoped it would be listed honestly. This game is a gem! Multiple playthroughs and I still come back to it every now and then. New tradition of mine is to put on old school hard rock/metal while playing and god it feels even more badass, roaming that V8 in the Wasteland with some Judas Priest rushing through the veins, it simply fits!

I played Vampyr for quite a long time. They could have made some changes to the mechanics for the better, but I didn't do an evil playthrough, and since I went the good route (never fed on anyone that wasn't a random enemy), I leveled slowly just fighting the respawning enemies repeatedly.

I liked the game but it did need some tweeking.

Vampyr was a great game.. Great story.. Just the control and movement was so janky and slow for a modern day game..

The fact that the endgame boss got stronger the more you leveled up pissed me off

All too true, plus the endings I felt all worked and could lead to a sequel or even prequel, definitely a great game experience.

Yep more videos about 'underdog' or 'forgotten' games please. There's so many out there. Make it a series.

Dude facts. Those games are so damn good. Gonna have to see how I can play them again on my pc.

​@@jolane3591When you find a way, lettuce snow. I remember passing Riddick with my cousin on the XBOX. Great memories

I love during the fake credits sequence after Fenyx first enters the underworld, one of the things mentioned for Prometheus is Eagle Feeder, referencing his punishment in Greek mythology.

I loved the game, but it needed to make 50% of the puzzles optional only. Some take so long and there’s so many that it ruins the fun and immersion

👍🏼

A way out was a rollercoaster. I was lucky enough to play it with my wife, so the end of the game during the 1v1 section I absolutely destroyed her while she screamed for help

​@@LiamDePauxnaturally.

A lot of games in the sunset of PS3 were overlooked! Prototype 2, Enslaved Odyssey to the West etc!

Using Kena as a comparison, i really enjoyed asterigos, it was super fun and i ended up playing it to the end because it was engaging.

A sequel just wouldnt work, the story and narrative is something else in this game. Probably the best example of gameplay and narrative harmony.

That's the zombie game in the wild west?

This game was so much fun

@@ChristmasLore Nah that's the DLC for the first Red Dead Redemption called Undead Nightmare.

If you haven't played Wildlands I highly recommend. Cooler more diverse map, Cooler enemies, Better story in my opinion. Not even discounting breakpoint cause I enjoyed that too

Yeah mate I finished it a week ago and was really impressed. I never heard of it so I didn't know what to expect but hot damn it was good. It's got a nice soundtrack as well. Especially those drums that come in whenever you're in a battle 😂👏

I freaking hated kena and getting hats

I think it’s a beautiful game but I found myself forcing myself to play it after a few..It didn’t make me wanna play and finish it but I did just so I didn’t waste my time or money…

Loved the game, beautiful visuals, good exploration, challenging boss fights and memorable music. Absolutely worth it.

Game was legit harder than ER at times.

Fenyx is a goddamn open-world masterpiece. People were griping pretty hard about the humor, but Prometheus and Zeus bickering and quipping is the highlight for me, never mind certain other roles in the game. It's not perfect, but almost every tedious aspect of games like BotW have been turned into fun traversal, combat, and even puzzles (subject to subjectivity). The world looks gorgeous with all the little biomes and many secrets and what not, the climbing mechanics are really, really great, even for a Ubi game... people seriously slept on it, although it was pretty well-received. If you can go at it without preconceptions and like something in the vein of these games, and if you aren't a stick in the mud about having humorous, Greek mythology-related dialog, this might become one of your favorite games. Combat is super fun too, great power creep.

​@@minhuang8848The whole story framing and the humor was just about my favorite part of the game. I thought it was such a breath of fresh air, and as the video pointed out, it was such a video game-y game. It was just fun, not trying to be too serious or be a simulator, just trying to show people a good time at the end of a long day.

Are you kidding I just started playing that. And it is quite good. Nevermind got to that part.

I never even played the game but even I was pretty bummed the sequel got scrapped. It seemed like a “lightning in a bottle” game for Ubisoft and that’s hard for them these days imo.

I bought it on my xbox when it came out. Loved it , still mad that the sequel got canned.

It such a great game. I was hooked and I remember playing it the morning my son was born back in 2021. But after rushing to the hospital and the busy weeks after I never really gotten into it anymore. I should play it again

I love that game! Finished it this year! It had a very charming sense of humor

the actual gameplay is sloppy and quick time events mostly though, not great

@@elfismykitten yeah, it was extremely unsatisfying to play

👍🏼

Just got it the other day. I love it!

Ooh thanks for reminding me. I added it to my wishlist but every time it goes on sale I’ve been deep into another game and put it off

@@Scuuurbs Only thing I didn't like was the tendency of trash mobs to chip away at your health and limited healing count - clearing trash really isn't hard but unless you play absolutely perfectly at all times each one drains a little more. I found it perfect to just cheat and lock the potion count so I didn't have to be perfect in combat every time and could be a little more casual while clearing.

at least there still updating it,i don't really mind it still being in alpha

​@@aceknight6622consoles haven't seen an update in five years, but at least you got yours, I guess

I have a decent record of hours played with 7DTD, I love it, but yes, it needs to get out of Alpha. With the updated unreal engine, there are other zombie games in early access that are essentially copying the 7DTD formula but with waaay better graphics. If they don't figure out on how to get out from Alpha soon, some other developer will simply take their winning formula and run away with it, and 7DTD will just be remembered as another game that the devs went too greedy with.

7 Days To Die was one of my favorite games for years, but I can't in good conscious recommend anyone play it anymore with the developers incredible lack of direction and overall disdain for their community. They've improved the game in a lot of really great ways over the years, the design of interiors is incredible and the game looks nothing like what is shown in this video anymore. But they constantly redesign major mechanics of the game, remove features and can't decide on what they want their game to be. When I first started playing, a lot of people were complaining that they changed player progression from "Learn by Doing" to Perk-Based Leveling. As much as I would have preferred the former, I had no frame of reference, so it wasn't a huge deal for me at the time. But now they've completely changed it yet again to this weird "Learn By Finding Magazines In Loot" system that is entirely reliant on RNG and totally unbalanced. So even if you enjoy what the game is at the start, they will most certainly gut it into something you don't want down the line. They have gone on record saying "They don't understand why they need to finish the game" and "We only listen to feedback that praises us and supports our decisions", while actively berating anyone who has issues with their decisions on their forums, all while they still refuse to fix major game-breaking issues that have plagued the game for years. It's a real shame because 7 Days To Die was probably close to one of my dream games before it started down the path of just another generic zombie shooter.

@@aceknight6622unplayable on console

Always wanted to play that game.

@@Gatorade69 You can finish it in 1 sitting, about 6hrs for the campaign.

@@Boss_Fight_Wiki_muki_twitch That's a good thing for me. As I have less time to really put into long games I've really started enjoying titles that are fun and short (like my ex).

The sequel is underrated too IMO

@@christopherjones9862 this, catalyst is so damn smooth its soo underrated

One of the funnest mil sim games I've played to date. I think it's strongest point is how it handles menus and game flow because it doesn't bog it down and instead exhances the experience unlike in many other games.

No that game was average in everyway. Nothing unique about it. Full of ubisoft bloat.

@@eternalbeing3339 Average? Breakpoint is average. Wildlands is actually good because they went to Bolivia to make it and it's simpler to play. Yes it has all the Ubisoft tropes but it owns it and does it well.

@@TheFirstRoyale Breakpoint at launch sucked. Now it's better than Wildlands in almost every objective way

half the npcs are missing mission dialogue audio but the story was kinda ahead of its time warning about the danger of post-nation-state 'Sovereigns' [Thiel types who want to return to tech powered feudalism] The world environment is cool. The bullet spongy combat gets old tho. So does the terrible wooden vehicle handling.

Glad we could help

I waited for it to be on Steam, and now that it is, there's too many other games.

It’s reeeeally good! I remember watching the PS5 showcase thing in like 2020 and it was the one I was the most excited for lol

Just played it a month ago

🥜

daily dose of gameranx

Ahh yes, just take that gameranx, put it in a spoon, add a little water, boil, drop a little cotton in, suck it up and put it in my veins.

It's literally my ritual to put it on when I'm leaving work lol

I wake up like an hour early before work everyday so I can watch my gameranx lol 😅

👍🏼

Nope, locked at 30fps, no thanks

@@adamjensen2304 No it isnt Lol.

@@NotMyStro for most ppl it is, not everyone buying $1500 gaming pc

@@brunodeandrade2631 good one

Sucks that it’s completely broken on PC

@@mitchellp7739 Correct me if I'm wrong but as I understand, the broken version is the one that uses Dx12 on the Microsoft Store/Game Pass, but the Steam version allows you to change to Dx11 which is apparently fully functional

Singularity.

@@mitchellp7739What? I literally just played it again, there is nothing wrong with it.

They really dropped the ball with the PC port though, I hate that it's a full price game for essentially being as long as a CoD campaign without the multiplayer, while also being limited to 720p upscaled.

Armored Core 6 really reminded me of Vanquish, minus humor and escort missions

Days gone is a brilliant game i didnt want it to end

AC Odyssey definitely not, but yes to the second two

@@jakejanson430 it s the best ac by far

@@jakejanson430i grew up on the old ac games and i still love the newer ones

It's my prime example of a redemption story. Ubisoft tried something new (good for them) but it didn't work. And instead of ditching the game they took the feedback and made it a genuinely good game. There's lots of bad things to say about Ubisoft but I think how they handled Breakpoint is commendable

I wonder why they're showing such an old version of the game tho. They should have shown an evolution of the game as it now gives a distorted view of the game

@@overlordmateus407 that was my question. It looks like they used the old console version for the gameplay capture.

That’s what I thought of too

That game supports lots and lots of HOTAS. You can get a Thrustmaster for about as much as a regular controller(of today's prices) so it may be worth it since it's probably going to be a while before there's another Star Wars spacefighter game.

I can say it does support the HOTAS. I will say for some reason I find it hard to get into. I need to give it another go.

Dood squadrons in VR is life changing. I was like dam. I don't own a flightstick but I can only imagine how nuts that + VR could be.

*Flashback to Zeus and Prometheus talking about Aphrodite and her "Sea Foam" Origins*

It just came to ps plus and I'm excited to try it out.

@@frozenfury0 have fun!

💯 I wanted to play this game when it came out but who tf uses Epic lol

​@@sloppyfroppy9292I do, kind of. I don't buy games on it but I use it to collect free games. Lol. Still haven't spent a dollar on it but my Epic library has some decent titles in it.

Thank you!

"adjusting their vision based on community feedback" lolwut? The devs don't listen at all to the community and make sweeping changes to progression on every new alpha released. Also, a year to a year and a half between alphas is not what I would call "constantly updating the game".

But it keeps on growing and growing on it's own account and i have this feeling that when 2 comes around it's going to explode.

Scarlet Nexus felt like I was actually PLAYING an anime. That is kind of strange but awesome.

Thank

Must've played a different game, because I cant rate A Way out barely as average. The story is predictable as hell, the dialogue is simplistic.

👍🏼

That's a....long time

I bought it at launch and I enjoyed it, but it had issues especially the always online part. I lost many hours to server errors. I remember the surveys and saw how the devs kept working at it over the years and I really enjoyed the changes they made. I'm thinking of giving it another start.

@@HisNameIsRobertPaulson01 same spot I was in. I came back to it a couple years ago now and it's a totally different game. You've got options to change almost every aspect of the game, hud, enemy behavior. I'd definitely recommend checking it out again now

Loved wildlands.. breakpoint was mediocre.

@@Tryin2dobetter worse than mediocre at launch. now it's great

👍🏼

That's actually a good idea.

Diablo 4 is still brand new, that's dumb

Hello!

ooh I love that game! the humor is so subtle but hilarious when the Greek pantheon have beef with each other, plus the customization for your character is pretty fun to change up at any time! it can get a bit repetitive but when I'm flying or solving a complex puzzle I forget the small flaws of it and just have fun!

Damn right

The Medium was actually an Xbox exclusive bro, then it released on PS5 like a year later.

The Medium was an Xbox exclusive at launch, it came to PS5 7 months later

It wasn't actually exclusive at all on any platform, since it launched on two platforms ;) (Xbox and PC.) (Also, just like all the other Bloober team games, it's essentially a glorified walking simulator.)

@@Case_ if you want to be pedantic, sure. it's a Microsoft exlusive

@@imitenotbeIf "being pedantic" means the word "exclusive" actually meaning exclusive, then yes, I guess I want to "be pedantic". (And frankly, calling it "Microsoft exclusive" is just a really silly way of insisting on calling it "exclusive" simply for the sake of being able to call it that.)

Hi
