The Underdog House (Part 1)

The niche, the obscure and the undersold. Great games that you won't find on any bestsellers list, but are no less worthy of your time and attention. Science fact: Playing these games makes you cooler

Cult Classics for Cultured Connoisseurs

If there was a Criterion Collection for games, this would be it. Not much in the way of AAA mega-budget blockbusters, but a whole bunch of best-in-genre classics from mid to small-scale studios.

$24.99

推荐 2024 年 9 月 29 日

“6 veteran indie devs. 10+ years of development. 50 full games presented as the complete softography of a parallel-universe 8-bit console. Full-length but un-padded games. Focused, creative and brill.”

“Taking on the Ace Combat series head-to-head, despite being largely a one-person production. Melodramatic sci-fi dogfights with fleets of flying airships. Has VR support and even better that way.”

$29.99

推荐 2022 年 10 月 31 日

“Excellent co-op FPS. Be a squad of space-dwarves, mining rare minerals, fighting horrible space-bugs and carving your own path through the terrain. Can be done solo or matchmade, but made for pals.”

$11.99

推荐 2022 年 11 月 8 日

“A 90s gem remastered. Bronze age (fantasy) tribal management sim disguised as a choose-your-own-adventure. Genuinely interesting choices, scenarios and world and huge replay value. Respect the ducks.”

$2.99

推荐 2022 年 11 月 24 日

“Truly surreal, oddly compelling JRPG set in a disjointed world made out of digitized clay. Burritos are life, and praise the Ablative Holo-Pleather. Play this first, the soak in the even better sequel”

$24.99

推荐 2022 年 10 月 31 日

“Worthy successor to the SoR name. Gorgeous art, tight gameplay, high replay value. The content added by the Mr X Nightmare DLC elevates this to one of the best side-scrolling brawlers ever made.”

$18.99

推荐 2022 年 11 月 24 日

“Incredibly stylish & slick (if you dig early 2000s Adult Swim) speedrunning platformer-FPS. Race through heaven shooting demons with disposable guns which can be discarded for movement-boosting powers”

$19.99

推荐 2022 年 11 月 8 日

“The Hades dev's most underrated gem. A saga of 3v3 wizard basketball with an amazingly reactive story. Push the difficulty high as win or lose, it's always interesting. Also, B-ball dog with mustache.”

$19.99

推荐 2024 年 9 月 29 日

“Breathless and tense first-person platforming through a BLAME!-inspired sci-fi megastructure. Starts out slow and almost contemplative, but escalates to Celeste-like mobility & pacing by the end.”

$19.99

推荐 2022 年 11 月 4 日

“Immensely satisfying puzzler about drawing paths through a grid of color-coded monsters to kill as many as you can in a single turn. Funny, gory, and surprisingly deep thanks to multiple free addons.”

$19.99

推荐 2022 年 10 月 29 日

“Adorable exploration adventure about cute animals, colouring in the world, and the crushing anxiety & impostor syndrome that come with being creative. Beautiful & smart. The dog's canon name is Pizza.”

$19.99

推荐 2022 年 11 月 24 日

“An almost-official My Little Pony Fighting game, with surprisingly deep Marvel-style mechanics and a serious competitive scene. Character designs are by Friendship Is Magic showrunner Lauren Faust.”

$4.99

推荐 2022 年 11 月 4 日

“A dystopian photography simulator set in kaiju-ravaged Neo Zealand. Create art, tell a story, hang out with your crew and stare unblinking at the possible end of the world. Macro DLC is essential.”

$29.99

推荐 2022 年 10 月 30 日

“Katana Zero in 3D? Excellent first-person speedrunning mobility platformer with one-hit-death combat. Great graphics and now with NG+ and roguelike challenge modes. DLC adds a new character's story.”

$19.99

推荐 2022 年 10 月 29 日

“Whimsical, smart and occasionally heart-rending JRPG set mostly in the childish fantasies of a traumatized teen. Gorgeous pencil-scribble art style, memorable characters. Equally funny and tragic.”

$19.99

推荐 2022 年 10 月 29 日

“Truly unique horror game, kinda like a solo board game with a Junji Ito-inspired Macintosh monochrome style. Solve mysteries in a cursed town, fight monsters, hoard tools and stop a god reawakening.”

推荐 2022 年 10 月 29 日

“A VR must-have. A realistic gun simulator with a satirical leftist bent. No humans to shoot here, just bloodless man-sized hotdogs. Constantly expanding with new modes & features. Huge mod scene too.”

$5.99

It's Dangerous To Go Alone

While you could technically play some of these games solo, you probably shouldn't. These are built for group multiplayer through-and-through. Bring a buddy or three and you'll have a grand old time.

$9.99

推荐 2024 年 9 月 29 日

“A Maze of Galious-style protovania that's fun solo, but absolutely shines in local or online co-op as one player is a shielded melee knight, the other a ranged wizard with their own quests & items.”

“Before Amogus, there was this. FPS meets social deduction, ending many rounds in a panicked firefight. Not many players, so you'll have to bring your own buddies. Also has a short solo/co-op campaign.”

推荐 2024 年 12 月 21 日

“Fast, fun 1v1 brutalist arena deathmatch for the best price of all: Free. Threre's an optional paid version that doubles the size of the game, but you can play free with players that own it.”

$39.99

推荐 2022 年 10 月 29 日

“Co-op survival horror for a 4-player squad. There are bots and matchmaking, but not ideal. Very tense, low resources. Stealth is key, combat is deadly. Used to have FOMO elements that got patched out.”

推荐 2022 年 10 月 31 日

“In 2010, Valve released a free top-town squad shooter inspired by Aliens. This is the free, community-maintained version. Greatly expanded and with mods too. Just bring friends. The bots ain't great.”

$19.99

推荐 2022 年 10 月 27 日

“'Co-op' twin-stick shooter that can ruin friendships. Aliens, robots & cyborgs are bad enough without friendly fire. Check your angles! Orbital dropping a turret onto your teammates is ALWAYS funny.”

$39.99

推荐 2022 年 11 月 4 日

“A clever and replayable Souls-like shooter from the Darksiders devs. Tense but fast combat, and great bosses. Lots changes between playthroughs. Decent solo, this one shines in co-op. DLC is essential”

$19.99

推荐 2024 年 12 月 21 日

“Still VERY Early Access, but the vibes are immaculately horrible. a co-op extraction shooter (don't go solo) set in an eternal sci-fi hellwar, and you're a neutral scavenger just trying to survive.”

推荐 2022 年 10 月 31 日

“Free co-op zombie shooter, slower and more survival horror-themed than Left 4 Dead. Parts can be played solo, but you really want to bring a few friends. Still growing after 11 years - patches & mods.”

“An ongoing, free remake of the anarchic sandbox social simulation game. Like playing a group-improvised Sealab 2021 episode - the base is going to explode horribly, but the fun is finding out how.”

$9.99

推荐 2024 年 12 月 21 日

“Shortstack Simulator 2024 - turns out that a Maple Story-inspired action dungeon crawl with customizable (and frequently curvaceous) little furry critters is a recipe for big sales and horny fan-art.”

$29.99

“While its dynamic story is now over (where the game's voice actors improv-played cosmic gods live), this is an excellent co-op stealth immersive sim. Thief meets Stranger Things. Best played with pals”

Massively Moddable

Games that'll last you an eternity. Once you're done with the vanilla campaign, there's a massive Steam Workshop (or other repository) waiting for you with more content than most will ever play.

“A great introduction to the world of turn-based mech warfare. A loose adaptation of the tabletop rules, with a great mercenary campaign structure - smart play saves cash. Has some truly enormous mods.”

“Bungie's classic Marathon FPS trilogy is now free on Steam, running on an upgraded source-port. Check them all out, but don't skip on the 'Eat The Path' mod to help you navigate. You'll thank me.”

$24.99

推荐 2022 年 10 月 30 日

“The wettest FPS. A low-fi, high-tech hybrid of Quake and Doom. Great aesthetics, hilarious gore, fun guns. The campaign ends kinda abruptly but has a powerful editor and mountains of user-made levels.”

$19.99

推荐 2022 年 11 月 24 日
