Any "undiscovered" games you think deserve more attention? (lemmy.world)

Any games with less than 1000 total Steam reviews you've enjoyed and thought more people ought to know about? Not a hard limit, just a guideline for what could be classified as "undiscovered" on Steam, assuming it wasn't released yesterday.

I would recommend:

Full Bore, a cute block-based puzzle platformer. Solid mechanics, level designs and even a somewhat engaging story. ~~Unfortunately hasn't been on a sale since 2021 according to steampricehistory.com, while it was frequently reduced to €2-3 before that. Not sure I'd recommend it to everybody at full price, but IMO it's one of the best indie platformers I've played.~~ edit: Did someone email the creator of Full Bore or something? It's suddenly on sale again, for the first time in ages :) Go buy it!

Infested Planet

Plays like an RTS, but not as involved. You control a squad of soldiers moving through an area where different types of alien spawn are taking root to take over. Each level has a timer (under 10m each IIRC), and your job is to sweep through and clear the infestation in that time. You can outfit each soldier in your squad with different weapons and specialties, and split them up to handle different jobs tactically.

Think Syndicate meets Advance Wars.
