Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy on PS2. It was an innovative third person shooter game where the player got telekinesis powers.
I don't remember if the story is actually any good, but the gameplay was really cool.

Majesty: the Fantasy Kingdom Sim
A RTS/Sim hybrid in which you play as the king of a cliche fantasy realm with the gimmick that your direct control is limited. You don't have an army and instead have to hire adventurers who are all AI controlled and need to be bribed into doing what you want. The game can be frustrating but it has a ton of charm and there's just nothing out there quite like it.
The Secret World. Not a flawless game, but the world building is awesome
I really loved a game called Guns of Icarus (the original one). Fun little airship defense game, where you had to manage fighting air pirates, repairing your ship, and saving your cargo. Extremely simple, basically a tech demo, but the aesthetic, music, and general feel were perfect. Very melancholy world that I still revisit sometimes.
RDR2, but the single player. RDO is meh, but the single player game is just a beautiful slice of mythologized Americana. It has gorgeous scenery, an amazing soundtrack, and a level of immersion i haven't felt in any game since. I love that game.

Patapon 1-3 on the psp. It's been so long since I played it but I still say the little beats when I'm doing idle tasks. Pon-pon-pata-pon

RAMPART. An Atari Games arcade game with strong strategy and puzzle elements. Very difficult in the arcade, and has like 12 home ports, including one as late as the PS3. A lot of Atari arcade games from that era aren't talked much about these days, but with Rampart it feels especially egregious.
I could mention lots of games here. I love lots of overlooked games. I even like Athena, of all things, and I am fully aware of its many flaws.
I've never played DQ: Slime. I think I'll make an effort to. For me it's possibly Fallout, the original. To me it seems for a lot of people Fallout starts with 3 and ends with 4 or 76. The original Fallout was a wonderful turn-based tactical RPG.
I like the DOS game Nuclear War. Funny and quick to complete.
Chrono triggiger
Serious Sam
Little big adventure 1 & 2
Has to be M.A.X.. Most people never heard of it but it's the best turn based strategy I have ever played with awesome sound design, graphics and music. Sadly it's an old game made by old Interplay people who loved making games.
Fallen London; a text-based, story-driven ongoing browser game about an alternate-history London that was traded by Queen Victoria in exchange for her husband being spared death and literally carried by a cloud of bats to a massive underground cavern where Hell is just a train journey away.
It's a niche game in a niche genre, but damn I love the writing and setting so much. Sunless Sea is set in the same world, if anyone has played that too!
"Darkstar one" on Xbox 360. It was the only game that actually ran at 60FPS. when i eventually went to sell it (as i got it on PC) neither of the 2 game stores (GAME and CEX) would buy it off me as it didn't register on their system.
Now one that people probably know about, especially as it has a lot of HD re-releases, but when Okami came out, basically no-one knew it. A real shame, as it was a gem of a game.
