Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

Future Cop L.A.P.D.

I've seen like, maybe a singular youtube video essay on it (And I think it was by by a very small channel).

EDIT: Also WASTED: A Post Apocalyptic Pub Crawler.

OG Xbox games like Alter Echo and Advent Rising. Those games blew my god damn mind as a kid. Doesn't helpt they were pretty early for the generation and never escaped the console.

Oh man I remember that whole series was marketed as "the big" Halo-killer at the time, they were so confident they even had some million(?) dollar prize for whoever found some sort of secret in the game. Not sure if that ever actually happened or if it was just a marketing ploy.

But the game itself was fun, and I remember being able to dual wield rocket launchers and had space magic, so I was happy haha.

Looking back on it it was like it wanted to be an early Mass Effect. Full on space opera story, cool complex alien races, tons of cutscene story telling. I'm sure the game doesn't hold up anymore but man I was invested!

Cruelty Squad is that game for me, though it's recently gotten a huge surge in popularity after a big Youtuber released a vid on it last week that already has 3.7 million views. I highly recommend it to anyone who's not photosensitive.
