I've recently rekindled my love for Katamari Damacy and it made me wonder if there's any other amazing cult classics out there that aren't talked about these days. What are your recommendations?

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

Jade Empire.

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy.

Sid Meier’s Pirates.

Came here to say jade empire. I had completely forgotten about it until someone mentioned it in a post on another lemmy. I promptly found it on a rom site and loaded it on to my steam deck.

So much time spent playing Sid Meier's Pirates! I think there was a remake that was faithful to the original with updated graphics, and it was great times. Capture ships, attack forts, trade goods.l... just a great game.

Capture ships, attack forts, trade goods.l… just a great game.

I love games in that genre, they're so endlessly playable. The Mount & Blade series is kind of like a more recent take on that same idea. And X4 Foundations is like that but in space.

That was such a cool game! I remember I had this really weird fixation on marrying the Governer's daughter from Curacao.

Sands of Time was so cool. That series was flawed (Warrior Within was the emo-most game in an era full of emo sequels as the original audience reached adolescence), but I'm sad that it essentially got canceled by warping into AC.

Agreed. I was pretty upset that the series progressed the way it did and the third one...we just don't talk about that.

Sands of Time has the most beautiful cutscenes, that was my favorite part of the game.
