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 :(

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.

No one lives forever. Came out around 2000. Was a spy fps that has all the cheese of 60s and 70s bond movies. I remember it being lots of fun. Doubt it would hold up now, but was lots of fun.

How about the flash games of Orisinal? They're a bunch of extremely chill tiny games. With the death of internet Flash they're much harder to play, but one can use Ruffle, which has browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome. (Homestar Runner can be viewed that way too.)

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.

As great as it is, Red Dead Redemption 2 is hardly an unknown game. It's sold 53 million copies and was nominated for 72 awards and won 25 of them world wide.
