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 :(

In the same vein, Dragon Quest Monsters and Dragon Quest Builders are games that I really enjoyed that I feel don't get enough attention. Surprisingly all the DQ spinoffs have been real hits for me.

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.

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.

I think Greedfall was really special. A fantasy take on the American colonies is right up my alley. It was a pretty cool game with a great concept from a small studio.

I'm so glad Greedfall 2 was greenlit and I'm excited to see what Spider(?) Can do with a bigger budget. It was a bit eurojank but if they manage to make it a full open world I'll be very happy.
