    Ok this isn’t an answer from me but I’m hoping it’s somebody else’s answer because I’ve had this game in my library for like eight years and haven’t played it: Transistor. It seems like it got really really good reviews and then nobody ever talked about it again.

      The reason people forget about Transistor might be the game Hades -from the same studio- which was/is such a huge hype. Got them both in my library, played a lot of Hades but never really got into Transistor because in my opinion it really pales in comparison to Hades.

        Got it installed before I checked my replies and I didn’t even realize it was them till I started playing! But yeah it’s pretty awesome so far, loving the Turn() mechanic, gives me way less anxiety than Hades

        Yeah, It’s sandwiched between Bastion and Hades. It was fun, a lot of fun in fact, but those two had impacts on the industry.

      Best Supergiant game. But I wouldn’t call it underrated: it was a big hit when it landed. I has also aged really well with some very creative mechanics.
