* ''[[Battlezone (1998 video game)|Battlezone 1998]]'', a RTS-FPS mix featuring a compelling storyline, great graphics and overall high production values was largely overlooked by consumers when it game out in the late 90's even though it was awarded high scores by critics.
* ''[[Okami]]'', probably one of the best games ever. I mean, you play as a [[Big Badass Wolf]] god vanquishing demons, with many bosses and an incredibly long storyline, all in a lush, unique art style. It has even won several awards and is critically acclaimed. Really, anyone with a wii or [[PlayStation 2]] should have one. It just didn't sell, and God knows why.
** Such a thing is also true for its sequel, ''[[Okamiden]]''. While it may not be as good as its predecessor, it's still bloody amazing but sold even LESS than Okami.
*** However, with the introduction of Amaterasu in Marvel vs Capcom 3, and several Let's Plays, more people are getting exposed to
* Metro2033 is a Ukrainian [[Survival Horror]] [[First-Person Shooter]] set in Moscow [[After the End]]. It's bleak, fun, frighteneing, intense, challenging, and always goes at a good pace. Unfortunately, it was doomed by a double case of [[Fan Dumb]] and being [[Overshadowed by Awesome]], being released in March 2010, while [[Fallout 3]] and [[Fallout: New Vegas]] were still on everyone's minds. And its own fandom didn't help either; they were expecting a open-world roaming type game more in like with the [[STALKER]] series. The result was that it got mixed critical reception, with big-name reviewers such as IGN giving it a thorough bashing and calling it a [[Fallout]] wannabe, while [[Gameinformer]] loved it. Unfortunately, most pro critics leaned more to IGN's side.
** The core gameplay, story, setting, and characters are all very well done. Unfortunately, it wasn't what anybody was prepared to deal with. It's not a Russian transplant of [[Resident Evil]] [[Survival Horror]], but it's not a [[Modern Warfare]] style run and gun FPS either.
Line 495 ⟶ 496:
* The ''[[Chaos Rings]]'' series, especially ''[[Chaos Rings II]]''. A gem of an [[Eastern RPG]] with great characters, fun gameplay, and an engrossing plot by the same studio that made the cult classic ''[[Wild Arms]]'' series. Sadly, they are for [[IOS]] devices, which has not yet gotten a reputation as a "serious" gaming platform. As a result, hardly anyone has played them.
* [[Neo Tokyo|Neotokyo]]. You'll be surprised in how detailed this ''Half-Life 2'' mod is. It is based on multiplayer with focus on teamwork as there is no damage direction indicator. Every engagement is always fast and fatal. Couple this with commercial-quality maps and in-game models and you get one of the most hailed upcoming mod in it's time. Too bad to developers seems to abandon it and not much of it's player base are left. This troper suggest those who's looking for serious tactical FPS to give it a try.
