Avencast: Rise of the Mage is a little-known game from 2007 which had some cool ideas about representing spellcasting in an action RPG. Instead of a hotkey bar filled with spell icons, you unleash abilities by putting in specific combinations as if you were playing a fighting game. There are two leading types of abilities: soul magic for traditional spells, and blood magic for melee powers.

A full 3D survival horror, Extermination may have been plagued with some of the worst voice acting ever (which was actually slowed down or sped up to fit the lip syncing, with hilarious results), but the core gameplay was great.
The game made use of traditional Resident Evil-style combat and exploration, but featured some great additions. The modular weapon you carried could be fully customized, and various environmental puzzles were put into play. Alongside this, ammo was very scarce, and so running from combat was often advisable. Dennis, the protagonist, could become infected with enough exposure to enemies.
Also known as Indigo Prophecy, Fahrenheit came from Quantic Dream, the studio that also brought us Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and the earlier Nomad Soul. Like the later games, Fahrenheit was largely a glorified QTE, but it also had a little more gameplay, and the story was intriguing enough to draw you in, even if it went a bit Pete Tong toward the end.
Originally planned as an action-oriented and multiplayer entry in the Deus Ex series, Project Snowblind became a more generic FPS, but one that managed to be a pretty good title all the same, replete with nice visuals and some decent gameplay.
Before Guitar Hero and Rock Band emerged from Harmonix, there was Frequency and Amplitude. Like their eventual successors, these were music games set on ever-scrolling tracks that challenged players with hitting on screen queues to play music.
It possessed similar gameplay to the first game in the series, albeit with better visuals, and the 2.5D platforming was every bit as enjoyable as it was the first time around, even more so with the tweaks and refinements that came with the new platform.
Darkwatch featured solid FPS gameplay with horse riding shooter segments and some useful vampiric abilities, which were unavailable in missions set during the daytime, making the player rely on standard tactics. It had a great art style, and was originally planned as a series, but this never happened as the sequel was canned.
Visually stunning for the time, Primal was a brilliantly polished game, and although the gameplay got a little bit repetitive, it was an enthralling adventure, and one that simply fell off the radar.
The game used an AI teammate system, giving player character Blake plenty of allies. These allies were made up of engineers, soldiers, and medics, and their skills were used to progress through the various locations.
Urban Chaos looked great for a PS2 FPS, and it featured some of the most satisfying gunplay around. Head shots in particular were gratifying (and often the best way to take out foes, so mastering it was important), and the riot shield opened up new game mechanics, such as having to slowly approach a hostage-holding gang member, shielding yourself from fire until you could get in that elusive headshot. Brilliant.
Blood Will Tell played very much like Devil May Cry, only with larger, more open areas and some stealth and puzzle sections (as Dororo). Hyakkimaru and his implanted weapons made for a great combat character, with all sorts of crazy moves and combos, which could be upgraded as you progressed. The levels were varied, and there was no cheating or shortcuts taken. You actually did seek out and kill 48 fiends, many of which were impressive bosses, and some were downright freaky. Each chapter of the game had its own mini-story, keeping things interesting. This was a brilliant fighter that really you should dig out.
You quickly noticed just how well produced The Mark of Kri was when you started playing it, and how violent the gameplay was. The characters were great, not out of place in any Disney epic, and although it took a while to get used to, the control scheme worked very well. Highly recommended.
Ico was a long escort mission, but before you run for the hills, know that it was an escort mission that was actually fun to play. Its striking art style and mixture of puzzles and enemy confrontations were superbly designed. The game possessed a level of character and refinement few games can even imagine, and was a forerunner for the equally brilliant and more successful Shadow of the Colossus.
There's also a lot to be said about the flow of simulator games. When playing Stardew Valley, for example, it's easy to fall into a soothing rhythm of caring for your crops: harvest, sleep, repeat. Far from being boring, this kind of repetition creates opportunities to think creatively about efficiency and strategy. The same kind of obsessiveness that drives a person to, say, complete a challenging platformer can easily be turned to managing a soccer team through the financial and social uncertainties of Brexit.
With that in mind, we present a (far from complete) list of our favorite extremely niche simulator games. Some we've played, most we just marvel at from afar. All of them are weird and beautiful in their own way.
Of course, no game is complete without some kind of adversarial threat. The developer promises randomized events each time you play. You'll have to endure the agony of bad Wi-Fi, the mild inconvenience of delays, and the annoyance/empathy of listening to a crying baby.
While the game is built around raising crops and the equipment for doing so, you can also dabble in animal husbandry and try raising cows, chickens, pigs, sheep, and (at long last) horses. You can even tackle the difficulties of modern agrarian life with up to 16 other players in the online co-op mode.
All of these factors combine to build emergent narratives that vary wildly from file to file, giving you limitless ways to experience the world's most popular sport. There's an almost overwhelming amount of information and data available to you, so it can be intimidating for new players, but the long-term payoff is satisfying. Calling it niche may technically be a stretch as it consistently ranks among the most played games on Steam, but the barrier for entry (an interest in the sport, the learning curve, and the lack of action-based gameplay for a sports game) means Football Manager is certainly not for everyone.
The core game is largely the same from year to year, but the 2021 edition is probably the best and meatiest update to the franchise in a few iterations. It reworks the menus, adds a bit of complexity to match simulation (as well as advanced metrics like Expected Goals), and introduces a number of quality of life changes that make playing both easier and deeper.
Like the PC building simulator we explore elsewhere, House Flipper seems to put a lot of its stock into agonizing realism. You'll have to rewire those sockets, change the fuses, and clean the windows before you can hand over the keys to a buyer. But the game also features a dollhouse-like interior design mode. If you've ever played The Sims just so you could build a cool house, you'll find this game appealing.
Offworld might be one of the more fantastical simulations in our list. As such, it would be easy to discount. But consider that you must play a StarCraft-style RTS while also watching the price of 13 different resources constantly fluctuate on your screen. If that doesn't pass the wonkiness threshold for our brand of niche game, we don't know what does.
Before the first Far Cry came out back in 2004, modern-setting first-person shooter (FPS) games were dominantly just straight tunnels with enough color and flash to hide their linearity. Even the legendary Half-Life 2 fell into this design standard. Then, Ubisoft and Crytek spiced things up by giving players a dizzying amount of open environment and freedom.
Suffice to say, Far Cry laid the foundation for many open-world shooters and proved that freedom was more enjoyable than scripted FPS sequences. Far Cry sequels capitalized on this while other games refined the formula. So if you're looking for more after Far Cry 6, you might want to try out these games if open-world gun-toting is your idea of fun.
These games are a no-brainer for anyone fond of Far Cry's mechanics. Ubisoft is also responsible for this undying multi-million-dollar franchise and it sports the closest similarities to Far Cry. The big difference is that an Assassin's Creed title plays out in a third-person action view.
The Tomb Raider games have always had a good combination of adventure gameplay and elements of stealth and gunfights but at its core, it's about a western tourist wreaking havoc in third-world locales or other troubled off-the-beaten-path places. 2ff7e9595c
