Any games with less than 1000 total Steam reviews you've enjoyed and thought more people ought to know about? Not a hard limit, just a guideline for what could be classified as "undiscovered" on Steam, assuming it wasn't released yesterday.

I would recommend:

  • Full Bore, a cute block-based puzzle platformer. Solid mechanics, level designs and even a somewhat engaging story. ~~Unfortunately hasn't been on a sale since 2021 according to steampricehistory.com, while it was frequently reduced to €2-3 before that. Not sure I'd recommend it to everybody at full price, but IMO it's one of the best indie platformers I've played.~~ edit: Did someone email the creator of Full Bore or something? It's suddenly on sale again, for the first time in ages :) Go buy it!

Some games I thought were pretty good that got somewhat looked over:

Dandara: Trials of Fear -- Somewhat Metroid like but with a unique limited movement system.

The Dwarves -- An ARPG with a bland title (based on a book I guess) that I think made a lot of people overlook this but the gameplay was well done.

Echoes of Aetheria -- Typical JRPG which isn't for everyone but I enjoyed it.

The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians -- Similar to Grimrock (though maybe not quite as good) but still fun.

Figment -- Adventure puzzle game with some surreal and cutesy art, pretty well done.

Full Void -- Inspired by games like Out of this World, it was short but very cool.

Grandpa's Table -- It's not a crazy hard brain teaser, just a relaxing sliding puzzle game with great music.

Rise of the Third Power -- Another JRPG that had some fun writing and combat.

Seedlings -- A Godot engine puzzle platformer with Samarost vibes. The detail put into the story at the ending really surprised me.
