Does Demon's Souls count? This whole thing is horse shit if Demon's Souls doesn't count. It's playable on PC and is one of the most influential games of the 21st century. If we're not counting it then light the whole thread on fire. You don't leave it out. Dark Souls shouldn't count either.

gothic 1 (which I like way more than gothic 2 but not really a hidden gem on the codex)
atom trudograd


Basically just a top 20 list, only difference is I would swap toee/dark sun and fnv/underrail. maybe siege of avalon and atom aswell. Hidden gem is also difficult to interpret, because to me I only played dark sun SL in like 2023 for the first time. So it was a complete hidden gem for me but for people who grew up and played it after the gold box games it isn't hidden at all.

e- I swapped toee and new vegas.

Not very original, and pretty sad that my top would be games from early 2000's.
And while Archolos gave me some cheers, it's still just a mod from one of those games, so, really just a necro.
I've good hopes for Archaelund, Skald, Call of Saregnar, Drova, Urban Strife and Veterum to spice things up.

These are my handful of votes, the rest either i didn't play yet or 'not enough'

- Only PC games. Multi-platform titles like KotOR or Dark Souls are ok, but no 20-years-later ports like Chrono Trigger.

Will Dragon's Dogma be excluded from the poll? Or this restriction will be arbitrary held up again in a way that excludes 90% of jRPGs?

Whichever one triggers you more.

Man, I think they all suck in a way. Nothing compares to tabletop, sorry. Maybe it's me not remembering computer games as of late. I don't know.
