What is a really fun gameplay mechanic or experience you had/have while playing an underated, unknown game? Or a game that might be known but not known for having fun in the way you do with it.

I’ll go first. Driv3r by unlocking the built in cheat code called infinite mass. It allows you to smash into vehicles and send them flying. Using the motorcycle makes it the funniest and most fun to play.

    It’s not unknown, but I think it’s an underrated mechanic: in God Hand, the better you do, the more the difficulty increases. If it gets too much and you want to lower it back down, you can grovel and beg enemies to go easier on you.

    I wish more developers tied difficulty change to in-game actions like that.

        Yeah. Back during the pandemic Abby Russell played RE4 on Giant Bomb and chat was pretty much constantly losing it over how much ammo she was using. But the game’s drop tables accounted for that and she basically was just playing Gears of War for all intents and purposes.

        Was fascinating since basically everyone who has ever played that game focused on headshots and conservation rather than just unloading.

        But it also speaks to how this is usually implemented. It is more about making every playstyle viable rather than actively getting the hammer and nails if it sees you are getting a bit too excited during a combat sequence.
