Any kind of game
EDIT: changed from suggested to mentioned and made the title more clear
A game that I’ve never seen mentioned online but I played the shit out of is Metal Fatigue. RTS game with huge robots. Fucking dope
Star Goose
Xcom 2.
A friend recommended it to me because he thought I would like it. It’s my favourite game and I have 100% it.
I haven’t seen “The London Game” on the internet; that can be a lot of fun.
Most of the other stuff I like I’ve seen somewhere or other.
I played a game called Mindtrap as a kid, it was a box of different cards with puzzles on them.
The actual game is you played on teams to answer these riddles, but I just looked at the cards and tried solving them. I think they revamped it more recently.
Majesty.
It’s a strategy simulation game, a bit like an RTS, but you can’t directly control units.
Instead all units follow general archetypes. Rogues generally won’t spontaneously help you but will do most anything for money. Warriors will seek out monsters and lairs that have been discovered. Rangers will explore the map. Units will also do things like buying potions or upgraded equipment based on their class and intelligence.
As the player you choose what buildings to place and can offer rewards for exploring an area or killing something.
There was a sequel, but it’s a significantly worse game than the original.

Tzolk’in is my favorite game, I think. It is a board game that incorporates time in an interesting way for a worker-placement style game.
This has one of the best boards in my collection.
Literally any game I like is gonna have me seeking out the Internet community for it. Your question is kinda broken this way.
Each Anno Domini game consists of 336 cards, with a description of a historical event on one side of the card and the year (and sometimes specific date) in which it happened on the other. All Anno Domini games can be played as a standalone item or mixed with some or even all other editions.
In Anno Domini, each player receives nine cards (or fewer, if you want the game to be shorter) and may look only at the descriptions. In turn, players place a card on the table, trying to place their card in chronological order to those already present. Instead of adding a card, a player may claim that the order in which the cards have been placed is incorrect. In this case all cards are turned over and the correct years revealed.
If the order is correct, then the doubting player receives two cards and skips a turn. If the order is incorrect, then the previous player – who accepted the order as correct or made it incorrect through her own placement – receives three cards. The first player with no cards remaining in hand wins.
The Anno Domini game series exist only in German.
In Sound Mind, a really creative horror game by the makers of the popular “Nightmare House” mod. It has a great atmosphere, an interesting story, regularily goes on sale for 3 bucks, can be bought DRM free on GOG and has a fantastic soundtrack by The Living Tombstone (https://youtu.be/CBIQNiNBbYs ).
Also, there’s a cute cat in the game you can pet.
Image Fight on NES. It’s a top down scrolling shooter where you fly a space ship and pick up new weapons and attachments. I was terrible at it as a kid but I loved it and kept trying to progress further. I’ve thought about picking up a copy now but just haven’t gotten around to it
Haven’t seen it mentioned here, but my favorite game of all time is one that is Rarely mentioned - if ever,
The World Ends With You, originally for the DS, now on Switch.
MC Neku has 7 days to figure out wtf is going on in The Reaper’s Game, but he can’t remember anything.
Fun combat mechanics, the DS version had you fighting 2 combat encounters at the same time, one on the top screen, and the main one on the bottom screen. The sound track was amazing! I still have multiple soundbytes from that game as ringtones.
Legretto
I was introduced to the game by an Austrian woman I dated in my 20s and 25 years later remains at the top of my list of party games.
Ligretto is a card game for two to twelve players. The game in its current form was designed by Michael Michaels and published in 1988 by the German company Rosengarten Spiele. Since 2000 the game has been published by Schmidt-Spiele of Berlin, Germany. - Wikipedia>
That game looks pretty similar to a game I know as “Racing Demons”, played with regular playing cards
Tap Ninja: A Idle ninja-slayer game have more than 700 achievement.
Rusted Warfare: A RTS game.
Zortch: A Quake like boomer shooter.
