I've been recently been thinking about Arkane Studio's Prey which is a immersive sim, with a pretty good rogue like dlc, that probably has one of the strongest hooks of any game I've played. If you liked Halflife, System Shock, or Deus Ex it's definitely worth a play.

Are there any titles that might not have been commercially successful that you feel everyone should give a shot?

I've been interested in Soulslike games and got Code Vein on sale recently. I think I'm about halfway through and it's pretty good. Playing at the 2nd hardest difficulty, dying here and there but also one or two shotting most bosses, which suggests it's found a good sweet spot for difficulty where it's not overly punishing but also not trivial, though I kinda wish I had started it on the hardest difficulty. I'm not sure how popular the game was but I suggest it.

The ultimate anime waifu creator. I'd also recommend giving it a try for any souls fans out there. Also don't be ashamed if you look up a guide on the cathedral.

Haha walking into the cathedral was a cool gaming moment. I get there and am looking around, wondering who could have even built this, and then Louis asks "How is this even possible?"

They did a pretty good job with the follower conversations. Yeah, the random ones can get repetitive, but it added a bit more depth when Louis voiced what I was thinking. In another (annoying) area, as you get to the end, he says he hopes we're done here soon.
