Zeno Clash is not at all obscure, it was pretty well known when it came out, but it would probably be a perfect game for Ross. Forgotten, but if you remind people of it, they will remember.

Honestly I have no idea, played so many games. But... I guess I would pick Nier Automata as it does a lot of really, really cool stuff. Another game I would pick would be Earthbound, again: does lots of cool stuff. And Papers, Please. And Super Meat Boy. And Grim Fandango. And Neverhood. And... Aaaaah. You see? Played way too many games, I could go on and on.

Hmm, I guess I didn't know the meaning behind the word "obscure" xD I always thought it means something similar to "weird". Now that I looked it up I see I was mistaken. So I take back what I said - by "obscure" I really meant weird, strange, uncanny, etc. (Although Ross does cover a lot of obscure games as well.)

Well, for me the best episodes are the ones that cover obscure or unique games. Dementia, Messiah, Phantasmagoria 2, Veil of Darkness, Realms of the Haunting, Requital, and so on, and so on. There are some exceptions, but those exceptions still have something kinda obscure in them, like with A New Beginning, which at least has an interesting enough plot (and a protagonist). And just look at what Ross covers in his Game Dungeon the most - it's mostly some weird and/or old games. I don't think I'm mistaken by calling Game Dungeon the "obscure games panel" I literally watch his videos to see some weird shit, with a few exceptions -honestly I didn't think the Sonic episode would be as enjoyable as it was, but Ross found enough weird shit in it to make it interesting. Also, Game Dungeon's intro alone just gives those "you're gonna see some weird shit, folks" vibes

Oh, thanks a lot, I'll email him about this. Don't worry, there's plenty to talk about when it comes to Hype. Honestly, for a "children" game the story is pretty big and a serious one at that, you're sent back by a Black Knight to the past so he can wreak havoc upon the land and with the help of a novice magician you try to go back to your time to defeat him, there are 4 time periods, the 4th being your own to which you want to go back, and you change the time periods frequently back and forth in order to solve some puzzles, there are a lot of smaller plot points throughout the whole game, a lot of characters, good and bad and just a lot to do. You see the land change, characters grow, including your fellow magician, who at one point even grows a beard and it's just a delight to see everything change when you jump between the periods. To be honest, in it's structure it resembles Soul Reaver and it's a similar game in some aspects, I would say. This game was made by Ubisoft around the time when Rayman 2 was released and they did a very good job, it's a budgety game, but it's really pretty great.

Yeah, I must agree, although I think it's because the games he talked about recently just werent that obscure. Sonic, on the other hand, even if not obscure at face value, was obscure enough with its gameplay mechanics to end up in a great, imo, episode. I didn't like Daemonica though, but that's because I honestly couldn't follow the game's plot very well - Ross's summaries of the plotpoints were a little incoherent to me and the whole game is just a mess.

Honestly, it's such a little jewel, and it's a VERY interesting video game through and through. I'm sure some of you guys played it, I hope that some day Ross takes a look at it and maybe makes a video about it. It's perfect for Game Dungeon - lots of charm, pretty good gameplay, very interesting storyline with time travel and all this in a Playmobile game. Ross, do yourself a favour and play this game!
