Nonsense, I've heard of every game on this list.
But that's probably because this is my second time watching this video.
*clap clap*
*slow clap* how canny
+Sean Knight vagina
+Japonezu' Gaming (DogeGames) Tenticle.
+Narwhale Japan
I wouldn't say that Grow Home and Hand of Fate are games no one has heard of, but they both are amazing
Exactly what I was thinking
Maxr00TheGreat i know right hand of fate is a good game its hard to believe that ppl havnt heard of it
List needed "Giants: Citizen Kabuto" "Warzone 2100" "Uplink" "Iji" and "RingRunner". Two of which are free for download right now (Warzone 2100 and Iji) and Warzone on top of that has online multiplayer.
Grow home I never played but looks very good
Yeah. Both of those games have gotten attention.
#14 sounds like a better no man's sky than the real thing.
Exactly
its actually really good. i tried it. just go download it.
I was thiking this as the game was being shown. Sounds like NMS but with less budget and more love.
i forgot the name of it a while ago and just spent a couple of hours hunting it down, its a bit hard of a game to find if you dont know the name
2:17 my favorite "Danger Dolan" quote. I miss when he spoke like this
Click here for the written version of this video: www.dangerdolan.tv/15-amazing-games-youve-never-heard-of
Marley Ress do you want 7 and a half cookies or something?
Dink Smallwood? Great game
Dear ***** you forgot about 1 game; Life is strange.
Go on and check it, because it realy deserves the 1st place.
***** yeah and plus your likely to run by it if you ever had to run steam
***** Or you know... Nerd3???
SYRSA will be so happy that he has gotten mentioned by someone as popular as you, Dolan!
Daniel Jones yes very
Daniel Jones That game has so much potential ;)
Daniel Jones This game is a joke, i remember watching it on the vinny stream, syrsa was mad at people it was funny.
Daniel Jones I think the vehicles and the atmosphere of the universe he's building are really nice and interesting, but I can't stand all the boob fixation. I used to listen to his music when i was younger and eventually ended up unsubscribing because of all the overly sexual images and the fear of getting caught. I can't help but feel that his world is built up 50% but big-breasted alien women, and I just can't take it seriously. I guess his explanation of breast milk being better for people than cow milk justifies it to some extent, but I still find it ridiculous that most of his art features a female character with tits the size of her head. All in all, vehicle and world design is great, character design is terrible.
Looking into it it seems like he's deleted all of his old videos. Why? I'd assume because people were constantly critizising him for his jug-centric artwork (can't really blame them to be honest).
Parad8n You seem to be afraid of breasts. Fear of getting caught? What are you, 12?
I don't really know what you're talking about, nor do I really care about this Syrsa guy or his game, I remember seeing it on Vinny's stream and it looked very boring.
LOL Syrsa. The guy who made that got in a heated argument with everyone who played the game and gave their opinion. Some people even posted "Hey is there an objective?" and he started flaming towards them. I asked him if I could play as a male in the future of the game and he started bashing me for being afraid of girls or something. He also makes alien porn.
Hey, I didn't hate him to start, but then he got angry at me for absolutely no reason so I may as well say some stuff here.
whatsurissuebro inb4 he replies with h8
Phoenix Wright Lol he's a joke, always has been. Doubt his breast milk-obsessed brain will ever produce a remotely decent game out of that... thing.
Meowski Lol.
Phoenix Wright He also made a song channel called "Scoutellite" where he made some interesting and well known tf2 songs. However, later he decided to SHUT DOWN the channel after _____ happened(theres so many stories of what happened)
Phoenix Wright The lore and game is good in my opinion, Juuuust minus the Colossal Breasts and weird obsession with Breast Milk O_o
I've played Reassembly.
By that, I mean I've played a LOT of Reassembly.
Also, no, it doesn't have vector-based graphics; it just has graphics based on the style of vector-based graphics. Otherwise, it wouldn't have or even need a setting for vsync.
+LukeDude759 it looks like captain forever
+LukeDude759 i love reasembly! ive put hundreds of hours in it (in the cover of offline mode)
+LukeDude759 Why would it not need a vsync setting if it would be vector-based?
+Aborysa Yeah, just because it's vector based doesnt mean it's drawn instantly.
+LukeDude759 I enjoyed playing that game on steam for a time. Made all the more fun with people (total strangers on steam) watching me play. I felt the bottom fall out of this game after a while though. I wonder if they added much more since release. A lovely little (or massive star destroyer station spawning!!!) ship building game, very similar to Captain Forever.
An amazing video game you've never heard of?
Spider Solitaire
omg Syrsa's game is mentioned. I'm so damn proud of him.
Sapphire Shard I've heard he's a damn weirdo so I don't know man.
***** Weirdo? Not really. He just has an odd fetish for big tits. But otherwise, hey that's his own thing. It's "weird", but not really disgustingly weird.
Sapphire Shard Don't most guys have a fetish for big tits?
Scarygamer345 I think he or she or whatever meant obsessing over big tits and drawing them on everything and everyone even though it's not particularly fitting. Or maybe that's just me, I don't know.
***** basically that
OMG Zerahypt?
I had absolutely no idea Dutvutan made an actual fully implemented game!
I love his artwork and the lore of the universe he's made and now i get to enjoy it for real.
Zerahypt actually looks incredible.
Thank you for making me aware of this.
+Danger Dolan GAMING I must say, of all the lists on RUclips of 'things you never heard of', this is the very first video I saw where I have never heard of a single thing on the list, and it gives me some very cool games to try out. Kudo's to you guys!
Cube World? It died down. );
PkmnTrainerMario stop
And got replaced with something better, Trove. One of Trion's F2P games.
It lagged and took many honours to gain 2 levels :/
What? Really..?
puffnisse never trust an early access
Grow Home looks stunning. The art style is just my type. I might look for it.
This is a fantastic list and quite frankly thank you so much for sharing!
I think I will be doing many of these on my channel now!
No de blob
That's like one of the most underrated games ever
And it's pretty awesome
Definitely!!!
You basically paint the city which has been inked by inkies and fight them back
It might not sound cool but,
Trust me it's cool if you play the game
Damn good game but tons of people have played it.
Splatoon isn't an original concept I guess. :/
MLG Gurdy When you are 2 MLG to play Isaac
The old games were the best like
GTA SA
Star Wars battlefront 1\2
The halo franchise
All these were parts of my childhood, though these days it's just, FPS and gangsta games -_-
GTA SA isn't as good as you remember it, your just nostalgia blind.
No you just didn't grow up on games and respected them for what they are.
GoopHug GTA SA had features that never made it to the next version. Changing your body type through excercise or improper dieting made the game unique and a gem within the series. Plus it arguably had the best story.
+John Chaplin thank you, at least someone else has a right opinion
Well someone didn't play enough games....
yay bunny must die is one of my favorite games, glad to see it on this list
I'm impressed, I'm really into indie games and stuff, I always watch these videos like "top 10 obscure/overlooked games" and I end up knowing 8 out of 10 of those games, but this time I only knew Bunny Must Day and Divine Divinity, good work.
Try the legendary starfy. It's really really good
Yea, I remember picking that game up for like 5 dollars and not expecting much. When I played it it was really amazing, the ending was awesome too where you had to mash your buttons as fast as possible.
Shrek The Ogre I got that game and it is one of my favorites
Shrek The Ogre Shrek is love, Shrek is life.
I remember having to beat that game for my friend because he wasn't able to button mash but honestly my favorite game to come out for a handheld in a long time I played it for ages
Give these games a shot, all of which are amazing, I promise. :)

Mario Kart is pretty underrated, it should be on the list.
Oh my god, is everyone blind? The title of the video, games you HAVEN'T heard of. Everyone and their Grandmother has played Mario kart.
hpcaperocks i havent
Why grandmother never played a video game...
hpcaperocks Don't worry, I got a good suggestion. What about Smash Bros? It's so underrated, that the 3rd entry in the series, "Brawl" tried to cater to more audiences with casual gameplay... it didn't work.
TrulyLegitGaming
this isn't about underrated games, and you should learn to read properly.
I would like to like this video multiple times, if i could.
one time for each new amazing video game you brought me into in a mere ten minutes. thanks so much :)
Battleforge - Best game I have ever played and I know tons of people along with myself who were brought to tears when it shut down. Thankfully a team is bringing it back with the BFReborn project.
CAVE STORY SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THIS VIDEO
I don't think it's obscure enough lol
i already knew what grow home was from Jacksepticeye
Pan kurczak BUT I DO. AND THATS ALL THAT MATTERS! DOLPHINS
***** yes.
BulletToTheKnee I knew it for Scykoh
I knew it from Chilled Chaos
From a perspective looking at the industry, I like seeing new games that blend different genres together (for better or worse). This proves how versatile gaming can be and what they are capable of with a little added polish. Whether the genre blends SpaceSim-FPS; SpaceSim-RTS; Platforming-Bullethell; Card-HackandSlash, there is still engaging gameplay, which proves that giving Players more features/options rather than the traditional ridged designing of game mechanics with linear options, can still be acceptable.
Divine Divinity is the best 2D RPG I have ever played. Glad to see it on this list! :D
What? Grow Home? Who hasn't heard of that game?
I haven't heard of grow home
Me
I was thinking the same thing 😂
+Henrik Heikkila ikr but jacksepticeye still remember him
I watch him everyday at 11:15 and 2:03
There is a game called ''Maplestory''. None of the modern day gamers mention it.
That's probably because just about everybody hates that game.
Maple story isn't really that great anymore though.
So have you heard of Runescape or Adventure Quest?
If you're serious, let me share this:
Maplestory is closing in on 10 years old (I'm sure it's older at this point) and has been losing appeal for years. Most of us don't really count it as "good" as much as a pass time activity.
I would know. 179 UA Marksman 165 UA Shadower 156 UA Bishop and a whole slew of other characters. Each of those UA characters required a 120 Knights of Cygnus character.
I know the appeal of MapleStory has been losing. And that might have been because of Big Bang, but i just said no one heard of it.
The v055/v062 versions of Maple were the best.
0:48,zerahypt is my favorite,the updates are getting better,damn syrsa,im glad you include this game to it,that means,game popularity boost
I've played and own Divine Divinitym, and I can confirm it's worth being on this list!
Shouldn't this video be titled "15 Amazing *STEAM* Games You've Never Heard Of"? With one exception, every single game on this list is only available through Steam.
+lurkerrekrul because its best for small development , its for them easiest way how to get noticed
+MrExelCZ And the fact that you have to have this huge digital distribution and DRM system installed on your computer just to play a game that's probably a grand total of 100-200MB is just incidental.
Well looks like steams got it right mate
+Chef Ness :3 Maybe for those who don't mind handing Apple-like control of computer gaming to a single company.
+lurkerrekrul If it wasn't for steam you could forget about quality games coming to PC lol
Who else felt stupidly special because they know Grow Home? o_o
me
me
+GamingBluePichu this video was a year ago
+GamingBluePichu *slowly raises hand*
Why did i never heard of ' Void Destroyer'???
played it for 50h and still loving it!
the fact you can make your own maps, and ships is amazing!
Excellent list I had never heard of Zerahypt
Where is the neverhood.
whoa
Red Sniper I Guess he "neverheard"of it. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Atomic Robo Tesla omg
Umm... where the hell is OKAMI!!!!!! That game needs so much more attention than what it gets!
....But this is a list for games on the PC
Did it specify that in the title?
Did this video say indie?
That game is fairly popular and well known.
True but is still widely unknown to many gamers
So, frog fractions.
I'll probably check every single game within this year. Thanks for the list
A good chunk of these games are in my Steam wishlist, thanks for letting me know they're worth it before I give them all my money lol :D
Number 8 reminds me of WoW (world of war craft) I dunno why
And 5
+Deadsky 67 Diablo maby, not WOW.
Grow Home is fucking amazing! it's so beatiful. If anyone hasn't played it, i would highly recommend it. i bought the game on release date and it was worth every penny and it's really cheap. only down side is it's length, and finding every thing and collecting every crystal sure will take up you're time.
Jacksepticeye played it
Shrek The Ogre preach it
Shrek The Ogre you're correct, ogrelord
Shrek The Ogre But then again so is 90% of popular youtubers *cough* pewdiepie
Jody Boles Wait, really? You're insulting him? It wasn't even an insult directed at you, it was at ClackSeptimPie!
I've heard and played most of these but The world ends with you should be on this list. It's so underrated in the JRPG genre and it's such an amazing, beautiful game.
some of these look absolutely amazing
First!
Actually I'm waiting for weeks in front of my Computer just so I can write the first comment! Oh my God Finally!!!
Sorry Breh but your a minute late :(
Berke Bayraktar no im first
ur not eaven close
No ones fucking cares
Berke Bayraktar I'm sorry your life sucks so much.
8:27 - did you actually just imply that a controller gives you better precision? XD
sinephase Over character movement, yes? You don't honestly believe he questioned the FPS capabilities of mice did you?
Akrilloth Mice give you better precision than a joystick ever can.
Ethan Sachs not when you can move by where you're looking I guess XD
sinephase For that game, Grow Home, you need the slide of an analog stick to move around much better and smoother than a keyboard can give you.
sinephase There's a TON of games that are much, much, MUCH more comfortable to play on a controller than with keyboard and mouse. KB/M is only better at MMO based games, FPS based games, MOBA based games, RTS based games. That's it. All other genres are much better on a console or at the very least on par with the controls. Never forget the consoles actually are DESIGNED for gaming while the PC has been repurposed to do just that.
I'm saying this as a primarily PC gamer. Master race my ass.
Enjoyed the video keep up the good work.
I hadn't heard of a one of them. Most of them do sound interesting. Thanks.
what about psychonauts
everyone knows and loves psychonauts, its an absolute classic
alot love it, but alot more dont know about it
Its basically in every "best games for PS/of the 2000/we played as kids/quirky kids" whatever list
Zerahypt is so much damn fun, the new updates added a lot of nice stuff.
Now i have heard of grow home and hand of fate before this but that's it, and they all look interesting, good video! :D
Divine Divinity really is a gem, and you've done the world a great service by mentioning it.
I've played 2 games on here out of 15. I practically knew all of these games before this video!!
Grim Dawn was a new one to me and looks great. Probably my next purchase once I finish the Age of Wonders latest expansion. Thanks Dolan!
Thank you for frog fractions. It was amazing.
Zerahpyt! I have been a fan of SYRSA for an eternity. He's such a cool guy and I'm probably one of his biggest fans.
Can we compile a list of little gems like these? I just feel like there are so many great games that almost noone has heard about, and they deserve more credit.
I'm glad Zerahypt was included on the list
Ok, I tried playing Froggy Fractions, and to say, it is AMAZING!
YO BUNNY MUST DIE WAS MY JAM. THAT FINAL BOSS THO.
Neon XSZ reminds me of a game that was made for PDA (pocket PC) way back, it was with these space ship thingies, and you had to race in tight corridors.
i played frog fractions after watching this and i dont think ive ever played such a simple masterpiece in my life
I've heard about Grow Home because of Game Grumps.
And Zerahypt through another top (insert number here) list.
I really enjoyed this list tho, great job!
haha, I enjoyed this a lot uvu
If you make such a list again, I'd say you should include dustforce :0
It's an amazing game but totally and underdog, and definitely worth the money!
A few of these look really good
Rest in Peace Zerahypt. We will miss you...
Ghost Trick.
To say it is underrated is understatement of the year.
Lots of great, polished games are made in GameMaker surprisingly, Risk of Rain, Valdis Story, Gods Will Be Watching, Gunpoint and Hotline Miami to name just a few.
Divine Divinity is most likely a marriage between Baldur's Gate with Diablo 2, a masterpiece that even today every role gamer would be proud to feel.
definitely added a few games to me steam wishlist.
paused video half way though to do a complete play of frog fractions. good game and worth the play.
A fantastic and a little old game many missed out on is 'Sacrifice' from Shiny. Fun and challenging game you can still get on steam. Even now I recommend it and I'm sad there was never a sequel.
I absolutely love grow home ^^ it's pretty amazing imo
You made me spend money! Grim Dawn looks super fun.
Thanks!
Newtonian physics in a space-dogfighting game? Yass!
Grow Home is one of my top faves!
I don't really know how popular or well known Intrusion 2 is, but it's a really good 2D action platformer. It was developed by one person for about 3 years but it is really well done. Definitely worth to check it out.
Didn't expect to see here Divine Divinity.Thought it was fairly known, because when it came out i had a lot of unexpected fun with it.
I remember long ago, Divine Divinity actually advertised on famous pc gaming magazines when it was released.
Sweet, I've got a couple new games to play now.
Merry Christmas, Alfred Robbins - now go check it out people.
I SPENT 5 HOURS LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO.
Reassembly is extremely addicting. I really can't wait for the Dev to update the game more
I just finished playing Frog Fractions. 12/10 would recommend.
The graphics of Neon Excess reminds me of those 3d images you’d see on ps1 games like tomb raider or the hit 90’s tv show reboot or beast wars.
Most amazing games I've ever seen
I feel like Sonny and Sonny 2 should be on this list. It's a pretty old game, I played it around 5 years ago but for a flash game it has quite a rich story line and it looks really well made and I loved it when I first played it, though I never finished it, this video reminded me of the 2 games so I've decided to go back to finish what I've started
Grim Dawn and Hand of Fate are two of my favorite games on steam.
Been playing Hand of Fate for a while now. It is fun once you start unlocking the upper levels.
Conan the Dark Axe? The game was only released in the UK and PC but it's amazing!
Rune Factory 4.
It's the greatest combination of farming, cooking, fighting, blacksmithing, armor making, dungeon crawling, chemistry, dating simulators and more ever created.
+crash979797 I agree Rune Factory is good , really underrated
Zeno Clash and Zeno Clash II are pretty amazing as well.
echochrome from the PSN store is wayyyyyy cool-
definitely a challenging puzzle game
I loved Frog Fractions when I was like 5 (Pretty sure that's the same game I played, it was very similar if not)
From the Depths is another very good one
I remember playing void destroyer as a kid I couldn't remember the name so thank you
definitly forgot Sacrifice and Giants : Citizen Kabuto. I really dont think many people heard of those. Absolute masterpieces. Especially Sacrifice.
another great underrated space shooter: God Factory: Wingmen. needs much more recognition
Good to see a list of "games you've never heard of" where I don't own 80% of the games mentioned.
Wish Savage Skies was on this list. That game was my childhood.
