Someone labeled it the real No-Man's >Sky. It's got some issues, but you can play until the end just fine. My god, it is the Little Prince. I mean, no, not really, but probably as close as we'd ever get nowadays. (I never really liked Saint-Exupéry's book. It seemed such a pointless tale. But it had a unique and memorable style and the game seems to capture some of that. Not much... but some ;-) >Super Hero League of Hoboken - Very old 'supers' turn based rpg.

I remember one of them has something like >the ability to see what's in a closed pizza box or something like that. This is an old classic from 1994. It might only have low reviews today, but it was quite well reviewed back when it was new. I actually visited the real-life Hoboken just to compare it to this game (unsurprisingly, it's completely different from the post-apocalyptic version... even if it is in New Jersey ;-) >What are your favorite games with low numbers of reviews? I wouldn't even know where to look to see how many reviews any of the game I play actually have. ;-)
