Tell me what is the most recent game that you played that could be considered obscure to the average person. For me it would have to be cdda/cataclysm:Dark Days Ahead. This screenshot was made by me if you're wondering.

Levelhead is essentially the "Mario Maker on PC" people have been begging for and it released with 0 fanfare. The game is amazing and the devs put a lot of effort into it (including a ~10 hour campaign) but it just never got that many players.

There's still a ton of fantastic levels and a semi-active community, the game is a lot of fun, but in terms of most underrated games it's definitely up there.

Sounds interesting, looked it up and it's already in my library, must have been in a bundle. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try it. Check out N++, it's an excellent platformer with thousands of levels as well as online scoreboard/replays and level creation/sharing: https://store.steampowered.com/app/230270/N_NPLUSPLUS/

I do like N++ but I think it's a bit too minimalist for me. The levels all blend together and there isn't that much variety.

Hm, I really like the minimalism, it's clean and easy to read. I actually think there is tremendous variety in the levels and applaud the devs for their creativity, although visually they may seem similar at first glance.
