Someone posted elsewhere asking for sub 1000 reviewed Steam games that
are unique.  I had quite a few, so I thought I'd share.  I know I've
posted about all these before, but we have new people since most of
those, so here you go:

Cosmochoria - The Little Prince (small worlds) sci-fi 2d side roguelite,
this one is the most under-reviewed for how good it is, best on my list,
and top 3 roguelites I've played. 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. Very
silly, and really it's more like Gamma World as the supers are in a post
apoc world and are mutants. 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. ;-)
