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 ;-)

It was one of my favorites as a kid.  Probably more to do with the idea of being on a tiny planet in space and cool pictures.  I'd agree the story wasn't anything special.

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. ;-)

I went to my Steam Library, looked for things I would rate highly that were Indy and I'd expect to have low #'s of reviews.  I generally keep ones I liked in certain folders so I can find them if I want to play them again, vs. the ones I really didn't that end up in a folder named 'garbage.' and click on the 'store page' button.
I also checked GOG for the games I rated highly, then verified in Steam if they were low.
It did take about an hour to do that.  I could see it would be a herculean task for you with you extensive collection. :D
