What are some noteworthy games that are not available through the major platforms?
Define “major platforms” and “noteworthy” however you like, but I’m thinking of this as stuff you can’t find on Steam/Origin/GOG, etc. I’m interested in people surfacing things like small itch.io...
Define “major platforms” and “noteworthy” however you like, but I’m thinking of this as stuff you can’t find on Steam/Origin/GOG, etc.
I’m interested in people surfacing things like small itch.io projects or standalone downloads from the creator’s website or abandonware that’s never seen the light of day in digital distribution or cool romhacks — anything that’s worth a look but that someone would really have to go digging in order to find.

I'm not sure if posts like these are allowed on Tildes and I usually don't do those but Prey is one of my favorite AAA games of the past decade so I couldn't resist posting. It's crazy they're giving this out for free!
Basically, this is System Shock 3 in anything but name. It has all the FPS/RPG elements, the space horror and enough new ideas (which I try and not spoil but any trailer/review should give you a taste) to make it more than just a nostalgia trip. I can really, really recommend it to people who are looking for a big game with lots of ways to play and intense emergent gameplay. Newer games in a similar style include Bioshock and Dishonored, so if that's something you like definitely check it out!
