I've recently rekindled my love for Katamari Damacy and it made me wonder if there's any other amazing cult classics out there that aren't talked about these days. What are your recommendations?

Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines. Dated, needs mods to run, but the fact that there's still a community patch being made for it after all this time says a lot. Haven't really heard much about it since the sequel crashed and burned, which is sad because no game has really given me the same atmospheric vibes. It was (is?) really special

Nothing really captures the atmosphere of a good WoD game quite like bloodlines. The combat is, let's face it, pretty dogshit, but the writing, worldbuilding, and especially the voice talent and direction are some of the best out there to this day. The game just oozes charisma and flavor, and the pacing of the main quest juxtaposed with the black comedy of so many of the side characters' goings-on makes it the kind of experience that just pulls you in.

I know Bloodlines 2 will eventually release, likely sometime in the next 2-3 years because paradox just began to spin up their socials again, but even if it weren't stuck deep in Devhell I get the feeling it just won't have the same punch B1 did. Granted, B1 was just as rocky on its own day 1 and it didn't pick up the cult following until well after release, and with the help of a dedicated, loving community that tore it down and rebuilt it from the ground up. We can only hope that community love is still here and willing to make B2 the best game it can be. Time will tell.
