Exanima

This is genuinely one of the most impressive games there is, truly amazing. Do not mind the negative reviews, if you actually read the game's description you can see the clear warning: "WARNING: THIS GAME IS ACTUALLY DIFFERENT!" And that's not just the developers being smug or trying to make their game seem different, they're just telling you the truth. Most of the negative reviews are from those who apparently didn't read the warning, or didn't take it seriously. A lot of people also complain about the speed of development, and in that the game is also different from your regular game, as its development is quite slow. However that shouldn't be a deal breaker. Look, Exanima is an exceptional game, there's nothing else like it on the market. And the tradeoff for that is that, well, it's hard to make. You shouldn't be buying the game expecting it to be a live service title with flashy updates every 6 months, this game is like fine wine. If I wanted a regular game, I'd just go buy a regular game. But this isn't a regular game. These guys want to make the game RIGHT, and they wont compromise anything for it, anything. (As seen by the 11 years in Early Access) Any other developer would've released it early, or heavily compromised core features. I know I haven't gone into any detail about what actually makes the game this impressive, but there's honestly too much to talk about and other reviewers have done better at that than I could do. And at the same time I feel like you should experience it for yourself. However, have in mind that the game is definitely not for everyone, and you may hate it at first. (Also this game is a technical marvel. Looks gorgeous, fully dynamic lighting, runs at capped 170 FPS 1440p native WITH SSAA ON HIGH at all times on my 3060 Ti. The engine, the physics, and the whole game is made fully from scratch. It still blows my mind to this day)
