What’s the most innovative game hook that never took off or got copied? (alien.top)

Basically what’s a game that you’ve played that seemed so mind blowingly unique at the time but for one reason or another the game never took off and other developers didn’t pick up and run with it either.

Starfield has a time travel mission like that actually haha. You can’t travel in real time though you travel at set points. And it’s more like traveling to alternate realities. Also Dishonored 2 has some really creative missions that have a similar vibe.

Darksiders 2 literally copied the portal gun but it’s way more limited.

Rocket League basically copied soccer haha. But I get what you mean, combining a sport with a car game.
