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.

Evolve

I fucking love the idea of being this big ass monster fighting alone against a team of players but sadly people didn't like it and it shut down

I played it a lot again after it got a semi revival when devs gave out keys so people played it again but because the game is discontinued it just didn't have much staying power for me

I did put a solid amount of hours in tho and i just wish someone would reattempt it

Dragonball: the breakers is using this idea. I also really enjoyed it back in the day, they really destroyed the game's reputation with the dlc model, unfortunately.
