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.

Anyone play Brink back in 2011? It was a multi-player fps. I forget what the feature was called but you held a button while moving and you would automatically parkour over obstacles smoothly. But it was also skill based so you could traverse the same obstacles faster if you timed the button presses instead of just holding.
