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.

Splitgate. Its an FPS game that was a mix of halo and portal. An extremely well made, very balanced, arena shooter with well designed maps. The unique thing about the game is that you had a portal gun, and there select panels all over the maps you could place portals on, allowing you to traverse much quicker and adding to the skill ceiling. The gunplay was fantastic and the portalling was not buggy at all and worked so well with the structure of the maps and gamemodes. Cant fathom how it didnt last more than a few months/weeks.
