Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

The Legacy of Kain series. Very much slept on. And to make things worse, instead of making a finale game to wrap the story up, they worked on two different projects in the same IP that did not drive the story forward and ended up being scrapped anyway.

I like the series so much that once upon a time I decided I would start playing through it again if I ever became terminally ill.

The original on PS One was a kind of adult Legend of Zelda. Although instead of replenishing health with hearts, you just sucked the life out of tortured prisoners chained to wet dungeon walls.

The voice acting was absolutely superb, especially on the Soul Reaver games. RIP Tony Jay

I received a form from Crystal Dynamics in 2021 where they were basically evaluating/asking the fans what they liked about the games and what they wanted to see, and what they didn't want to see. No idea if anything's going to come out of that, but I'm not holding my breath.
