a trio of Square Enix games: FF7 Rebirth, FF16 & Forspoken. I enjoyed all three immensely and wish they sold better. Square Enix was done dirty this generation by gamers :snoop: Rebirth is genuinely one of the best games released this generation and i'm not sure why it didn't take off. Forspoken I think was harmed by the anti-woke brigade online for daring to have a black female lead character :rudy: the combat and movement was amazing & unique tho. it's such a shame that game underperformed because a sequel building upon what they started in Forspoken 1 would be some mindblowing shyt if given the chance

I also really liked Anthem and the Avengers game. They were flawed (mostly due to lack of content) but combat was awesome in both of those games. I wish they didn't flop so we could've got more content for both and watch them flourish. it's a shame because both had real potential. The interceptor gameplay in Anthem is genuinely one of the GOAT third-person shooter experiences i've played in a game :gladbron:

Titanfall 2

I only bought this game cause a kid I worked with got a PS4 at the same time and hyped it up. No one else I knew played this.

I much prefer this game over Apex Legends. I wish Respawn could make an arena shooter with the mechanics from TF2. I liked the gun combat over the Titans. The titan only mode was ok to play when bored.

EDIT: WTF THEY UPDATED THE GAME LAST YEAR:damn:

Sleeping Dogs: My favorite game of all time. Love the story. Love the fighting. Just love the game. But like the OP mentioned Square Enix, and by proxy UFG just caught some real bad breaks. :francis:
