I not only tried to find good games on steam but hidden gems that provide some kind of fun. Whether it be a master piece, a good laugh or something that has some potential.
Worst Game On Steam was a side series while working on What Went Wrong videos. I've always had nostalgia for some of the weirdest games. Many of the so called "Worst Game On Steam" videos featured games that I would consider hidden gems for all the wrong reasons. Some are the definition of it's so bad it's good.
But I've also found some amazingly underrated games that deserve some show and tell. So now, the goal is simple, I'm trying to find Good Games On Steam.

I'm gonna guess Barbotine is about social anxiety and self worth? The MC becomes more and more deformed-- how they feel about themselves, ugly and disgusting, while the enemies are made of flowers and marble-- things people consider beautiful. Every time they look into the mirror they feel even worse about themselves which leads to them digging. I feel like it could be the MC's ties to other people being broken and letting their negative feelings take over; digging themselves deeper into a a metaphorical hole of misery. Alternatively you could also see it with a more positive ending-- that them breaking the flower-marble people and the mirror is them giving up society's expectations of beauty and they're breaking the cycle of self-hatred. idk though lol

That 9 days game looked pretty interesting, obviously not in a 'gameplay' sense but the ideas that the game tried to include as 'features' was pretty good. Can't say I know of many games where you start out in a dungeon crawler type game and end up being able to fly through space and blow up planets in game. Fun video but sucks that most of them were broken more so than had any good qualities.

The potential for 9 days is insane. Imagine if the idea had been picked up by a proper game studio with proper funding. If those ideas where fully realized to their true potential, it could deadass be one of the best games ever. Like, imagine dark souls, but you literally turn into god in the end and destroy entire planets.

ok may be way off base here because I saw other people talking about anxiety with the first game and that makes a lot of sense but there was one piece of artwork showing lungs during that and it made me wonder if it had anything to do with addiction/attempting to quit smoking, the mirror would represent the character superficially understanding that whatever they are doing is bad for them but they keep digging their grave further, and the flower people would be like the roots in the lungs, with fighting them being dealing with withdrawals and everything trying to quit. Just my interperetation though.

I recently played 9 days myself and I feel very much the same way: I think the ideas there are excellent and once you get flight, the game really opens up to that power fantasy feeling it advertises. However in execution, it’s VERY rough around the edges and desperately needed more time in the oven as well as play tested. The first hour or so before getting flight can be genuinely infuriating. It was released as a 1.0 game and it’s nowhere close to that, but the dev seems adamant in making sure the game gets polished up. And what’s funny is I think you’re playing a more recent version of it. When I played, the hoverboard was even more broken. You’d get on it and barely move two inches before it sputtered out of control and just despawned. I don’t remember structures being that broken, but I do know it had major issues with pop ups. It’s a decent project for a one man team, but I definitely think the reception would’ve been better if they released it in early access instead of a 1.0
