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.

Surprised Rocket League hasnt been copied.

Also the Portal gun is unique

Splitgate did a great job of using the portal gun mechanic in an arena shooter. I played it on PC, but I kinda sucked at aiming with mouse and keyboard, so I could only win straightforward gunfights about 30% of the time, but I remembered playing Portal all those years ago. I usually managed to finish matches near the top of the scoreboard despite my shitty accuracy by thinking with portals™ and just constantly portalling around the map and catching people by surprise.

Starfield has a time travel mission like that actually haha. You can’t travel in real time though you travel at set points. And it’s more like traveling to alternate realities. Also Dishonored 2 has some really creative missions that have a similar vibe.

Darksiders 2 literally copied the portal gun but it’s way more limited.

Rocket League basically copied soccer haha. But I get what you mean, combining a sport with a car game.

I’ve seen some attempts to copy it but where they’ve tried to give it a slightly different edge or element. It’s RL’s simplicity that makes it so effective though.

I would love to see a game copying the time travel mission in TF2
Imo it was one of the best missions in the game

I want to say Dishonored 2 had the same thing with a single mission. Not sure which came first
