It could even be a youtube video or movie that you donāt think anyone reading this has heard of besides you.
Movies:
-
Kubo and the Two Strings. Some of the story elements are a bit too obvious, but the overall story is charming and the art style (stop motion with puppet-like characters) is just plain cool.
-
Kirikou and the Sorceress. Wonderfully weird with an interesting story
-
Triplets of Belleville. The entire movie is ātoldā without words, except for a single sentence right at the start and one right at the end.
Games:
-
Terranigma (SNES). Main characters revives / creates an entire world that was doomed ages ago. Itās kind of bittersweet when youāre done reviving the continents, plants and animals and then the humans start f*cking stuff up. Great music and visuals too, despite being 16-Bit style
-
Åkami. One of my all-time favorites but due to minimal marketing, not many people are aware that this game even exists. Charming art style and interesting gameplay concept.
Okami was really fun. I will say that going back to play it now the NPC talking sound the murmuring gets really old fast. I still enjoyed everything else.
Kubo was a BAFTA winner and Okami was IGNs game of the year winner. The rest I agree with, but those two seem really popular for an āunheard ofā list.
Maybe itās a regional thing thenā¦? Iām in Germany and noone I know of has heard about either one. I wouldnāt be surprised tho if those two got the attention they deserve in other parts of the world.
