Not every great game gets the spotlight… but some leave a lasting impact anyway.

In Episode 22 of The Midnight Release Podcast, we dive into the world of hidden gems — the games that may not have had massive marketing budgets or mainstream recognition but delivered unforgettable experiences.

From retro classics to overlooked PlayStation 2 and Xbox-era titles, all the way to modern indie surprises, we break down the games that flew under the radar but stuck with us long after the credits rolled.

We also highlight listener-submitted hidden gems and discuss the games we believe deserved sequels but never got the chance.

Low hype. High impact. These are the games you shouldn’t have missed.
