Plenty of amazing games go unnoticed and are not played widely for various reasons. Maybe it’s a diamond in the rough, or the marketing wasn’t there, or it could be a game ahead of its time. For this monthly series, I’ve asked my fellow writers on SUPERJUMP to pick a game they think is deserving of a chance in the spotlight. Let us know your favorite hidden gems in the comments.

At the dawn of each new year, when I look back at my gaming journey through the previous one, there's always a common thread: most of the games I played weren't released that year. I'd wager this is true for a lot of gamers, whether due to a lack of time, the high price of Day 1 releases, or an ever-expanding backlog thanks to copious digital storefront sales. A good problem to be sure, but one that isn't usually reflected when the annual tradition of Game of the Year awards rolls around.

We knew our team would be busy with holiday things so we gave everyone a bit longer to get in with their recent gaming adventures. As usual, there's a bit of everything from the gaming spectrum represented by our team, from visually unique indies to Star Wars.

The venerable brick-breaker has existed in some form on nearly every home console and PC since the 1970s. The genre's roots, of course, lie with the first "game" ever made, Pong, but the idea of bouncing a ball off a paddle to break things truly began with Breakout and took off from there. After the 8-bit console era, the genre stagnated quite a bit, with Arkanoid still being the gold standard more than 35 years later.

Whenever I play a game for review, I try to go in “blind", eschewing nearly all coverage and even descriptions of the game. My hope in doing so is that my opinion will be unaffected by those of others, and I can experience the game with fresh eyes and an open mind. Occasionally this practice gets me in trouble, leaving me unprepared for what I’m about to face, and this was certainly the case with Sulfur.

Nostalgia is a double-edged sword. By definition, it carries a sadness and melancholy for good times gone by, never to be reclaimed. Luckily, nostalgia in the video game world often means reliving joyful hours spent with classic games and platforms, memories that still echo in the present as the evolution of those past days informs the creations that we enjoy today. When the PlayStation 5 debuted in 2020, it came with the rarest of modern-day game genres: a free pack-in title.
