EDIT: This is what I'm talking about. Not a productive conversation. You've convinced yourself that every failed game dev deserved failure, and all you have to do to prove it to yourself is make a half-assed complaint about every game you see.

Send me an e-mail and I'll just message you every game I come across that should have been a hit and wasn't, once you get tired of it you can block me

An example of a game I think should have been a success but wasn't is Counter Spy released for the PS4. It's a really fun game and just stumbled on it in the PS Now catalog.

This is a great example! I took a look at the trailer and I think the artstyle and gameplay looks really interesting. I took a closer look at it looks like reviewers at the time had a lot of technical issues. I wonder if those issues are now fixed. Did you play it on the PS5?

I played it on a regular ps4 and there were no bugs.

Why can't you share it here, on Hacker News, for everyone to see? These games deserve more recognition. Please, I want to be proved wrong here.

How about much of Obsidian's catalog pre-Pillars of Eternity

Do you mean Neverwinter Nights 2? Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords?

KOTOR II, Alpha Protocol, Fallout: New Vegas are all well-regarded by fans as cult classics more or less, but suffered from typical Obsidian bugs and poor sales and/or critical reception.
