Talking Point: What Are The Best 'Hidden Gem' Xbox Games You've Played In Recent Years?

These days, it's easier than ever to discover hidden gems on Xbox — partly thanks to how many titles are being curated by the ID@Xbox program, but also due to how many of them are also included as part of Xbox Game Pass.

In the past year alone, we've been treated to so many amazing lesser-known titles that many of us surely would never have discovered otherwise, with examples including Mullet MadJack, Blue Prince, The Alters, Abiotic Factor, Ball x Pit, A Game About Digging A Hole, and whatever else you might consider to be a "hidden gem" that you've played on Xbox.

Even if you don't consider those to fit in the hidden gems category, there's still plenty of other non-Xbox Game Pass stuff to highlight — how about the highly-rated narrative adventure Despelote (the game in the picture above) or the outstanding Rhythm Doctor that we've covered already here at Pure Xbox?

There are absolutely loads of possibilities here, and it's worth noting that a lot of under-the-radar games that could be classified as a "hidden gem" are currently discounted in the ID@Xbox multiplayer sale — titles such as Satisfactory, Deadside, Escape from Ever After and various others

Ultimately, the goal here is to try and collect as many hidden gem suggestions in the comments below as you can give us! We'd love to hear about the games that you think deserve more attention, regardless of whether they've been highly-rated or even achieved good sales figures or not. The more, the merrier!

Come and tell us what we should be adding to our Xbox wishlists!
