4. Cubivores
Cubivores was one of those games I read a lot about at the time but never got around to playing. Released over a decade ago, it seemed like a truly absurd affair, in which you controlled a cube shaped animal and attempted to survive the process of natural selection. As you progress, you could mutate your Cubivore and procreate, having offspring that you could continue to play as. Cubivores are interesting because their art style is quite similar to the sort thats popular with indie games now. Its cube based style was years ahead of games like Minecraft, and another game in this series could easily fit in and capitalize off that graphics trend. Another comparison of note is the gameplay similarities to last years
Tokyo Jungle, an excellent survival game in which you also played as multiple generations of an animal. While Tokyo Jungle didnt make the biggest splash upon its release, its made up of a number of trendy gameplay elements, such as permadeath and survival, that easily translate over to Cubivore. Its easy see a modern version of Cubivore making a bit more of a splash in todays gaming scene.
