10 Hidden Gem Video Games That Would REALLY Benefit From Remakes

The god game genre is one that has seen some truly iconic titles. 2001’s Black & White, for instance, lent a fantastic moral element to the player’s actions as they expanded and developed their realms. Two years before that, though, on the 64DD in Japan, Doshin the Giant was exploring similar notions in an even more unique way.

Unlike in many god games, the player takes the role of Doshin and controls him in a direct manner. In this way, Doshin explores the open landscape, where he can interact with the villagers who live there as he sees fit.

Love and Hate can both be accrued from them, depending on whether you’re tending to their needs and keeping them happy or unleashing largely unwarranted fiery fury upon them. Just achieve your objectives, however you’d like to go about it.

Doshin the Giant arrived on the GameCube in 2002, and is perhaps one of the most fascinating cult releases in the system’s history. Its adorable cartoon visuals would hugely benefit from a remake, its campaign could be expanded, and most importantly, it could garner itself the audience it deserves.
