15 Best Hidden Gem Video Games Of The Decade

13. SOMA

There have been plenty of great, narrative-driven first-person games over the past ten years, including the likes of Gone Home and Firewatch, and it's an absolute travesty SOMA is never placed on the same level as those genre-defining giants.

That's perhaps because it was wrongly pigeonholed as a horror game closer to Layers of Fear or the developer's previous title, Amnesia, though.

That genre heritage is still there, and you spend plenty of time crouch-walking around tables to avoid the petrifying gaze of horrifying mechanical beasties in SOMA, but it's the storytelling and world building that makes the game so damn appealing.

Uncovering the mysteries of this world, which takes the form of an underwater base housing the last remnants of the human race following an extinction event, is tantalising, and features twists far too juicy to spoil here.

Just play it.
