Streets of Rage, even if it's just for the music
The original GTA, it somehow has the atmosphere of 80s/90s that only VΓce City could kind of replicate (and multiplayer was fun)

Sentinel... From waaay back. Like, Commodore 64 age. I think it would be a perfect VR game, too.

Drakan series needs reboot. I played Drakan; Ancient gates. That game was so much fun. The seamless transition from fighting on a dragon to fighting on your feet. The next level spell casting where you had to trace out the symbol to cast. The lore felt really deep like there was a lot of secrets they never fleshed out and ever since Iβve had an itch that never got scratched.
kenshi is the post-apocalyptic life/ant sim that I never knew I wanted. There is no story other than what is in your head, and that's beautiful.
xracer - A WipeOut clone (would love some development on this)

Sauerbraten FPS (1990s fps distilled)
Lugaru and Overgrowth.
Yoku's Island Express. Before playing it, I didn't like pinball or search-action games (metroidvanias). I ended up loving it. I still don't really enjoy pinball on its own, but I now have a deep love for search-action.
It's definitely the best pinball-metroidvania postal service simulator available.
Giants: Citizen Kabuto
Sigma Star Saga for the GBA. Really creative mashup of an RPG and a side-scrolling shooter, with a cool weapon-configuration system thrown in. Definitely suffered a bit from platform limitations, but there's absolutely more that could have been done with the core concept.
Shockingly good writing, too.
Below the Root for C64.
An old PS1 fighting game called Unholy War. It had a lot of really unique mechanics I haven't seen since.
I wish Toonstruck would get its remaster and sequel.
I waited to see if anyone mentioned it, but, POD. A old 1997 racing game from Microsoft built by Ubisoft. You can get the gold edition on GoG for rather cheap but I would absolutely love to see a remaster or remake. Unfortunately I would rather it not be made by Ubisoft as I donβt want to be forced into a separate account login setup from Ubisoft.
Kingdom Under Fire. Still one of my all time favorite army battler games
