Before they gave us STALKER, they made a cult RTS. Cossacks sparks a real explosion of nostalgia today
RTSs are gone, or at least pushed aside by the winds of history and change, but we keep many of them in our hearts. One of my favorites, along with Stronghold or Original War, was Cossacks from GSC, which later gave us STALKER.

Icewind Dale 2 was a solid sequel without glitter. In hindsight, it turns out to be a great RPG
The first Icewind Dale from Black Isle was an interesting change from Baldur's Gate, and a so-so competitor to Diablo. Unfortunately, Icewind Dale 2 was left far behind by its rivals, which is a shame, because after some time, it is one of the best isometric RPGs.

A forgotten pretender to the jRPG throne. The Legend of Dragoon was supposed to compete with the legendary Final Fantasy
At the end of the 20th century, Sony spent more than $16 million on a jRPG that would stand toe-to-toe with the Final Fantasy series. The Legend of Dragoon didn't knock Square's games off their pedestal, but fans still dream of a sequel.

Although most video games glorify the heroic exploits of virtual soldiers, presenting war as if it were a great adventure, there are occasionally titles that attempt to present a more realistic picture of armed conflicts.

First and last such horror game from Ubisoft. In the forgotten classic from the Alone in the Dark 4 creators, the biggest enemy wasn't monsters at all
There was a time when Ubisoft's portfolio was truly diverse. From under the wings of the French publisher came a fairly successful survival horror, which, however, failed to put up an even fight against Resident Evil 4, released a little earlier.
