The only unique games i know are Pikmin and NorthgardThe RTS genre has been almost entirely ignored ever since that MOBA trash took off.
I didn't knew about this Ace Attorney Spin Off.Legal action/ thrillers? The only lawyer simulators I know of are the Ace Attorney series and the Harvey Birdman game. Close comparisons made are the Danganronpa games which is just anime Among Us. We have a lot more detective games though, perhaps writing lawyer games is too challenging.View attachment 24672
Have you played L.A Noire before?I didn't knew about this Ace Attorney Spin Off.
* Cooking games are a bit lacking in my opinion. There is quality stuff like Cook Serve Delicious, Chefsquad, overcooked(More arcadey) and cooking mama, but for every 5 good games, there are 100 flash games (Girl Game garbage) esque shovelware. The ratio between quality and junk is very small. You learn how to cook.
* Strategy games focusing on managing businesses. Surely the genre has some quality outputs like Planet Coaster and Zoo and Two point hospital and academia and game dev tycoon but i feel it needs more quality variety.
* Games about building weaponery and armory. I personaly know a game by Flipside studios(The creators of Papa pizzeria) about making swords, but idk if it's ignored aspect in games.
Even though RTS games have way more depth and gameplay mechanics. Seems like topdown gameplay went the opposite of FPS games and started to simplify everything.The RTS genre has been almost entirely ignored ever since that MOBA trash took off.
It's perhaps the lack of the interest from developers.These ideas kind of describe the difficulty of making a game for an existing activity or concept. I thought a bit about it after making my post and these game ideas are usually problematic from a design point of view because they're just not very adaptable to games. Usually if you want a game on woodworking, or blacksmithing or cooking or architecture you'll find a lot of thinly veiled arcade games because the alternative would be too boring (3 hours of alternating between heating a piece of metal and hammering it, anyone?). So you have to grab the interesting bits and gamify them by adding timing, or remembering a sequence of actions, or something like that.
This sounds like game design 101, but the question can be rewritten as "Why are there some topics that have no games designed around it?" and maybe the answer is that they're just not fit for games, or we need better game designers or something.
The market needs a good arena shooter now more than ever. The fps genre is oversaturated with BR's and hero shooters. Halo Infinite was supposed to be a return to form but unfortunately it's failing at the moment because of poor choices made by 343. But right now, I'd reckon that people are starting to get weary of BR's and are looking for something with less RNG.Arena shooters.
I love Indian mythology, I read a lot of it while working on my own stuff. Smt got me into reading a lot of that stuffIndian Mythology. Indian mythology is very diverse and not that well-known in the west and suprisingly Indian gaming industry is not as strong as Japanese, American and Polish for a country of 1 billion people.

I hope Botw2 fills the niche since it will be more dark and mysterious than the previous title.More immersive exploration games like Penumbra/Thief. Not necessarily walking simulators; filled with danger and puzzles. I'd also enjoy more SS2 esque imsims.
I'd love to find a new RTS game (and I mean a new IP, not Age of Empires 25 or Civ LVI) that doesn't feel old or simplisticThe RTS genre has been almost entirely ignored ever since that MOBA trash took off.
