Basically what’s a game that you’ve played that seemed so mind blowingly unique at the time but for one reason or another the game never took off and other developers didn’t pick up and run with it either.

I’ve never played it, but I can tell it’s not my thing from looking at it. That’s not really a mark against it.
I think with something like Death Stranding, it’s less a collection of cool mechanics and more the entire package. And I mean the whole thing, which takes a monster level of dedication on the development side. Mechanics, story, characters, atmosphere. Even down to HUD elements.
Like I said, I know I wouldn’t love the game, but even being an outsider looking in, I can tell it’s truly unique in every way.
Kojima reminds me of Queen. Every Queen song sounds different from the vast majority of other Queen songs, but they’re all distinctly Queen. Same way I feel about Kojimas’ game franchises
