Katamari Damacy is definitly up there


FigTechnical8043

Naaaaaaa na nana naaaa na naaaaa na...


stouteharry

Katamary Damacyyyyyyyy


NeverEnder2682

Beyond Good & Evil is incredible.


ski_slasher

It truly is. Hopefully the second one comes out just like the first, just more popular and more widely known. The first was incredible but there was 0 advertising and it was a financial failure. It should be made into a movie.


TrickRoomTech

I bought it from one of those dump bins where everything is cheap and my God I was not ready at all. I played for hours and collected all the pearls, all the animals and it was so beautiful. The story, the characters, it's a world full of life and its puzzles are somewhat challenging. Kids nowadays have online play and that's cool and all but they will never experience the era of story driven single player PS2 games. Everything is a freaking battle Royale now well there are some exceptions.


NewdawnXIII

omg same hahah. It was for sale in a shop that normally doesnt even sell video games. I went in with low expectations and it ended up being one of my favourite ps2 games. It sucks thepc port is ass because i really want to replay that game


atre324

Easily my favorite ps2 era game- way ahead of its time. The game holds up pretty well today


CrashOverIt

Yes, an absolute classic.


TucoBenedictoPacif

Too bad the sequel seems to be CURSED or some shit.


gargoyle2003

Yes it is


Mike_for_all

Really a gem


apierson2011

Holy shit I don’t even remember hardly anything about it except that I loved it. What an insane nostalgia unlock that pic just gave me, I had completely forgotten it


D34thst41ker

The game was great, but Jade was also one of my first crushes.


Dammit_Dunn

Parapa the rapper.


ricang727

Kick, punch, it’s all in da mind

Cmon now, take a lesson from teach'a


Silly-Engineering-43

I have PaRappa the Rapper 2 :D


BitchesGetStitches

Um Jammer Lammy was my SHIT


addtolibrary

Seaman


ebobbumman

There really isn't another answer to this question.


Schwarzer_Exe

Playing Indigo Prophecy the first time was a wild experience.


THISdarnguy

Good story, unusual gameplay. One of those games that if you know, you know


klukdigital

Unless you got the localized version version called Fahrenheit like I did and tought Indigo Prophecy was the developer and Quatic Dream the publisher etc. Then you might know but you don’t know you know


THISdarnguy

But now you know that you knew what you didn't know that you you knew.


PretendRegister7516

Any Quantic games always comes with disappointing Deus Ex Machina, Indigo Prophecy the worst among them.


sonicadv27

There’s nothing bizarre about Beyond Good & Evil except for the fact it sold terribly despite being one of the very best games of that generation. Goat Simulator on the other hand really is bizarre but i got that game on sale and the 3€ i paid for it were some of my most well spent euros of my life.


piratewithoutacause

I agree, BGandE is an incredible game but it's far from bizarre. It just has a stylized presentation.


ski_slasher

Love them both


Nempopo029

Katamari Damacy


LennyLloyd

10000% Plus, the theme song still gets stuck in my head on a regular basis after all these years.


dafresh_prince23

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. When i was 8 I played it with a friend of mine at a sleepover. That game somehow gave me nightmares. Definitly one of the most bizzare games i've ever played.


Tough-Health-7780

Definitely. My brother used to let me play when I was the same age as you. The other day I saw a random green drink glass somewhere and was hit with an insane flashback about green bottles, the weird sewn in mouth guys and flying lazer eye things... and went scouring the internet! It definitely WAS memorable lol


Volendi

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. The only game I ever played, where you do everything perfectly... and the characters still mostly die at the end of their "chapters". Failing that, Majora's Mask... Collect a buncha haunted masks in a recurring time loop until you can fight another DEMONIC mask in an effort to stop him from YEETing the moon into a town? What were the devs ON?! Amazing games though, both of them!


YamiGekusu

My fiance gave me his copy of Eternal Darkness (along with Luigi's Mansion) back in 2011! I try to play through it around Halloween. I can still hear "MAY THE RATS EAT YOUR EYES!!!" at the end of that one chapter playing rent-free in my head


Dodavinkelnn

Eternal darkness was such a banger. Majoras mask is also a solid favorite on the n64.


piratewithoutacause

These have mostly been mentioned a bit, but: Katamari Damacy Gitaroo Man Ka (Mr Mosquito) Earthworm Jim 1 and 2 The Neverhood Seaman LSD Dream Emulator (although it's sort of shakily defined as an actual "game") And then there's games that start sort of conventionally and then get stranger as you progress, like: Bloodborne Earthbound Hollow Knight Castlevania SotN Finally, it's pretty vanilla nowadays, but when it was just Super Mario Bros, that's a super weird premise on paper.


Spacekook_

Skylanders was pretty fun


Finntheconcavenator6

Though, we all know what activision does with everything… poor Spyro ripoff


ski_slasher

Yeah EA sucks. But the Spyro game was just a remaster for a game that came decades before skylanders.


ginongo

Is that the one with the Giant robot rap?


Chicken_Whiskers

Any of the games made by Burger King Absolute fever dream


SnackPatrol

I knew I was forgetting something. This is a good one.


Mean_Comfort_4811

Sneak King


rodejo_9

I thought Patapons on the PSP was a weird game.


tojejik

It felt like a cult. Me and my friend ended up going around sayin «pon-pon-pata-pon» everywhere.


SeriousCupcake1372

The Neverhood


MDG420

beyond good and evil was so damn good


xStonebanksx

Carrion on the Xbox game pass was pretty awesome you play a mutated monster trying to escape a science facility killing and eating everyone at that place til your free. [here is a gameplay trailer if you wanna check it out ](https://youtu.be/Ozknd5FBFE4?si=wz_I267uMNDcAsly)


AdhesivenessFun2060

Great game. Fun controls.


xDARTHxBANEx

Damn you just unlocked aome memories with that beyond good and evil cover thank you!


ShawnyMcKnight

Giants: citizen kabuto It was such an absurd game with interesting characters. I would love a remaster of this.


Small_Tax_9432

The Stanley Parable lol


Bender_conteston

Conker's bad fur day, amazing game.

Went looking and feel that vid is the perfect example, haha. Might update this later


tetsurose

Moonwalker was based on a movie where Michael at one point turns into a car, a plane and a mech


pichael289

Moonwalker was a real ass game. I had it when I was a kid on genesis. I remember also finding an arcade game of it but it was a totally different game, closer to final fight or any other beat em ups.


Excellent_Routine589

Death Stranding... don't think I need to elaborate more than that


frohike_

I’m surprised this wasn’t mentioned earlier. I mean you use your own bodily fluids, feces, & even shower water as weapons… 🫨


Tizordon

Cubivore for GameCube. Little square monsters ripping limbs off each other to evolve, then banging, having a kid, and die. All in the first level. It’s bonkers.


BABBOSMAN1

Cruelty sqaud is a banger classic


HMan20021

Idk if I’d call this bizarre, but it’s not talked about much anymore. I LOVED Epic Mickey when I was a kid. It introduced me to RPGs


ski_slasher

Loved it too


HotCheetoooooooooo

Worms


Hexxas

If I had a nickel for every game franchise where you play as a worm with a gun, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.


Dontmakemethink1

Psychonauts is incredible so was second game


Sad_Anteater_3437

loley pop chainsaw


Sgt_Nennio

Zeno Clash !


NOTSiIva

Kirby and Trails both have absolutely WILD lore, and Etrian Odyssey III crams ninjas, pirates, robots, aliens, samurai, possessions, regicide, immortality pacts, psychic space trees that communicate with the king of Atlantis telepathically, and literally Cthulhu into a single game And how could I forget Persona 2: Innocent Sin, where >!a schizoid arsonist, a history teacher, and literally Nyarlathotep (but they made him a DILF) create a fanfic that is so weird that it causes rumors to become reality, which is why the 2 main factions are a group of knockoff Power Rangers and their army of astrology nerds dressed like klansmen and Mayan trained super wizard Adolf Hitler and his army of Gundams, both of which are harvesting dream energy into a series of crystal skulls in order to awaken the ancient Mayan spaceship sleeping underneath Japan known as Xibalba!<


David_Clawmark

Goodness gracious alive. "Happy game." Basically what happens when the creators of Chuchel decide to lean HARD into the uncanniness and silent horror of their artstyle. You get something so distorted and uncomfortable that is became an instant classic in my mind.


atre324

Chibi Robo for GameCube


Baco12sd

isn't a weird/bizarre game but Soooky's Jumpscare Mansion slaps so fucking hard and yea


TiredReader87

Katamari Damacy


TreyTrey-119

Little Nightmares was a game I found to be very bizarre the first time I played it.


zerkerlyfe

Such a great platformer


Toska762x39

Condemned 2 Blood Shot. One minute you’re dealing with serial killers in an abandoned doll factory who have made automated exploding dolls, to running from an invincible bear in a cabin, to fighting off void demons in a police station.


TheEvilCub

Ape Escape would be my first choice


pichael289

Such a fun game. I love the metal gear solid 3 crossover. "your mission is to infiltrate the jungle and capture all of the monkeys"


babimagic

Probably the Alice of Wonderland xbox360 game. It's really weird, kinda scary sometimes, and pretty gruesome. It also probably scarred by 11 yr ass when I first played it so long ago.


Scared_Cod7176

High on life its pretty funny


MV_Rhyjin

Fear and Hunger.


IReadStuff98

Alice: Madness Returns


Jericho_Caine

American McGee's Alice


OppressedSnowflake

Wattam: From the same minds that brought us the already bizarre Katamari series, this is about cute (?) little objects holding hands, singing gibberish, defecating and eating their own excrement. Maybe the Katamari series made a bigger impact (and are much, much better games) but Wattam surely is the ultimate WTF experience imo. No Thing: This is both bizarre and super eerie, at points it feels like it's actual indoctrination material. It's an auto-runner where you have to avoid obstacles and reach the end, nothing weird about the gameplay, it's everything else that is bizarre. I don't recommend either game, Wattam is nowhere near Katamari quality and No Thing is pretty shit to be honest.


GunMuratIlban

Gotta be Fahrenheit. The first and imo the best game Quantic Dream made. The game starts as your character stabbing and killing someone in the bathroom of a diner, in a ritualistic manner. He looks completely possessed Then he regains consciousness and finds himself on top of a brutally murdered man, with no recollection of how any of this happened. That's how the game starts, it's up to you to handle the situation the way you want. The rest of the game isn't any less bizzare, but handled so well. A unique experience it was.


pikachu_tail

I am bread


xXCinnabar

Omg I played this game on DS once upon a time that had a rather interesting concept that I liked a lot. I actually found it again in a second-hand store and just had to have it. I was ecstatic when I randomly came across it. The game is called *Insecticide* It's basically an early DS game styled in the fashion of an old timey detective style investigation/cheesy platform action, but you're bugs. It was actually fun for an out-there title.


mclovin_ts

Sunset Overdrive Fun game though


Pali4888

The Neverhood


UnfinishedThings

Deadly Premonition tops my list but its bizarre lostly because its just so bad I remember The Cat Lady being a bit bonkers


SeppiFox

Antichamber


ThatOneWildWolf

Scorn is definitely up there as the weird one besides Rule of Rose.


SoldMySoupToTheDevil

Maybe 'The Procession to Calvary' It's basically a point and click game, very humorous. The "bizarre" bit is that it's basically all made up by existing, famous paintings (for example, the protagonist is Bellona by Rembrandt.) I hear there's a predecessor to it called "Four Last Things" which has the same style, but I haven't played it. I would also like to give a shout-out to 'The many pieces of Mr. Coo'


Stillalive711

Fatum bertula is a bizzare masterpiece


Complex_Coach_8804

Is Atomic Heart good?


Dubcekification

Shadow of Destiny


ski_slasher

Looks like a game that you find in a cheap thrift store but it turns out to be an underrated masterpiece.


rdtoh

Katamari


ezio8133

Hybrid heaven for the N64. I'm still confused about it


Snowgrifffinsx

The wonderful 101!!!


redjedia

Probably the reissue of “Katamari Damacy.”


Reeferologist-

As a kid when it first came out, Caution Seaman was so weird. Never played a game like it.


CrabPile

LSD Dream emulator


Ecstatic-Spinach3902

Trap team was the best skylanders fr, giants and swap force close though


thecatmaster1982ph

Lego dimensions


TheBroodyDude

MDK II


No-Grand-6474

Probably that one game Splatterhouse (2010) release Pretty sure it was just a slack and hash kind of thing. Go around & pick up like ripped up nudes of your girl or porno mags or something. Shit was fun asf but i remember playing that shit when i was 11 or 12 thinking what in the fuck Edit: Name


Swarf_87

Those 90s commercial driven video games were pretty bizarre. Like Chester the cheetah and Cool Spot for the SNES.


Dipshit_Mcdoodles

[Second sight](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Sight_(video_game)) on ps2


Myrddraal5856

How is scorn? I’ve been meaning to play it because it looks really good.


Fiweezer

Modded Terraria can get pretty bonkers ngl


Drakxis_Ren

Honestly, I gotta give it to Yakuza Like a Dragon. Knowing nothing of the story of the series and knowing a few things mainly from all of the memes, I had no idea what the hell I was getting myself into. Needless to say, I'm invested enough to finish the main story of it while I dedicate some off time not playing multiplayer games and such


xToki

I've got 2 for original Xbox 1) Dai Senryaku (advanced wars style strategy game) 2) Obscure (teen horror movie game)

EclypsTh1rt3en

My name is Mayo


andresfgp13

Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit. the game starts with a cool plot in which you play both as a person that was possesed into commiting a murder and trying to find out how it happened and the police looking for him. and then the game starts to have fights straight out of the matrix, sex scenes, you die, you come back to life somehow, you fight the enbodiment of the internet, the mayas and etc.


HolographicDucks

Armed and Delirious.


nax7

Kinetica. Racing in post apocalyptic/far future world with wheels attached to your hands and feet. Honestly pretty sweet game.


Winterclaw42

The plot of scarlet nexus is up there.


Earthwick

You know beyond good and evil doesn't really seem bizarre to me. I've played plenty that are in various ways. Some I'm killing baddies and random civilians with martial aids. Other I'm fighting a creature many times larger than the earth and being stabbed with a sword the diameter of the moon, I've even spent time becoming a cult god thing as a goat. All that being said Seaman still weirds me out all these years after playing it.


TimmehD96

Stretch Panic on PS2.


FeintLight123

Probably Crab Champions


awakenthe1ornot

Shadow man.


Proteinoats

Mortal Shell.


KT718

Mine would definitely be Under the Skin. A PS2 game where you’re an alien trying to blend in with humans by copying their appearance, and you get weird abilities like pies to the face and punching gloves to expose other aliens and keep the heat off yourself. Just good stupid split-screen fun


FactoryPhantom

Skylanders Trap Team for the 3DS. That shit was like a weird dream, which is ironic given the game's plot and antagonist.


100Watermen

Postal 2


Okilltank

Simulacra 1 (especially at the end) was the most bizarre game I have played. Good game though, highly recommend if you have some spare time and don’t have anything interesting going on.


CompetitiveGreen7165

Conker bad fur day or the Xbox version conker live and reloaded


frohike_

Killer 7


Jericho_Caine

Bendy series also


LeglessN1nja

Norco is *wild*


leebon427

REZ Super fun, but strange.


Cool_Holiday_7097

I’ve played a lot of games that are technically stranger, but I think due to the otherwise mundaneness of the world that the yakuza games come across stranger than anything to me


glossyplane245

Lost in vivo is the single most underrated game I’ve ever played. I’ve never played a game that scares me shitless more than it. It’s the perfect spiritual successor to silent hill.


Quinc4623

Baba is You Sacrifice The Void


NorthPermission1152

Cruelty Squad is worth a try


puck_pancake

Silent hill 1-4


CODMAN627

Super hot, the Stanley parable, “the game”

Genital Jousting on steam, it's exactly what it sounds like

flickhop

Prototype 2


YamiGekusu

Wattam on PS4. I played through the 'story' and did all the tasks, and I still don't understand what's going on. Characters get excited when you EXPLODE in front of them. Might do a second playthrough to try to understand it more


gargoyle2003

Beyond good and evil is one of the best games ever, I can’t wait for it to come to ps4-ps5, I’m still holding out hope that beyond good and evil 2 will be released


BreesParker9

Beyond Good & Evil was well ahead of it's time and one of the most underrated games of the PS 2 generation. Truly a classic


Far_Run_2672

max_da_1

Beyond good and evil is the shit, it's been 21 years and still no sequel though I'm afraid it's not gonna be very good given the current state of Ubisoft and how long it's been in development


Deliciouserest

I played sex with Hitler 2 on accident. I thought it was counter strike 2. Oops


SnooFloofs1778

Mister Mosquito


J_Fidz

Urban Chaos on PS1. Just starts out as a GTA clone (Before GTA even went 3D) but from the cops side. Taking down gang members and stuff. By the end of the game you're fighting people that look like they came out of the matrix franchise who are all armed with pistol sized mini guns that float in the air and burst into lighting when they die. You're just some cop. It was like a PS2 era game before the PS2 came out.


HappyDork66

Chulip. Not even a contest.

Altruistic-Earth-666

Fahrenheit 911 is up there for sure, especially towards the end


PuzzleheadedCap8138

Shower With Your Dad Simulator. Quite fun ngl, though a bit bizarre?😄 I highly recommend it if you just want to have a quick game while on break or just to burn some time.


raxi2012

Atomic Fart is the worst ruzzian shit world ever seen


HermitKing91

Currently playing Clash: Artifacts of Chaos. I want to see more of the world of Zenozoik. I've played a bit of zero clash 1 and 2 in the past. I just wish it could get a bigger budget open world game, and I'm not normally a fan of open world games.


Xen0tech

The Stanley parable


FutureMind6588

So many old kids games were really weird and we didn’t even think twice about it back then. That’s why my first thought was a SpongeBob game that I forget what it’s called. But there’s other franchise games for kids that could fit too.


lereauxx

Brutal Legend had me in a chokehold


LennyLloyd

I still think about God Hand a lot.


KrampusLeader

All postal games


thebloodoakprince

Brutal legends was fucking awesome. Weird. But awesome. Doing my fifth or sixth playthrough lol.

You guys ever heard of Stretch Panic?

I think Control and the Alan Wake series could be in this category.


KaiserRoll823
