Some games are just niche and known by certain groups of people, but others are just obscure. The problem is that on the internet it is hard to differentiate between a vocal minority and real popularity. So, is there a good way to find out if a game is really obscure? Also, when, in your opinion, can a game be considered obscure?

The reason I want to know is because I sometimes make videos about obscure video games, but for this one I'm not sure if it is really that obscure. (The game is Soul Nomad and the World Eaters in this case if you want to know)

I don't want to flame you, OP. I really don't. You sound sincere enough in your ADHD to warrant a real response, but that's just not going to happen. Your question is so incredibly pedantic that I can't imagine why anyone in their right minds would care about the answer. It's for this reason that I would respectfully suggest you return to GBS, or Games, to seek your answer.

Soul Nomad and the World Eaters sounds more like a band name than a game name

Post a "I can't remember the name of this game" on reddit with the details and if no one names it in 5 mins it's officially obscure.
