For reference, my definition of a “dead game” is a game that is no longer receiving any more updates, attention or is just shut down entirely.
One game I really wish had a chance to thrive was Gigantic. It had really cool concepts, gameplay and characters. You play with a team of 5 to summon creatures that grant benefits across the map and kill the enemy team members so that your Titan can attack the opposing Titan, leaving them open for your attack.
The maps and camera angles made it really feel like a massive battlefield and the scale of the Titans added to the immersion.
At the time, I mained Trip and Tyto because they moved very quick and were useful for traversing across the map either for getting into fights or summoning creatures first. Now that I’ve been feeling like playing support roles, I probably would’ve mained the crazy old hobo alchemist who would fling potions that created aoe healing and debuff pools.
Sadly, the game never got enough traction and thanks to their lack of micro transactions, they never got enough financial support, leading them to shut down their servers, leaving a fun idea of a video game in the dust. Really wish it succeeded, though. Would’ve loved to see how it would evolve.

Battlefield: Modern Combat 2 (PS2). This was the first game I played online and it was a real blast. I miss this game so much.
