What are some 'cult' games that people like to play? (Cult meaning not super popular, but with major acclaim and a highly dedicated fanbase)

Recently I've been binge playing 'Pyschonauts,' and it feels like Banjo-Kazooie made by Tim Burton...

    Yess, psychonauts is my favorite game of all time. I love it when I meet people that have played it. Black velvetopia is my favorite level fyi. When psychonauts 2 was announced I was shrieking.

    Is there an generation limit? Call of Juarez , and I would wager there are some non-wrestling games made by THQ that rock! I know there are,I've played them. I can't remember, but for a very long period,THQ was my fave game company. At some point , all I could find on the shelves was Smack Down VS Raw. A great Series to be sure,but far from the only good thing they made! RIP THQ!:(

    Both Metro games come to mind. There's also Spec Ops: The Line and the two Homefront games. I'd recommend all of those games.

    Of all the cult games out there I think we all can agree that Mirror's Edge is number one:
