Quake Champions is pretty great, surprised it's not at least a little bigger

I'm content with OpenArena, so Quake 3 with open source graphics so you can install and play it anywhere. What does champions do that I'm missing out on?
I'm not familiar with Open Arena so hard for my to say a lot, but QC def feels way more modern than the other Quake's in a way I appreciate a lot.
The graphics, audio, cosmetics, etc are all awesome. SyncError is also an excellent map designer and I love the maps he releases
Not sure if this fits (because it had its moment and its assets are likely popular) but Jump Ultimate Stars for sure.
It is basically the dream of any Otaku materialized and sadly Shounen Jump hasn't been able to top it yet, the more time it passes the more time I appreciate it 😁
For example I have played with Gon and Killua characters since 2009... But just until now I got to see the 2011 Hunter x Hunter adaptation and oh boy, knowing the characters just improve the experience!
For video games, Ostranauts. It's the perfect space survival sim IMO. You wake up on an industrial salvage station and get a ship. Then you fly to derelict ships and scrap them for money and parts. Build up your own ship and travel farther and farther out. It's jank as fuck to learn but once you get it down it's the type of game where you put on music then just go for hours and hours. It's early access and a lot is changing but the core gameplay loop is so addicting already.
For tabletop games, Infinity. It's the best miniatures skirmish game I've ever played. The rules are deep but tight. The number of minis you put on the table is just right to me. List building is the best of any game I ever played. The rules are free. The app is free. The miniatures are the best out of any wargame I've ever played. It's just a shame that people are so locked into Games Workshop that they don't see other games as an option. Like I had a couple friends get hardcore into it but never more than that. And at the height of it's popularity at our store we had one of the best players on the East coast play in a tournament. That was a sight to behold. Like I'm not a tourney player at all for any game. Watching the number 1 east coast player do his thing was the most inspired I ever was to become a tournament player.
Ostranauts still needs time to cook but there's nothing quite like getting your first torch lit, nearly starving during the trip to Venus and then spending days stuck in a crash couch while your earther pilot supervises the burn that nearly kills you. Definitely room to grow.
I agree that it still needs a cooking, but what's there is already so good. Salmon is great raw or cooked.
Meinkraft
Shoot Shoot Mega Pack is extremely underrated imo. It's a really fun 2D shooter +party game, and it only has 13 reviews on steam.
Kunitsu-Gami. I tried the demo and spent 8 hours on it trying to get everything perfect, which made me realize I should just buy it. It was a total delight. I didn't expect it, never even heard of it honestly, but I can't stop recommending it.
RS isnt really popular outside millennials groups, although it's declining a lot last few years

For video games, The Touhou series.
Outside of the games They have alot of fangames/Fan Content ,a massive community and a popular Fan Song (Bad Apple).
Also Undertale/Deltarune has some inspiration from Touhou.
