Consortium is probably the most underrated game in 2014 because it had a really buggy launch. By the end of 2014, the bugs were squished and the game is very enjoyable and very unique. At its heart, it is a first person shooter running on the Source engine but on top of that there are layers and layers of story condensed in to a 2-5 hour package per play (and yes, you'll most likely want to replay it; I'm over 10 I think). As for what makes it unique, Rock, Paper, Shotgun wrote a good article explaining that better than I could.
The lore for these games are extremely deep including a complete alternate reality to what appears in the games. This public wiki skims the surface of it and provides some highlights. You don't need to be familiar with any of this to enjoy the games but if you do some reading on the Information Terminals in the game, you'll realize the rabbit hole goes very deep.
Don't let the cell-shaded look of the game dissuade you. The 9/10 rating on Steam is well deserved.

The second game in the trilogy, Consortium: The Tower Prophecy, is in the works. They're moving from Source to Unreal Engine 4 and they want the game to be even more ambitious than the first. A Kickstarter campaign will be happening some time this year to raise money to continue developing it.
