Forums - Gaming Discussion - Top 12 most underrated games

Underrated my metascore and sales:

The Wonderful 101
Sonic: Lost World
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
God Hand



Around the Network

Pretty good list.



An underrated game for me is that i feel not enough people played the game.

The vita library

XCOM: Enemy Unknown: Holy crap is this game addicting. Earth is under attack by aliens and you are in charge of a globally financed special military group to protect earth. Its a mix of a 3rd person, SRPG, with base management. Story might be very mediocre but its gameplay is a lot of fun.

The Blazblue series. Its a fun and flashy 2D fighting game with lots of deep, but even if you dont like fighting games this series has the best story than any other fighting game and it has an interesting world with a great lore including magic and sciences. The story is quite lengthy too with each character has their own story with multiple paths leading to multiple endings for every character. The game also has a true ending playthrough you can play after playing with all the others story. This series should at least get recognition for its story and its fun/competitive gameplay.



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

Games like Shadow of the Colossus I don't see as underrated. More like underplayed, as in the sales are not COD level, but the ones who has played it think it's great.



Yep.

Valkyira Chronicles. Suikoden 2.

Epic Mickey

Killzone

Tak and the Power of Juju

Star Wars: Republic Commando

Wipeout 2048

Retro City Rampage

Beyond Good & Evil

Psychonauts

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure 

I agree with a lot of your list, but especially Tak. That was one of my favorite 6th gen games but it got slammed by reviewers. Looking at Metacritic, the disparity between the critic reviews and user reviews is ridiculous. I don't understand why.

4.) Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (DS)

This game was a sequel to a two-part GBA series from the early 2000's, and seemed to be despised by a lot of the fans of the previous entries. It might just be that hyperbole seems to overused on the internet, but I don't think this game warrants most of the hate it received. The puzzles were still fun to solve, the music was great, and the dialogue was as entertaining as the original games (though still really long). My only big issue was the Point of No Returns....I really hope those are removed whenever GS4 finally comes out.


I only had a couple of major qualms with Dark Dawn:
1. It's very easy. Easier than the first game, I'd say.
2. Lots and lots of retconning.

Shadow of the colossus underrated??? That's a good joke. It has a 91 on metacritic and is hailed as one of the best games on the ps2.

       Good game =/= Not underrated


So, do you mean overlooked?



Okami and vanquish have have critical response. But these are less known by gamers. So I choose okami and vanquish as most underrated games.
