I think you're mixing up underrated with underappreciated... Massive difference!

Playing though DMC courtesy of PS+. This is the best hack n slash game since Ninja Gaiden. Nothing this gen comes remotely close to it. it got good reviews, but the damage was done with the unjust hate. Should have sold a lot more.

Underrated as in sales. The most Underrated games in gaming are mostly the ones that didnt gain as much acclaim and profit reception from people but were gems in their own right. SOTC was underrated, but in the 7th gen got more playtime through digital media than it did with physical copies. Sony was very proud of their baby. That was Sony Japan at its height.
