Ocarina of Time. It only has 99 when it deserves much more. Though there's a lot of games that inexplicably have laughably low metascores...

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky: It got a 54, deserves so much more. This game is one of my favorite games of all time. Actually all pokemon mystery dungeon games are underrated, except Gates to Infinity.

Mario Party 1-6: These games are all in the 60's and 70's. The Mario Party games were some of my favorite games growing up. Too bad the series turned to garbage after 6.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn: This game got a 78, while this isn't necessarily bad, it's not what it deserves. It's my favorite game ever made and 78 is just too low for it.

Crash Tag Team Racing
MetaCritic Score: 66


Every time I hear about CTR, it's always really fondly remembered.

I think that's one critics certainly were wrong on!



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Shadow the hedgehog on ps2 (45 on meta). I got it when it first came out and remember enjoying the hell out of this game.


I've heard Shadow the Hedgehog was one of the most frequently rented PS2 games of all time!

Nier
Neptunia
Lightning Returns

 

I was just watching MetaljesusRocks on youtube. A list of 10 PS3 hidden gems. One of them was Nier. I know in the past I'd talk alot of shit about Nier because it was published by SE... it was mainly trolling you because you were so fun to mess with.Hoever, that video actually made me interested in the game.

Here's the video anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rorfFQ9eM6s

 

... Lightning sucks serious balls.

It's a lovely game. Ended up being one of my all time favorites.

Sadly, he doesn't really go over the Drakengard link as that's what it's most close to. I hope you get around to it hat.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Beside Nier, cannot think of any, generally I don't really disagree with overall reviews, besides them overrating everything. . Musuo games get that score for obvious reasons, I guess I enjoy those.

Bound by flame, PS4. Metacritic 53, insanely enjoyable game. Only down side is it didnt last longer but loved the music, the gameplay and the graphics. Even the characters were interesting even if a bit underdeveloped. With the right budget Spiders could make really great games.

Driveclub and The Order: 1886.

These.  I'm not even a racing fan and I've loved DC+.  The Order is amazing and yet all I see is how it has no replay value.  Ummmm I've already replayed it once and I kept it which means it's a game I can see myself going back to.  Never got why cinematic games are said to be unreplayable.

I wouldn't say hated but Splatoon and Yoshi Woolly World both deserve more than 81 and 79 respectively



mysteryman on 11 July 2015

I'm guessing anything under 70 is "hated".

50 - Postal 2
A lot of stupid fun, by no means a masterpiece, but it's no 50

59 - Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude
Such a funny and messed up game

61 - Game & Wario
The multiplayer games especially are great fun

62 - Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law
Any fan of the series must play this

63 - Eufloria
I can't fault the game considering its genre
