Top 10 Most Underrated Games

9) The Legend of Dragoon

The Legend of Dragoon is an old JRPG for the original PlayStation. It was a pretty classic RPG with 50+ hours of playtime spanning four discs. Back then having multiple discs was soon as a good thing, not a detriment. RPG fans might be surprised to see LoD on this list but keep in mind the game only got average review scores when it was released (it garnered a 74 aggregate review score on Metacritic). It should have scored way higher.

The Legend of Dragoon had an awesome plot, cool characters, and PlayStation-era cheesy voice acting during FMV cut-scenes. The game also introduced a “ring” system which required the player to press a button at the exact right moment to properly executive physical attack combos. More powerful attacks required more precise timing. This was pretty innovative for the time and it made combat much more interactive and skill-based. This system is also used in another game found later on the list.

Ask any old school JRPG fan what they think about The Legend of Dragoon and they will most likely agree this game is excellent.
