Top 10 Most Underrated Games

7) The Darkness

The Darkness was one of the more overlooked console shooters until the series became better known when they made the sequel five years later. The original actually received pretty good review scores with an 82 aggregate on Metacritic, but it didn't sell well at all. According to numbers from VGChartz, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game combined for slightly over one million total copies sold.

The Darkness was cool because it wasn't just an FPS; you also had supernatural demonic powers at your disposal. In order to power up these abilities, you literally had to eat the hearts of your fallen enemies. It doesn't get much more evil than that! The Darkness didn't have a relevant multiplayer mode, which in today's day and age would be a deal breaker for many, but it didn't matter back then because the campaign was well worth it.

The games were based off a comic book series of the same name.
