Top 10 Most Underrated Games
When it comes to blockbuster titles, pretty much everybody knows the big names. You hear a lot of talk about upcoming games from the top game franchises but there are also lots of amazing video games that end up flying under people's radar simply because they are a new intellectual property or they get average review scores from critics. Finding a diamond in the rough can be even more satisfying because you didn't expect the game to be that good. When a game surpasses your expectations, it makes that game all the more memorable. Here are the top 10 most underrated video games.
10) Brother in Arms: Hell's Highway
The Brothers in Arms series is based off the show Band of Brothers. Hell's Highway is the last full game in the series that was released on consoles and it came out in 2008. Despite the fact it only received a 76 aggregate review score on Metacritic, the game was awesome. Hell's Highway is a tactical shooter with very different combat mechanics compared to a traditional shooter such as Call of Duty. You aren't a one man army that can do everything yourself. In this game you have to constantly be issuing orders to your squad mates.
Military tactics such as laying down suppression fire and bounding are things you will need to master in order to succeed in this game. It is sort of like a combination between an FPS and an RTS since positioning your other units is just as important as your own accuracy. Being able to take control of a firefight gives you a sense of empowerment. The sound in this game is very realistic, too. There's nothing like commanding your machine gun squad to lay down suppression fire on a target and then hearing them start to unload on the unfortunate victims a few seconds later.
Hello? Where's Psychonauts?
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness and Sky are all severely underrated; One of IGN's reviewers gave a poor review of the game which demoted the initiative to play the game, however why is it a fact that so many other people who have played this game, criticized the IGN reviewer and loved the game? It's because it's so good in every aspect.
PMD explorers of sky was the 2nd best pokemon game to me dude its super cool for me atleast
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. The most underrated video game of all time, it's literally the best RPG I have ever play, for countless reasons. An underrated masterpiece.
Kay ham ahase game dounlod nahi kar sakte he.......
The SNES Shadowrun was better than the FPS Shadowrun. It was significantly closer to the tabletop game
I disliked that Adam Wake basically had a final boss about as difficult to deal with as the normal enemies. It was still a decent game, just the final boss was a real let down
Dragon's Dogma is terribly underrated. You literally can't trust the reviews, because most of them are made up. No fast travel, too hard, and nonsensical story are just some of the lies being told about it. I'll admit there are some flaws, and no multiplayer just doesn't make sense, because the foundation for it is there. However, it's still one of the best games I've played.
Unfortunately, Capcom made a jerk move by making Bitterblack Isle non - downloadable. The only way to purchase it is to buy the Dark Arisen addition, and that includes the original game. Then they advertised, "Includes the original Dragon's Dogma" on the box like it's a good thing. The game was being dished before Bitterblack Isle was announced, and this definitely didn't help. Also, Bitterblack Isle is worth buying (unless you already payed full price for the original). It adds much needed difficulty and some cool boss fights.
I heard a rumor about a sequel. I don't think it's possible, but I hope I'm wrong.
Just recently finished replaying LoD. Nostalgia plays a big aspect into this game. Looking back it was fantastic, now its somewhat painful to play. It was a product of its time and like many other games it did not age well while still others did.
LoD is a best RPG besides FF. every RPG fan will loved it
Lost Odyssey is a truly amazing game. One I've played and replayed numerous times. Has a great story with characters who are engaging and believable. The Thousand Years of Dreams gives good insight into the memories of Kaim and each story is amazingly well written.
LoD!! AMAZING Game!
Lost Odyssey is the most mature JRPG in terms of story..i think i will go back play the game again
Legend of the Dragoon was my FAVORITE game (besides Jet Moto and Twisted Metal 2) for PS1. Challenging, tons of side quests, great soundtrack, great gear, superb plot line, unforgettable boss battles. Loved it through and through. Im glad you're giving it the respect it deserves. Thank you.
Shadowrun was a great game
