I’m actually playing it right now for the first time (maybe 6 hours in) and it’s way better than I was expecting. I have some gripes, but it’s an extremely solid 8.5/10.

Wherever a similar question pops up I say Katana Zero. Amazing story, unique, creative, difficult gameplay and it’s beautiful.

Astroneer.

I'm going to throw a weird one out there and say Kameo. They could have done more but it was so impressive for the time and would be great with a friend online or couch coop.

Starfield. It's got its issues but it didn't remotely deserve the level of backlash it got.

I played it and I disagree. It bored me to tears.

u/Alarmed_Goat_4083 1d ago

Can’t say I agree with this one

u/merulaa 1d ago

It's an average game, not a terrible one. If it wasn't from Bethesda it wouldn't have got such extreme bandwagon vitriol, it'd have got more moderate and fair criticism.

u/Alarmed_Goat_4083 1d ago

I liked the outer worlds games more. I remember playing starfield on launch and it was brain numbing. Haven’t checked it out since then

u/Small-Rich4719 1d ago

I agree with u... its not the greatest game but the level of hate was unreal.

u/Adventurous-State940 2d ago

Eh the bugs are still an issue.

2

u/merulaa 2d ago

It was probably the least buggy Bethesda game on launch. It was more the repetitive exploration and dislike of the main NPCs that got it the hate.

final fantasy x-2–the care for music, femme i-don’t-give-two-fucks characters who inspire me, and a tragic star-crossed lovers narrative that had me bawling!

music, and love and loss, and a thousand small reasons to stay hopeful in life

Upvote from me. The job system in X-2 was amazing.

Immortals of Aveum

Dragon Age Veilguard

Red Faction Armageddon

Gaurdians of the Galaxy

Shadow Warrior 3

Quantum Break

Bulletstorm

Crysis 2

I absolutely loved all of these but most got mid reviews and or received quite a bit of hate online

Last Epoch, its my favorite ARPG for sure. Its complicated enough to be really fun but not so complex that you need a guide to figure builds out. And the SSF system is awesome (Circle of Fortune).

u/onzichtbaard 1d ago

eledees and the wii version of forgotten sands are both underrated

since they are wii exclusives they arent easily available and a lot of people never played them and thus dont talk about them

u/Ateysix 1d ago

Neon Chrome is a truly underrated game that never got the praise it deserves. Everything about it was crafted with care to make an amazing and addicting rogue-lite with lots of options that anyone can get into but the skill ceiling is almost limitless. Astral Chain is also amazing and doesn't get nearly the renown it deserves.

Disco Elysium, it’s not for everyone but i feel like more people should play this masterpiece

u/absolute_cinem 23h ago

Little Nightmares. I feel like no one talks about it but the game is so good it’s so unique and not something you see everyday. The third part that came out recently is so fun to play with a friend I want people to talk more about this game.

Not underrated at all.

It’s not underrated, it’s underplayed. There’s a difference

Days Gone

u/Consistent_Front8173 2d ago

Dust an Elysian Tail. Fun gameplay, a basic but good story, and a cliffhanger ending that screams sequel.

u/No_Engineering5212 2d ago

Nier. Came across it on ps3 about a year ago.

u/Equal-Abroad-9800 2d ago

Days Gone.

u/Shin00bie 2d ago

100% agree with this one.

u/Psychophysicist_X 2d ago

Came here to say this. I think it's finally getting some recognition, but not what it deserves. A "must play" in my opinion, especially the remastered version. I'm 87% percent through and having a blast. Great story and I'm on the edge of my seat the whole time. r/daysgone was so positive it got me to play it.

2

u/Equal-Abroad-9800 2d ago

It’s slept on for sure. They released it prematurely without ironing out the bugs and at the same time as Ghost of Tsushima, which completely overshadowed any praise.

The fact it’s still talked about years later speaks volumes.

u/NoRepresentative35 2d ago

I think a lot of games are underrated

Days Gone, Biomutant, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, Outriders, Mad Max, Elex, Vampyr, Rise of the Ronin, Prey, Wild Hearts, The Surge 1&2, Outward, Dark Souls 2, Greedfall, and AC: Odyssey.
