Just as the title says, discuss about underrated video games. What video game series do you think are underrated?
Mine would be: Klonoa Door to Phantomile, Twisted Metal, and Shadow of the Colossus… is SotC considered underrated?
Alien vs predator extinction. I mean come on they took aliens, predators and marines and made a strategy game.

Only problem is its only campaign all 3 campaigns
Definitely Valkyria Chronicles. It’s an strategy game with FPS elements. What’s not to like?
Infamous 2. Loved that game; almost no one talks about it…
Dust an Elysian Tail. My favorite game of all time, plays fantastic, is hand drawn, and made by one guy. Its $15 and I highly recommend checking it out!
Dood, Undertale is where its at.

I almost forgot the Infinity Blade trilogy!
Best three games on mobile OS, imo

Well, found the topic to mention Tetrisphere in!
if you don’t know what Tetrisphere is, it’s an old N64 game, where the objective is eliminate blocks by getting combo chains, until you expose enough of the little’ core that the pieces are standing on.
It’s friggin’ addictive.
If ya wanna see some gameplay, here you go:
Sid Meier’s Pirates?
I haven’t seen much interest in Gunvolt, which is a shame because that game is great.
New trailers for the physical version as well as the new anime have been released, and I’ve put them on the Gunvolt topic.

King of Fighters and Garou: Mark of the Wolves.
At least in North America.
In South America, it’s practically a religion.

Oh man, there are SOOO many I can think of off the top of my head. I actually plan on LPing several of these in the near future, but I’m gonna say it here so y’all can go play them for yourselves.
Most of the hidden gems on ArmorGames, and Flash games in general. Flash games have the potential to be better than retail games, but people never give them the light of day. Do yourself a favor, and go play “Sonny” and “Sonny 2” on ArmorGames, then wait quietly in anticipation for “Sonny 3” (coming out soon).
Another wonderful group of Flash games that is, admittedly, not too underrated, but absolutely worth mentioning because, frankly, every gamer should play a game from this company at least once, is Artix Entertainment. These guys made AdventureQuest, MechQuest, DragonFable, EpicDuel, and many others that still make me laugh, get immersed in the deep lore, laugh some more, laugh again, then rage in frustration at the seemingly impossible boss. If you haven’t played an Artix game, then go do it. Now. They’re free and on the web, it’s not hard. Do it. Play DragonFable and MechQuest in particular. Don’t wait, just go.
Aside from awesome Flash games (of which there are many), here’s a couple more traditional titles that people don’t appreciate as much as perhaps they should:
Hawken. This is a really fun game, and it’s still fun. If you like big stompy mechs, skill-based shooters, or if you just want to see things explode, go give it a try. It’s free, but the system requirements are a little tough (I might also add that it’s crazy immersive. The “big stompy mech” feel is pulled off better than any other mech game out there, and the music is… well, see for yourself).
Jotun. I don’t believe I’ve ever played a prettier or more calming game aside from Super Mario Sunshine (and nothing will ever surpass that game). Jotun is gorgeous, fun, tight, and the bossfights, in true Nordic fashion, are absurdly massive, and endless fun to hack away at.
Warhammer 40K: Eternal Crusade. Not necessarily underrated, but certainly underappreciated. Don’t believe the poor reviews some have given it, a majority of the reviews are positive, and I can tell you firsthand that the game is wicked fun and will only get better with time. If you like Warhammer at all, it’s worth looking into (I won’t post a trailer, because they’re all crazy violent, like this game. I mean, it’s Warhammer, you should expect nothing less on that front).
I would also be remiss not to mention one of the most amazing indie games I’ve ever seen: Castle in the Darkness. I won’t say much, just watch the Trailer or NCS’s LP of it and you’ll understand how amazing it is.
Paladins: Champions of The Realm.
I feel like I’m the only one who likes this game.
I know what people are thinking.
“Free To Play Overwatch”
While that is true, Paladins is great.

I was considering including that, but I knew it would spur on the uninformed “durr hurr, Paladins is an Overwatch clern durr” arguments. Don’t worry, I’m behind you.
