What, in your opinion, are the most underrated games? This doesn't just have to be PC games, any platform is fine.
Personally, I think Section 8: Prejudice is extremely underrated. The studio has gone under, the servers are shut down, and apparently GFWL will be shut down soon as well (which is sad it used GFWL). While the campaign was horrible, it did improve upon the original Section 8 multiplayer through improved weapon customization (though not on the scale of Battlefield or CoD) as well as offering a more diverse multiplayer experience due to the various random missions that would occur during matches. It was tons of fun; I have ~30 hours logged on this game, and that was only playing against bots. Nobody plays the multiplayer, and it's really sad because it was pretty different from a lot of shooters that are released these days, and it only cost $15.
I didnt even know the servers were shut down. I was about to pick it up on steam. I played the demo of it on 360 (which was really just a hour trial), seemed pretty cool.
A extremely underrated game in my eyes is battlefield bad company 1. Even though it is very underrated and not alot of people purchased it in comparison to its sequal it's easier to find matches on it compared to bad company 2, atleast on 360.
Off the top of my head, Jill of the Jungle, Wild Arms, Grandia, Terranigma, Arcraiser, Timestalkers, Evolution, Tales of Destiny, Jazz Jackrabbit, aaaaand Spitwad Willy.
Total Annihilation is probably the best example I can think of. Great reviews but sold like crap but the ball kept slowly rolling and now it's considered to be one of the best RTS games to have ever seen the light of day.
Been playing it since day one and it still beats the current stuff in my opinion.
It's quite old and I don't know if it's underrated but the Commandos series is amazing and I spent countless hours of my childhood playing it. I don't hear many people talk about it but I think it's unique and deserves to be on some sort of list of great games.
I bought it for reasons of nostalgia. I am already quite familiar with Commandos. Memories of being made very upset by the French resistance man dying and trusting his dog to the thief in mission 2 ;(
Same goes for Jade Empire and Rune: Viking Warlords. This is a N64 title and the singleplayer can be played in coop. You just start a multiplayer match as raptors for example, and then switch to a singleplayer level with the cheats.
A-OK! The Wings of Mercury, A realistic simulation of the Mercury space flight. Website gone. ISDefense a fun rail shooter. TitanFall I hated it at first but now I really enjoy it. Usually 50 regional and 400 players worlwide . Quartris II+. Tried the shareware and mailed a check for 15 bucks for the full version. Got the diskette and hate mail saying if it ever showed up online he would hunt me down and sue my ^%$ off. Section 8. I liked that game too. Farmville....Don't see the attraction but my wife sure likes it
