Favorite underrated games

[Tharticus]

My list:

Beyond Good and Evil
Shadow of the Colossus
Earthbound
Killer7

What are your favorite underrated games?

 

[Aura Guardian]

Bloody Roar Primal Fury. Personally, this was the best of the Bloody Roars. Better graphics fast loading, better voice acting.

 

[yankeefan19]

Darkest of days and Mirror's Edge

 

[EricGossett]

Shadow of the Colossus and Zone of Enders

 

[ae86gamer]

Shadow of the Colossus and Zone of Enders

I like both of those games. But I don't think either of them are really underrated.

Mine would have to be Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.

 

[Roxas1359]

Mine are Klonoa, Ape Escape 3, Killer 7, and Megaman Legends.

A tip of the hat for the mentions of Earthbound and Zone of the Enders.

Also, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, the SNES version of Shadowrun, and I think I can safely call the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games underrated.

 

[HoodedPunhist]

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura
Dead Rising
Psychonauts

While I know Dead Rising is pretty new game and pretty popular I still hear many people saying it's "mediocre" when it in case is FABULOUS! Best Zombie killing game ever! Until Dead Rising 2 comes out of course (they'd better not fuck it up D:< ).

EDIT: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series too like GeekArt said. Thanks for reminding.

Shadow of the Colossus and Megaman Legends

I shall come out and say Viva Pinata.[sup]Yeah, I'm as shocked as you are.[/sup]
It is not just a kid's game, it is a deep, engaging game with a management game with a food chain system hidden beneath the cutesy graphics.
It makes you think a hell of a lot.

 

[Volafortis]

Penumbra, Dead Rising

 

[Halo Fanboy]

Bayonetta
Prince of Persia 2008
Are recent ones that come to mind. Not that these games are generally overlooked but I feel that they get more dislike than warranted.

star wars droid-works

That game is my choice. It's truly a fun experience.

 

[Thwarted]

Settlers 2

 

[jokr2thief]

American McGee's Alice

 

[TheDoctor455]

Psychonauts
The entire Myst series (I have yet to meet another human being who has even heard of this series)

War of the Monsters (pretty much the only fighting game I've had lasting amounts of fun with)

The Overlord series

Sacrifice (first I heard of it was when it arrived on Steam)

Assassin's Creed 1 (I still don't understand why so many people hate it)

 

[Pimppeter2]

The Jak and Daxter series.

 

[Dark Knifer]

The Jak and Daxter series.

Damnit ninja'd!
