Many overlooked RPGs lie dormant in the catalogues of gaming, but players can pick up their swords and shields with these amazing JRPG hidden gems!
TW: “With the recent release of the sequel film, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, I’ve been revisiting the astounding world of the Spider-Verse, enjoying both the prequel and the new sequel film in all their glory; and it’s led me to ask one question — why the hell isn’t there a Spider-Verse game?”
There sure was a super sweet looking cell shaded suit. Made you feel like your actually playing a comic.
It would still be sick though. And I dont mean cell shading to cut corners. It would have to be amazing like the movies themselves.
I too would like a whole game with the entire world looking like the animated movie. It could be awesome
These are the worst guns in video games. Unlike weapons that are useful and practical, these only take up space in your inventory.
My #1 underrated game of 2010: 3D Dot Game Heroes. It was smashed in reviews (averaging 7/10 on Metacritic), but I loved every minute of it. I can't expect someoen who cut their teeth on Call of Duty or Halo to understand, but for those who grew up on Zelda, Dragon Warrior, and Final Fantasy, 3D Dot Game Heroes is a love letter to those gamers.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
This survival-horror game deserved much more attention than anything else. Story was fairly well written, graphics was excellent, and holy sh*t was it scary as hell. I bet Satan himself would jizz his pants if he were to play Amnesia.
I would consider Amnesia one of the best games of 2010...period.
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor is an 87 on Metacritic so I wouldn't call it underrated. Just undersold.
<3 Star Successor.
Just Cause 2 defintely deserved more recognition.
Much better than GTA IV.
