With the rather lacklustre reviews of the severely delayed Crackdown 3, TBG look at 5 other titles which took their time in getting to us.
GB: "With this feature, we run down 15 of the most underrated games on the PS4 that never received the love and appreciation they truly deserve."
I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.
I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.
There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.
Friendship is hard to depict accurately, but The Last Guardian does a good job of showing all its ups and downs through Trico and the boy.
I couldn’t agree more. I’ll never forget the emotional experience I had with this game. After waiting all those years, and than to finally play it. It was a visual beauty, along with offering a story/friendship between the 2 characters that was unique and unforgettable. Far surpassed my expectations. A masterpiece!
Technical issues aside, never have I played anything quite like it!
I enjoyed the game but it started out too simple and easy. If the entire game was as intense and challenging as the last 20% it would have been a 10/10 experience.
I managed to grab the collectors edition for £40 about a year after it released. Was an enjoyable game, but I had just finished Shadow of the colossus, and whilst I enjoyed it, it was not as good when compared.
From Xfire: "Anyone who's played video games for a couple of years has stuck around long enough to stumble across a few weird ones. Some are even quite popular, which is all the more reason why you'll wonder what made the developers think about making such a game and why people are loving it, despite its weirdness anyway. Not all weird video games are head-scratches. Some are actually quite good."
The stick of truth is a must have for any South Park fans. I spent a good afternoon on Goat simulator, a rare real open world. I planned to try hatoful boyfriend since it was free on Ps Plus. Disco Elysium is on my radar since the final cut came out; as soon as there is a discount, i will take it. Like movies, i like weird games too :)
Dont agree with The last gaurdian...it even won 15 goty awards.
Duke Nukem Forever was given no chance, 3D Realms gave them their baby and they just outsourced the hell out of it like they just didn't even want to touch the project.
Also no on The Last Guardian, was nominated and was winner of tons of awards, there's just a divide between those who know what it's like dealing with essentially training an animal, and those who just want snappy/game-ey reactions from Trico. Even so it's at 87 on metacritic, wouldn't call that "failed to impress"
The Last Guardian was fantastic, just because it wasn't better than Shadow of the Colossus doesn't mean it was a disappointment.
DNF wasn't even as bad as many people made out, what i personally thought of the game was that it felt like Doom 3 mixed with another game, but i think it did use the Doom 3 engine which is why it felt like it, but of course it was much more open.
One of the things i noticed about it was inconsistent level design, i enjoyed some levels like the one with the mine cart and that alien hive map later on, some other levels seemed to drag on a little bit.
I think LGR did a video review stating similar things, but i had already said about this on forums etc practically when the game came out.
As with sheep and most things though, people are usually quick to call crap when it comes to reviews and critics.
More late than delayed, but for me it would be Kingdom Hearts 3.
