"For one reason or another, certain games simply aren't as revered as they should be so I asked our staff and friends of the site what they think the most underrated game of all time is and here's what we had to say." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Viva Piñata could well make a come back after Microsoft moved to renew the trademark, along with Blast Corps.
Rather see Banjo-Threeie
Hell a remake-revamp of Grabbed by the Ghoulies, great concepts, not executed the best but having everything around you as a weapon was great, with new tech they could get more creative
Microsoft has been gradually rebooting Rare IPs. I wouldn’t be surprised if MS announces another Rare IP reboot after Perfect Dark release in 2023-2024. Based on popularity you would think Banjo, Viva Piñata and Conker would be the next likely candidates for rebooting [or a new release].
Agree completely with you but Viva Pinata would be beautiful with modern graphics
This game rocked. It was so relaxing making a little garden and getting pinatas to... Dance with each other.
While Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE is easily recognized as a Shin Megami Tensei spinoff, it fails to present itself as the crossover it is meant to be.
It was way too much idol culture which idk why they thought itd be a great idea for an smt/fe crossover. I honestly wish they just made it to be a highschool/academy style of game like persona. So much potential it had but its whatever. The game was just ok.
The problem is when this was first announced it was literally Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem. All they needed to do was keep the Fire Emblem strategy gameplay and incorporate Shin Megami Tensei elements and aesthetics. Or hell, somehow collide the universes together with Fire Emblem gameplay.
What we got was really out of left field with such a mashup. I think that’s why it’s disappointing for those expecting Fire Emblem in this game.
Starting today, Total War: Warhammer and City of Brass are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until April 7 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim it, it’s yours to keep.

Underrated gems?
* Legend of Heroes - A Tear of Vermillion
* Goemon - Mystical Ninja 64
* Nostalgia = DS rpg similar to old school FF/DQ games.
*.......Too many others to list, My list could easily be 300+ games. I've been gaming since atari 2600 in the late 80's, so I've played a ton of hidden gems.
ohhh just remember possibly the most hidden gem.....
Mappy Land for NES.......not mappy world.....Mappy Land = awesome game.
