411mania writes: I didn't know whether to go with good games that aren't well liked by critics and fans or good games that no one's heard of, so in the end I sort of went for a mixture of both. This list has some games which weren't well received by the gaming world or ones which were great but the public just weren't interested.
So the criteria for placement on the list is a game which is either received negatively by the gaming community or one which had very poor sales and deserved more credit for its work. So let's begin with the Top 8 Most Underrated Games.
In an age where most video games tend to get ported or remastered at some point, there’s a dizzying array of PS2 games that still haven’t been released on modern platforms, even if they were released on other platforms at the time.
NE: "We go over several games originally made for the GameCube that deserve remasters and remakes on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2."
Luigi’s Mansion deserves a full blown expanded upon remake in my opinion. I’d like to see more rooms and post game content similar to the mirror mode but I’m unsure if Nintendo would even consider it.
I fully agree as I love these games. Luigi's Mansion on Gamecube was a fun experiment to fill the launch window but it ended being up a wonderful game with charm and great graphics.
At this point I am waiting for the rumored Luigi's Mansion 4 for Switch 2, which -if Mansion 3 is any indicator- would be massive and amazing looking
Nah, Id much rather see new games. Just add Gamecube games to NSO.
same, the remake era has been fun but I rather see sequels now that just pay homage to their previous titles instead of remake after remake
They should have at least included Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, Rebel Strike and Eternal Darkness in that list
Eternal Darkness should be up there unless it's mired in licensing problems.
Luigi's Mansion, bc 2 and 3 are there.
Metroid Prime 2
Star Fox Adventures & Assault
Warioworld
Some games you just know are going to stand the test of time, being released and re-released multiple times over the years, or will simply have a legacy that’s built to endure. Meanwhile, there are other games that, for whatever reason, are simply never coming back.
Aye..this is why Emulation is important.
The Punisher was soo damn good. Nailed Garth Ennis take on the character very well. For me still one of the best comic book adaptions ever made.
Punisher and Simpsons both should get remakes. That's easy money for whoever does it
If you like the character, even read some of the comics you might like the game a lot. It was an excellent third person shooter with many nice ideas that fit Frank and even had a nice story full with characters from the Garth Ennis run
Where is NOLF!
That they couldn’t find a way to work out the legal stuff to bring it back is one of the greatest tragedies in gaming history.
Def Jam. Great and fun game they will never be re-released. There is just no way to secure all the copyrights for the tracks, voices and likenesses used in this game.
Streaming PS3 games to PS5 is not good which is why my PS3 is still connected. I hope you know that, but thanks for chiming in.
Well, I played through the campaign of Resistance 3 via streaming and it was pretty good.
And before someone states the obvious of streaming PS3 games to PS5. Um, no, streaming PS3 games is pretty bad.
Beyond Good and Evil
fantastic game, very underrated
There are several games that are considered to be of niche audiences. Dark Sniper has been around the circle of gaming his entire life. He has enjoyed a multitude of titles along the years and there are simply classics that belong in conversation as some of the greatest games being made.
Unfortunately due to politics, marketing and market saturation, there are certain classics that got overlooked.
Dark Sniper's top 8 most underrated video games.
1. Legend of Dragoon
2. Megaman X8
3. Maximum Carnage
4. Tobal No.1
5. Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow
6. Beyond Good and Evil
7. Time Splitters 2
8. Fighting Vipers
$niper
very good list, but I could say not "underrated" but "overlooked" I can add:
Psychonauts
Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2
God Hand
Killer 7
No more heroes 1 & 2
Sin & Punishment 1 & 2
Shadows of the damned
Child of eden & REZ
Rayman origins
+ Vanquish, Bayonetta and Madworld ..and yes Beyond good & evil is one of my best games ;)
I played Beyond Good and Evil a couple of times. Never understood why people praise it so much.
