Created by Edmund Mc. Millen.. you know, the guy that also made Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac. And somehow, this absolute blast of a game only counts 421 owners on this site (and 29 platinum achievers). Splasher - A game created by a former developer of Rayman with a heavy focus on speedrunning. Very unique, very, VERY tough, but a lot of fun. Only 571 owners and 13 platinum achievers. Nothing to add to this. Still baffles my mind why both of these amazing games only have so few players/owners here. Highly recommend both of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Drowning is another game I don't understand why hardly anyone talks about it . The story is pretty deep and disturbing if you pay attention to it but unfortunately, most people just skip through it for an quick and easy Plat so don't bother reading it - which is a shame . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the linearity issue, but most of them are linear. The story is nonsensical, but all of them are. The battle system is killer, the music is my favorite in the series, and the game is damn gorgeous (still). Lightning Returns is also great if you enjoyed the first one. XIII-2 can fuck off. I thought FFXIII was amazing. I never understood the hate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urdnot_Wrexx Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) I do not know if this game is criminnaly underrated, but I want to recommend The Deadly Tower of Monsters - it's a very funny, light and easy platinum game with an AMAZING retro sci-fi atmosphere. I've enjoyed every singile minute of it. Edited May 10, 2021 by Urdnot_Wrexx 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konzel-Erre Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I suggest Faeria which is farly new on PS4, but it's quite old on PC and it's absolutely gorgeous! You have a lot of things to do both online and offline, you can also play coop with people which is a rare feature in card games. Actually it's 50% card game and 50% boardgame, but most important it's 100% fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHADOW-KILLER-S2 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 On 4/23/2021 at 11:11 PM, Snake_1302 said: Bug Fables. It's a spiritual successor to the first two Paper Mario games and it doesn't try to hide it, not just in gameplay, but also capturing the charm the series used to have. Unlike Paper Mario the game can get pretty challenging at times if you're playing on hard mode and don't use a very specific playstyle. Such a good game yet it only has 777 game owners on this site, a pitiful number. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes classic Paper Mario. If you haven't played Paper Mario then picture the combat from South Park Stick of Truth. Wow i never knew this game existed, thanks for recommending it. I am usually not a big fan of hard indies but this just breathes the first 2 Paper Mario games which i enjoyed very much as a kid. Definitly gonna play this!

HuntingFever Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 The Gardens Between - I'm amazed that more people haven't played this game. The puzzles are complex without being irritating or pretentious, yet give immense satisfaction when you figure out how to solve them. My only real issues are the story is a little too thin to be truly immersive and replay value is very low but if you can get this for £5 or less, it's well worth it for an Afternoon or Evening's entertainment .

HuntingFever Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Beyond Eyes - This is another one of those games that I will never understand why it got so much hate. Yes, the collectibles are a PITA but the heartfelt story and refined core gameplay make for an amazing experience . Unfortunately, bad blood between the developer and publisher means this is getting delisted in the very near future . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baranov_925 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Kingdom Come Deliverance - many people are hating this game because of raw mechanics, acting level straight from The Room and archaic background, but in my opinion, those are the strongest factors that made this game great.

balu2424 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Mass Effect Andromeda - I never understood the poor ratings and the hateful comments about this game. I really love this game, the story and the fantastic characters. I hope there will be a sequel, but I fear this will never happen. The sinking city Call of Cthulhu Both games got bad ratings too, but I've had a lot of fun with this games. Yomawari , both games are masterpieces with a sad story. Other unnoticed games I had a lot of fun with: The Journey Down Chapter 1-3 Creaks Call of the Sea TOHU Kona The book of unwritten tales 2 (What a pity, the first part was never released on Playstation) Flipping death The invisible hours Black the Fall Sea of Solitude The cave Soma 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaperveteran86 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Peaky Blinders: Mastermind: Puzzle/Stealth game with time manipulation mechanics. Really good and innovative gameplay for a TV license game. Mundaun: Atmospheric Horror/Mystery game set in the swiss alps. The graphic style looks like a mix between PSone graphics and something pencil drawn. 9 Monkeys of Shaolin:Fun brawler with a cel shading art style that feels like an 70s kung fu movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ__Beatroot Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I would have to say the FEZ is probably one of the most underrated games out there. And, it is excellent. If you want a puzzle game that is a blast to play - pick this up!! I highly recommend it for anyone's backlog. I can only surmise that some of the best non-platinum game are the most underrated. Sad, really. Players are missing out on some real gems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zizimonster Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Been playing Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, and I think it is an underrated platformer since it has only 1,842 owners tracked on this website. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such an incredibly story and combat. I would agree on Sleeping Dogs ... I'm playing it right now. Good story. Add The Saboteur (PS3) to your list.

JimNGary4Jay Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Not sure if this has been mentioned but Woah Dave such a great game. One of my firm favourites, it can be quite challenging but once you get the mechanics down it does become a great way to spend some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those games that looks unique and artistic on it's surface but hides some sort of unresolved butthurt/trauma dev happily dumps on you without any regards on your expectations from a commercial product. There are few such games (not sure if anyone here need me to name the names and stuff...) that I know of and Beyond Eyes was easily the worst of whole bunch. 9 hours ago, Eraezr said: I missed this one. Only found out about its existence after the delisting. And nothing of value was lost. Call me an asshat for SPOILING but I'll spare you the troubles: Spoiler The cat girl's after is dead in the end. Wasn't amused a bit. On the positive note, I have a little list that might be worth checking: The Fall - get into the shoes of battle suit A.I. whose pilot is unconscious and about to die without help. Get through Laws of Robotics' restrictions to solve diffferent tasks clearly not meant for our heroine (yep A.I. sounds female) to deal with. Also The Fall Part 2: Unbound Jamestown+ - simply the best bullet hell you'll ever play. Randal's Monday - a quest with unlikeable character done right (hi, Deponia). A Groundhog Day concept pushed to ridiculous extremes. Easter eggs everywhere. Jotun - slay the giants and travel through mythical Jotunheim in this "Legend of Zelda"-esque adventure of proving your worth to enter Halls of Valhalla. Last Day of June - surprisingly touching confrontation with fate. There was a car crash. Your significant other is no longer there. But what if there is a chance to change things that happened that day? ADR1FT - it's a cosmonaut sim #dealwithit. Stranded alone in open space with debris of the semi-functional station all around. Maneuvering requires some getting used to though. Amazing if you get through that "getting used to" part. Airtight experience. Return of the Obra Dinn - if you were into nautical fiction genre ever and don't mind the visual style of the game, it has the best detective work deduction aspect I've seen in videogames. Interesting way of storytelling too. UnMetal - get in NOW! Seriously. Metal Gear was never so funny. It is now. Then get UnEpic. Then Ghost 1.0 I also strongly second The Swords of Ditto, The House in Fata Morgana, Ghost of a Tale mentioned above. All great games worth both your time and money.

HuntingFever Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Glass Masquerade - This game is light years better than similarly themed shovelware drivel such as HiQ Ace and Slyde but unfortunately, not many people seem to know about it . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majob Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I haven't seen it mentioned yet so Gris. It's a simple adventure game but it's very immersive, the music is beautiful and I enjoyed the hand drawn aesthetic of the graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino_Destructo Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Just started playing "Creaks" by Amanita Design. So far I would say it is a wonderful piece of art with brilliant game design. Love the atmosphere and mystery. Released on July 22nd 2020 with currently only 462 owners here on PSNP.
