Second Sight and Prototype 1 & 2 are genuinely underrated masterpieces, both are engaging and really fun.

Sonic Unleashed, while it does garner a fair amount of praise today, doesn't get nearly the respect it should get. This game should have simply been revered as the masterpiece it is.

Almost any older games like Midnight club Los Angeles or gta4 ....it's low-key dumb as hell that if anyone finds out you enjoy older games they rip om you for it...to me just means they never had a decent taste

Yakuza (the entire franchise, including like a dragon)

A Hat In Time

ion know if this game FELL OFF or is just underrated, but ik people dont talk about it a lot

 Island Saver by Natwest

ik its supposed to be "educational" but i personally find the concept cool, and i found it rlly fun when i played it on my switch

these r my opinions and id be up for debates

Can't underscore how much I see people talking about the Pro Skater games and how little I see people mention the Underground games.

Tony Hawk's Underground 1 and 2 were a big departure from the THPS series - mechanically and storywise - and coming from someone who grew up playing the THUG games and never being able to touch the THPS games (or American Wasteland for that matter) - I hate to see them not get the recognition they deserve.

Bitchin' stories, Bitchin' soundtracks, Bitchin' memories. It's telling that the biggest fan-run continuation is built on the back of THUG 2.

Fantasy Life for the 3DS!! It's getting a sequel on the switch soon, but the Original Fantasy Life of the 3DS is an amazingly simple game with a boat ton of content!! I really reccomend it for anyone looking for some 3DS Titles to enjoy

Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 

The NPCs and Dialogue have a layer of depth that is so rarely seen both in classic and modern games, add to that he game is just plain fun. Be sure to download the unofficial patch tho

Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes is a fun wii/ps3 title. It's a musou game but it plays similarly to devil may cry (it also helps that capcom also made it). It's the best musou game in my opinion and i'd recommend everyone who likes hack and slash games to check this title out.

Dogz - A cute GBA game I used to spend all my time on as a kid.

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex - Was it technically good? Not really, but I loved it anyway and it had some good ideas.

Honestly I feel like a lot of handheld games get overlooked. Mario Kart DS, Pokémon Yellow (I literally never hear anyone talking about it), etc.

Scooby Doo Night Of 100 Frights

Sonic Heroes

  • Thief 1 (Gold) & Thief 2 (Metal age)
  • Deus Ex
these 3 r insanely good even tho they're almost a quarter century old at this point
no stealth game before or after is as good as thief gold or thief 2, and deus ex is top tier as far as immersive sims go... well there's not much competition for imsims, genre died out a long time ago :(
theres some new games that are inspired by them like prey or gloomwood.. and they're good but still lacking something i cant put my finger on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

some random newer ones that come to mind
  • Katana Zero
  • Furi
  • Noita
  • Haven
& for obscurity bonus points (you should never. ever. play it) og pathologic is a gem

Neo The World Ends With You and 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim are some of the most unique, creative, and well written games their respective studios have ever put out, but they were killed by the complete refusal to advertise them in any capacity. 

Also Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. I've never heard anyone talk about it ever, but it's really good

Spiritfarer. It's more of a chill game but needs more recognition none the less

Killer Instinct 2013 doesn't get enough love imo. It's so close to Xbox Smash Bros it's not even funny, the soundtrack is boss (shout-out Mick Gordon, Atlas Plug, and Celldweller), and the gameplay fucking rules.

I sincerely think that TimeSplitters Future Perfect is a REALLY underrated gem for the ps2. The game has incredible customization, great maps, a fantastic 1 or 2 player campaing, great gameplay and a ton of gamemodes, and yet non of my friends had even heard of it, such a shame.

Nights Both the orriginal game and the Wii game! I also think that Gungrave is very underrated along with El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron and No straight roads! these are all cool and underrated games i hear like little to no one talk about!
