The most underrated video game ever

[Baican Cristian]

Shadow of The Colossus - people have heard of it , but few have experienced it. This game is kinda like sex in my hometown.

That's a pretty heavy question to ask...

...IMO, Metro 2033. It got good reviews, but many gamers haven't given it one look.

This. A million times this.
It's one of few games where i got a sense of atmosphere, unlike Fable or most other games.

It's got so much going for it. Sadly for it's popularity it's not a COD clone.

Close Combat V. It is a wargame for wargamers, so the demographics are narrow, but the gameplay of PvP is absolutely amazing. It lives on for a fanatical few, and it hasn't been beaten for pure quality of GAMEPLAY by any other game. It's saving private Ryan X1000. Most people have never heard of it. As for single player campaign, the AI is no good and its way TOO easy, so its not that great, its PVP where it REALLY shines. I can't think of another game where you can be that scared of moving some men across a field. And a full campaign, online, that is wargamers heaven.

I don't really think Minecraft falls into the underrated category... it is widely played and respected as one of the top indie games on the market.

I can't claim it to be the most underrated out of all underrated games, but Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy was a really fun game, and I never see anyone talk about it.

That is a game that will forever be in my heart. I feel ya.

Oi!! give me a break I've spent the last 4 hours playing Deus Ex on realistic and drinking cheap whiskey.

My bad this is the first forum I have ever started to get actively involved in. I misinterpreted your post.

Dwarf Fortress.

Yeah.

People complain about the "Learning Overhang" Of getting into the game, but it reaaaaly is worth it. Easily the best game ive played in years, possibly ever.

MAG. Great gameplay, it's not trying to be Call of Duty, handles up to 256 very well without lag and it's only two flaws are intentional. The low graphic quality is to cut down on lag and the fact that you can't change sides (without DLC) is because the whole game is supposed to simulate an actual war.

 

[Druss the Legend]

Armed and Dangerous. Ive only ever seen it mentioned once on here.

Hi-larious.
Just watch this clip.

I'll go with Alpha Protocol and Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit.

Warlords Battlecry II [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warlords_Battlecry_II]

The single greatest RTS in the history of history, and yet I know of only 2 people besides me who had played it. I strongly urge anyone who loves RTS's to give it a shot. 12 unique races, with different unit/building sets for each, and a role-playing element for the characters' Hero. Brilliant, brilliant game.

Or better yet Warlords Battlecry III, it's pretty much the same thing with more polish.

 

[Polite Sage]

One of the best freeware puzzle games, no one has heard of. It also has a translation patch.

Earth defense force 2017, the video game equivalent of the "so bad it's good" B movie.
The only reason it's underrated is because it's impossible to find, and therefore not many people have heard of it.

E.D.F! E.D.F!

My vote goes for this one.

Also for tower defense games Ghost Hacker (on Krongregate) was great, as was Lock's Quest on Nintendo DS. I also have to add King's Story on Wii to that list (though it's more like Pikmin). Instant friend to anyone who has played these three games. Anyone?... anyone? [tumble weeds and crickets]... Anyone?

 

[Voodoomancer]

SiN: Episodes. It's a game running on the source engine, has similar gameplay to the Half Life games, the story is sufficient to keep the game together, but is unimportant. Its a good run-around-shooting-things kind of game, and I picked it up in a bargain bin.

 

[Juk3n]

Modern Warfare 3 is being underrated like a M***erF***er. Just sayin.

MAG was fun, I agree. I think my main problem with it though was the very limited amount of maps.

 

[DoctorPhil]

Duke Nukem Forever without a doubt. The amount of h8 is way too much and undeserved.
