84 points. Should be more. At least there 4 different endings. If ME3 got "perfect score" FNV should have about 14 out of 10, I dunno.

*controversial opinion about to be aired*

I never liked New Vegas. Preferred Fallout 3, it's predecessor. One thing have noticed a lot of people stating AP, but with so many people stating it does it not mean it is not underrated because so many people actually express here they liked it. If nothing else it is highly rated by a lot of people here.

Remind me one poll, occured on one particular sportclub site, regarding favorite sport club. I think you can easily guess what club won that poll. Image IPB

A SURPRISING NUMBER OF PEOPLE WILL JUST WHINE ABOUT IT BEING BUGGY WHENEVER IT'S MENTIONED, AND AS MENTIONED, 84 METACRITIC.

Ironically I have yet to play it myself, I bought it few weeks back and it is in front of me sitting on my desk in piles of games but as of yet I haven't even installed it. I'll get around to it. I figure must be a reason why so many people like it so will certainly give it a try and the amount of praise got on here from people is why I picked it up in first place (and the fact was very cheap).

I consider Infinite Undiscovery to be very underrated. I enjoy the hell out of that game.

Right. I wish people would stop putting so much stock into Metacritic especially publishers.

Also wish you'd stop using caps.

Cheap. I got mine for less than 1 buck, IIRC. Or something like it.
It's typical Obsidian game - crappy graphics (but adequate and even, not like ME3), funny animations, bugs, console style save mechanism, but a ton of gameplay variations and combinations (few pure winning, though (IMHO)) and quite interesting story. Not railroaded.

These games may not be underrated review-wise, but they certainly are by the people I have met. Perhaps they are criminally unknown games instead.

Jagged Alliance 2

Awesome turn-based strategy/RPG game. Probably my favorite and easily beats the legendary UFO: Enemy Unknown gameplay-wise (whether you like the setting is another story, but I did). JA3 is pure heresy and should be avoided at all costs.

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
(thanks for reminding me Naughty99)

As a roleplayer who has read much of HP Lovecraft's work, this one is just pure gold. The atmosphere alone is enough to make this one a winner.

X-COM: Apocalypse

Few UFO fans I know played this one. It's a shame, because in my opinion it was actually incredibly fun.

Warlords series (except number 4)

Not underrated I guess. But they are still immensely playable and nobody seems to know about them anymore. Can you guess who's a fan of turn-based strategy yet?

I absolutely love it, but my main two complaints are:

1. The bugs of course. I assume they are the reason it doesn't score in the 90s.
2. It's too easy at high levels.

Why it's underrated? It was quite popular in her time IIRC. I know, I remember several sectors even now, right to the positions of the enemies. Damn, I'm nerd!Image IPB

Not only JA3, but JABtB, and some other rip-offs of concept.

Wildfire is good, though - basically more the same, in this case it was right what I was needed.

Yes, I do remember them, Too bad I no longer have them. I remember WL3, probably my favorite. Image IPB

Game has so much awesomeness, story, immersion and every other smart intellectual word reviewers so like to use, so I ignore bugs. Yes, it crashes, yes, it refuses to load freshiest save, animation sucks, graphic is outdated, ballistic is stupid and you know what? I don't care. Not at all. This game gave me everything I want, so I can close my eyes on all drawbacks.
And final headshot to ME3: ED-E (not to be confused with EDI). Second one. Yes, that one. I feel sorry for him much more than for any enforced teh dramah in ME3, especially that kiddo bullcrap.
P.S. If it is easy - mod it. Unlike ME3 you don't need to perform rectal acrobatics to do that. Image IPB

As someone who owns every single X-Com title I agree. Enemy Unknown was my favorite (they are remaking that one, the guys who created CiV in collaberation with 2K). Apoc was probably my second favorite, however I would say Terror From the Deep deserves more praise than recieved when talking about scale of underrated titles.

I actually liked the save system in AP.  In other games you can just save before a conversation and replay it until you get the conversation you feel is best (In first time play especially) In AP it locks you in with the save so you have to either live with the consequences of those actions or replay the previous segment and try again.

Mirror's Edge is another great but overlooked game.

Every now and then a glimmer of hope for a sequal comes up but nothing comes of it.

Still have a blast running the subway tunnel level.


I agree. Despite the flaws and how short the game really is, I just love Mirror's Edge. The scenary, the music, and even the style of gameplay just makes the game awesome.

There's still that glimmer of hope since it has been said that Mirror's Edge 2 will run on the Frostbite 2 engine... course for all we know they may have indefinitely put off Mirror's Edge 2 :(

I like New Eden, Pirandello Kruger, and Kate levels.


Mirror's Edge is considered underrated? That's a huge shame, I loved Faith, the cyberpunk city and the whole concept of parkour in 1st person. Easily top twenty games of all time for me.

Splinter Cell Conviction. It's not as stealthy as other SC titles, but it's still a great game. It has the best cover system of any 3rd person shooter ever made. It's really that good. Also, it has a traditional Tom Clancy spy novel feel to it, and the writing combined with the voice acting of Sam, Grim and Vic really drives home the feel that Sam's a 50 something retired ex-marine spy out for revenge. It's like playing a game where the main protagonist is David Webb only twenty years in the future.

You can also add Just Cause 2 to the list of great underrated games. If you ever thought Grand theft auto wasn't big enough, or that Saints Row wasn't crazy enough, then Just Cause 2 is perfect for you, since it blows both out of the water. The biggest selection of planes, boats, cars, bikes, suvs, and weapons humanly possible to make in one game and it all takes place one of the biggest sandboxes ever made. Seriously a great game.

Blows Saints Row's craziness out of the water? I find that hard to believe.

Man I hate Conviction it was more action and less stealth.

Yeah, it was no Double Agent, but you could play it that way. It did force a few action sequences on you though that you're unable to sneak through. Still, it has one of the best spy stories in games that I've ever seen.

I was just musing over the irony..."Saints Row" being CRIMINALLY underrated...pardon the pun:)
