What is the most underrated game you really enjoyed/loved this generation?

Just out of curiousity of what kind of underrated games people love. Mine is Spec Ops:The Line. I found it in a cheap bin at Wal-Mart never heard about till I seen it. Bought it for $19.98, as a joke, thinking the game was crap.

was I sadly misteaken. Spec Ops: The Line is absolutely incredible. It was like A Macbeth covered up in ba vampire romance novel. I mean Spec was just mind blowing.

Ill agree with Two World's 2...it was a great game just overshadowed by the disaster that the first game was...and Overlord, a very fun game that I absolutely love but never really heard many people talking about

Not many people grabbed WET when it came out, but I found it interesting, a female lead always intrigues me.

A couple of them:

Nier.  A very good open world RPG, with fun combat and fantastic music and characters.  Some of the funnest boss fights I've seen in a long time.  One of the most memorable games of this gen.

Dark Void.  Sci-fi shooter where you had a jetpack which opened up the entire vertical dimension completely.  Huge variety of very creative environments, great variety of gameplay, really good music, and a pretty good story too. 

Actually, I found Lolipop Chainsaw pretty addictive. i liked ot oddles more than wet

These 4 games are so very underrated:

Deadly Premonition

Shadows of the Damned

Metro 2033

Two Worlds 2

Project Gotham Racing 4.

i consider everyday shooter to be among the best games this generation. so many games throw in a bunch of frivolous mechanics for that sake of fun that don't really add anything to the experience. everyday shooter is still a fun game, but it includes exactly what it needs and nothing else that doesn't add to the themes of the levels.

i guess i hold more esteem for nelson tethers: puzzle agent than most people do too. i've played point & click adventure games that are considered to be among the best games of all time and what holds them back are the puzzles. they feel like they don't need to be there. it's like i'm supposed to be saving the day but instead i'm making fishing rods out of curtain wires and rubber duckies. puzzle agent is different because the puzzles have to be there. they're something between a dark urge and a bad itch.

Bionic Commando.

Still one of my very favorite games of this generation and despite some rough edges the full game, especially in later levels, is fantastic, unique and a perfect 3D approximation of the franchise from which it was spawned.

Two Worlds 2 was a great game, even if it is flimsy in ways and very un-polished. That all adds to the appeal of that game.

Also, Majin and The Forsaken Kingdom was a surprising game that I enjoyed.

Sneak King is a game that surprisingly I've had a lot of fun with, and can be quite challenging.

The ones I really enjoyed /loved are

• Arma 2
• Sleeping Dogs
• RE6
• Alpha Protocol (sigh this game had so much potential)
• Lego Lord of the Rings
• DMC (reboot)
• Enslaved Odyssey to the West
• Dragon's Dogma
• Spec Ops The Line

I can't believe I forgot Deadly Premonition! It's a 'B movie' of the video game world, and it's great.

Underrated can mean under sold or under played. High ratings don't mean sales unfortuantly, otherwise Rayman Origins would of sold 3 million+ instead of barely 1 million.

MP3 gets ripped on a lot and people still think MP1 is still the best MP game, personally I think MP3 > MP2 > MP1.

Sonic 06. No joke. The game is very fun and gets an unjustified amount of hate. If you liked Sonic Adventure, you'll like Sonic 06.

Brutal Legend. Im one of the few people that loved the Rts/Action gameplay with open world roaming in the single player. Not to mention the excellent humor and charectars in the game. It also helps im a metalhead and the game is practically one giant tribute to metal.

Two games made for online multiplayer - 

Chromehounds

Shadowrun

Chromehounds was building a giant mech like a work of lego and then the combat was actually strategical and required teamwork. Shadowrun was like a fantasy version of counterstrike with magic such as teleporting and turning into smoke, and technology like seeing through walls and supercharged reflexes. It's an eternal shame neither of these games became really popular with a big online following. 

Wet. I wouldn't say it was underrated, but, for what it was, I had a blast playing it.
