Most Underrated Games of all time? (PC only)

My vote goes for http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/obsidian/index.html?tag=result;title;1

Probably one of the most amazing surreal adventure games ive ever played.

Windows Solitaire and PinballRK-Mara

Bingo, I've spent more hours on Solitaire then half my gaming collection. Good times.

Myst

Dune

Castles Siege and Conquest

Total War Series

World in Conflict

Mad Dog McGee

i'd have to say titan quest. got like a 7.6 or something on metacritic.

Myst

Dune

Castles Siege and Conquest

Total War Series

World in Conflict

Mad Dog McGee

srbbnd

Joke post? all of those got good reviews and get lots of praise from the community.

heart of iron 2, that game deserve 9.5.

Death to spy is also extremely underrated, I never played a non shooter ww2 that fun, except heart of iron 2 lol.

Rune

Aquaria

Arx Fatalis

AVP 1 and 2 i barely hear these games mentioned.6matt6

Some of the older lucasarts games

Day of the Tentacle

Sam and Max Hit The Road

Monkey Island

Or going even older, anyone remember One Must Fall? the robot fighting game from dos says?

How about hot rod, or scorched earth.

*sigh*

witcher and stalker in recent times

Starsiege Tribes

Mechwarrior 2 mercenaries

Psychonauts - no one bothered to buy it including myself. biggest_loser

Oh yeah.... that too. That game was basically ignored until a few months after it was released and suddenly everyone slowly learned of it and then loved it.

[QUOTE="6matt6"]AVP 1 and 2 i barely hear these games mentioned.Doom_HellKnight

I agree too. That and the System Shock series. System Shock 1 was eclipsed by Doom 2 and System Shock 2 was eclipsed by Thief: The Deadly Shadows and Half-Life. They were both undoubtably better.

How the heck did DS overshadow System Shock 2? They came out six years apart. That is just absurd. TDS is one of the most underrated games ever made as I have stated previously. It should be called a cla**ic, like the SS series often referred to as (mostly the second game).

SS2 and HL are so different as well...

Should have posted this...go checkn it out. One of my top 10 of all time..

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/sanitarium/index.html?tag=result;title;0

Sanitarium....the greatest adventure survival horror game ever.Cabal23

I thought I was the only one who bought a copy of that game, it was terrific.

Then there was GRIM FANDANGO another great one, but the most under rated has to be the LITTLE BIG ADVENTURE series
(aka TWINSEN) great story, great world, and hilarious characters, and no one's ever heard of it

Underated ?

in terms of reviews - Vampire Bloodlines

in term of community appreciation - arkanum

SS2 and HL are so different as well...

I think he was talking about Metal Age. SS2 and the contemporary Thief game used the same engine, the developers said they can create a hybrid .exe that loads both of them.

SS2 and HL are different, but HL was released earlier and it was something like today's Crysis: every new game was lost in it's hype. I guess everybody bought HL over SS2... And that's why Levine pasted the SS2 story in BioShock - he knew it's instant win and that today's reviewers and gamers don't know anything about it. And also that they are easily impressed by anything that's more complicated than searching the golden key...

Vampire - Bloodlines: The Masquerade - I second this title.

Darwinia - You should play it.

8)

I just come back from an UberSoldier session...

Not bad. Crap story and voices, but the gameplay pwnz. Fast arcade shooter, with crazy physics.

Here it got a 4.6

I give it an 8.

The original Unreal doesn't get enough credit, up against all the frothing of the mouth over games like Quake and HL

Also Chrome - well above average shooter, but no-one ever mentions it

I'm surprised someone said Deus Ex, though, it was Game of the Year, and you still see it for sale everywhere, i'm not sure it was that underrated - it is great though!

Even if it was the Metal Age they were released two years apart.

As for your "comments" towards Bioshock that is just absurd because everyone knows about System Shock 2 and I really think that you are denouncing gamers by saying they are impressed by anything. The story isn't "pasted" - the game stands on its own merits thank you very much. I don't get this "instant win" talk..

mafia is probably the greatest overlooked game of all time. I mean great reviews and things but the players just didnt seem intrestedbonafidetk

AvP 1 and 2, i thought those were **** great a few years back.

Star Trek elite fore 2. hehe i kno, its star trek, but it was fun.

• Vampire - Bloodlines: The Masquerade

Also

• Prey
• Clive Barkers UNdying

Star Trek elite fore 2. hehe i kno, its star trek, but it was fun.

I meant Thief: The Dark Project. And also, Thief recieved more praise AT THE TIME OF IT'S RELEASE than System Shock 2. But, I agree with you. Thief is still underrated.

And also, about HL. Look at what Baranga said.
