Hi everyone,
I can't believe it has been more than 18 months since my last blog. Being a Master's student is not fun.
I want to ask you about underrated games. Games that you thinkare so underrated. I know itsstrange. lately I have beenplaying games that got 6-7.5 out of 10 here at Gamespot and other websites. Godwas I surprised!
I have been missing so much by listening to reviews and taking them seriously. In the past, I would only play a game if it got 8.5 or above. Sometimes it becomes 8 or above. Well, isn't that stupid!!
About a year ago, Istarted playing games that got under 8.I was shocked; there are many games out there, that are worth my time and money and I didn't even know.
I started by playing Darksiders. Don't get me wrong, 8 is a good score, but itis way lower than the game deserves. Get it and see for your self. Once I finished that game, I realised that I have to choose my games in a different way. I even look at gamesdifferently now. What looks great or feels great to me may not be the same tootherpeople (reviewers).
I amonly going to list games that I think are underrated at the end of this blog. They may be underrated here or at other websites. I will list themalphabetically. Before that I amgoing to write about the last underrated game I have played.
Dante's inferno. Yes, you read it wright Dante's inferno. In my opinion, is one of the best underrated games I have played so far. Graphics are great, may be less in quality in the last two levels of the game. The story is good with some surprises tell the end.It is not strong as other games but still a nice story. Gameplayandlevel designare where Dante's inferno shines. Every level (circle) feels unique in its own way. Every level you face something new. Every enemy is best approached in a different way. The music and sound effects in the gameare so creepy, that in some points in the game it feels like youare there. Re-playability is there since you can play the game in two different ways. Trophies andAchievementsare easy to collect, even on your first play through. With a price less than $19, you can't go wrong.
I would love to write about other underrated games that I enjoyed, but the blog would be longer than it should be. Should I make it a series of blogs. I will let you decide that for me, What do you think? Should I make it a series?
