Recently found this game. It's pretty much like Vampire survivors, but with aliens and badass powers. Devs keep the game fresh. I love it.

Um Jammer Lammy on PS1. It's made by the Parappa people, and in fact you can even unlock Parappa after beating the game, making it an unofficial sequel to Parappa 1.
Also, Mary-Kate & Ashley: Get a Clue! for Game Boy Color.
It's surprisingly a decent little puzzle platformer that actually started off development as a South Park game. I'd guess that's why you can physically pick up your dog and throw it across the stage to defeat enemies in that game. 7/10.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy.
Definitely one of my favourite games this generation so far.
The issue is it probably flopped because of the Avengers game released beforehand which many thought this would be a Guardians skinned clone of.
But it was anything but. I'll admit the combat wasn't great (to be fair, there wasn't much of it anyway), but the visuals, characters, story, voice acting, attention to detail, soundtrack, variety in planets and so much more are all top notch.
Might well be the most underrated under-appreciated game i've ever come across.
It really did deserve so much better.

Earth Defense Force 6 comes out in the west later this month and I'm seeing 0 hype around here.
More people should give thode games a chance. They look super cheap and jank from the outsidez but once you get to play them you realize how well they are done and how fun they are to play. Well, at least 5 is. Also, they have co-op and a great community.
Also, SMT Synchronicity. Game is free and fun. Specially recommended if you enjoyed Deedlit's game, since the core mechanic is pretty similar, both being metroidvanias with a sort of Ikaruga color-changing mechanic to it.
EDIT: Asura's Wrath came to mind too. Just amazing at so many levels.

Batman: The Telltale Series
Never in a million years would I have believed I would care about a game like this. But I got it for free, so I eventually started it up and played.
Absolutely awesome game. The gameplay format works incredibly well for Batman.
Very highly recommended.
I'm calling this underrated because it got mediocre review scores from critics. I think they must have been expecting something other than what it was.
There is also the sequel, The Enemy Within. That one is worse in every way except for the visuals.

Great open world at sea with a dark mystery. On consoles and Steam....
Triangle Strategy
Known as a Switch game, but it is also on Steam. Great SRPG
Rebel Galaxy
Kind of like Everspace 2 but with much bigger ships available. Combat is very much like AC 4: Black Flag, but in space.

I have been having a blast with Sandland. It has a lot of that Japanese B-game charm you'd find in an overlooked/underrated PS2 or PS3 game.
If you want I can expand further

More people need to play the original Prey, from 2006. So wicked.
I really like the game I Am Alive. It's a gritty post-apocalyptic game where the core mechanics are an intense stamina-based climbing system, and the ability to threaten enemies with a gun, even an empty one (something that was featured in gameplay trailers for The Last of Us, but didn't make it into the final release).

You mean that one Helldivers-like?
I had to. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/h...-to-summer-2024/1100-6521004/#google_vignette
Crazy that it took 2 years to come here.

Yeah, more or less.
EDF has a campaign, no random stuff. 5 at least has 110 missions you can play both on single and multiplayer.
It has Diablo-like loot tables, and multiple difficulty modes each one giving you better loot. You can squeeze tons of hours put from those games, and the gameplay is super fun. 4 different classes, tons of weapons, vehicles, orbital strikes, mechas... All the good stuff.
