I didn't want to bump up decade years old thread but here's it. What is your most underrated game.

For me it's Rose & Camellia - The Rose bride of legend. It's so perfect in every way. So simple but yet so satisfying.

I just played through the game you posted, and it was indeed hilarious and awesome. I call it "Slappa Bitch Simulator" lol

I'd say a hugely underrated game this year is Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo. It's a top-down Zelda-style adventure game (with some metroidvania elements), and it has some of the best puzzles and gameplay mechanics of the genre.

Definitely worth giving a try. It's excellent. There's even some really difficult sequence breaking you can do, that the devs were aware of and reward you for.

Don't buy at full price, it usually goes on sale for very cheap.

Don't judge me, but I actually dig the crap out of this game back in the day.

Even though I still have no idea why the first game based on the Matrix franchise completely ditched Neo out of it :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Also honorable mention to this one:

The use of the right analogue stick to actually do all the fighting was pretty unique to me.

I have a soft spot for these low to mid range budget games. Everything is solid except exploration rewards, which mostly boil down to extra materials for leveling or crafting stuff. Love the art style.
 
I always love threads like these, its always great to discover fellow GAFers hidden gems. Thanks for making it OP.

My two games:

I rather enjoy mind-fucky games with twisted narratives and brisk gameplay. These two never get any love.
 
For me, it's Enclave. This game had an incredible atmosphere (with fantasy/Lord of the Rings vibes), beautiful and varied levels, amazing orchestrated music, and graphics that blew me away in 2002 (pixel shader water, sharp textures, bump mapping, big open levels, high quality character models). The combat could have been better (more predictable), but I still had great fun completing this game on Xbox Classic. I've replayed this game maybe 10 times over the years.

Gameplay on the original Xbox.



The game was also ported to PS4.

Of all time? Banana Prince. I played dozens of hours and always found something new. I reversed engineered the password system when I was like 11 or 12 to get all possible passwords to start at the final boss with no upgrades or to start the game with full upgrades. And I played it in Japanese in a famiclone, there weren't roms or English patches back then.

Shilling for UNSIGHTED is my full time job. It's a top down action adventure with a map you can tackle in any way you want. It's a Zelda game with parries and Metroidvania elements.

It's peak.
 
Came here to say Dragons Dogma but since El Hee-Ho El Hee-Ho has already mentioned it I will just say Commandos:Behind the Enemy Lines



First PC game I played.

Loved Commandos back then! The first game and it's expansion were a bit too hard for my younger self, but I remember enjoying the second game quite a lot.

I was so surprised at how good this game ran on Xbox. I need to get back into it but the fast travel was so bad. Game is great though!
Yeah the fast-travel might require some time getting used to. Thing is, with the Dark Arisen DLC they gave the player a fast-travel item that has infinite uses. Still limited since you can only travel to a few select places (that you have to create by placing an item there), but imo much better than how it was originally.

UNSIGHTED
Looks cool! Is it anything like Hyper Light Drifter? Loved that game.
