A lot of the games being mentioned (not just these) aren't underrated. People are just naming games that were a critical success but commercially didn't do so hot because collectively, gamers are stupid.

Seconded

I'd consider Mana Khemia and Atelier Iris underrated titles. they've got ~70 ratings on Metacritic, but they hold a special place in my heart because they have fusion/alchemy systems that not only don't suck (looking at you Star Ocean 3 and Rogue Galaxy), but are also primary focuses of the games.

Bonus points for both Mana Khemia games because they were released after the next-gen consoles launched so they didn't get any attention anyway.

Pretty much any game Suda51 was involved in.

Except No More Heroes. That game made it cool to like obscure Japanese game design experiments. It also has an 83 Metacritic rating.

And that's pretty much the only game he was involved with that has a sequel. That's awesome it got one (Cause I was honestly shocked when I heard the news), but we also need a damn sequel to Killer7...

Steambot Chronicles imo extremely underrated.

Probably Suikoden. The fandom is so small too 🙁

I wanted to say Okami and Beyond Good & Evil, but they're not really "underrated". They were both critical successes, but they sold poorly. That's why it's hard to label something underrated. Those two games are highly rated so they're not underrated. At the same time, one of the biggest measuring sticks for games is its commercial success. So, in that sense, those games are underrated.

Mountain blade

panzer bandit, it was short but sweet sidescroller , kinda like streets of rage but better. (for the ps one)

O man i loved panzer bandit, great game right there

Oh and also shogun total war (tho the rest of the total war series are not underated at all)

Sigma Harmonics by far. It's such a great game.. <3 One of my all time favourites.

Jet Set Radio (dreamcast)

If anyone knows this game and played it you'll know it made the name "cel-shade".
I don't see good games like this too much these days.

I believe in letting people do as they wish, as do I myself. Sometimes, of course, what I wish to do is kill them and they do not wish to die. This gives life interest.
