killamch89 Posted Wednesday at 11:54 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:54 PM We all have that one game that flew under the radar or didn't get the love it deserved. Whether it was overshadowed by bigger titles, released at the wrong time, or simply didn’t get enough marketing, which game do you think was criminally underrated?

Scorpion Posted Thursday at 02:54 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:54 PM Totally agree! "Transistor" is an underrated gem. Its unique art style, storytelling, and combat mechanics deserve far more recognition and love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted Thursday at 11:33 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 11:33 PM One game I always bring up when this topic comes up is Spec Ops: The Line. It had a brilliant narrative and a really bold take on modern warfare themes, but it didn’t get nearly as much attention as it deserved when it released.

I absolutely agree, I love Spec Ops: The Line. At first glance it just looks like any other miltary shooter, but it goes a lot deeper the more you get into it. I remember the loading screen messages that made you feel guilty for playing the game, like "Do you feel like a hero yet?" killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted Friday at 07:52 AM Share Posted Friday at 07:52 AM One other game that I absolutely loved that I feel like I never see anyone talk about is Paradise Killer. The game is set in literal Paradise, and there has been a murder, hence the title of the game. It's up to your character, Lady Love Dies to solve the murder by exploring a gorgeous, vaporwave aesthetic island to collect clues, and by interrogating the island's inhabitants, a colourful cast of characters with names like Dr. Doom Jazz, Witness To The End and Crimson Acid. Also the game has one of the best soundtracks of any game I have ever played. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't remember about this game to be honest and even though it has its issues, it's a pretty fun game for people who like murder mysteries and doing detective work in-game.
