There’re underrated by some degree, and in large part it’s not totally known why they don’t catch on. The fifteen titles included in this rundown exemplify a feeling of underratedness, but for the purposes of this feature we’re not just talking games that haven’t reviewed as well as they should. Games that’re overshadowed, overlooked, or underplayed have also been considered.

Nine Sols

If you’re waiting for Silksong, play Nine Sols.
