Video game release schedules are ridiculously packed with great games at this point in time, which means that invariably, some gems are always going to get lost in the shuffle. 2021 had a large number of such games that either didn’t do as well as they should have, or just didn’t do well at all, period, and here, we’re going to shine a light on a few such games that deserve more of your attention.
