Top 5 Underrated Games Of Last-gen

TechRez - Last-gen gaming started in 2005 and collapsed in 2013, we will take a look at some great games which didn’t get enough reception from gamers across the world.

[MysticStrummer]

As always, the word underrated makes me think of MAG right away. Makes me sad I can't play it anymore. Please please please Sony... make a sequel.

[proudly_X]

Didn't know MAG had passionate fans..

[MysticStrummer]

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but MAG was my favorite online shooter on PS3, followed closely by Warhawk but that was more highly rated as far as I remember. Third place would go to BF3. Anyway, there still hasn't been anything like MAG on consoles. When Planetside 2 hits PS4 that will make me feel better, but I'd love a MAG sequel also. I'm a fan of large levels and large player counts, and no other game gave me that large battle feeling like MAG did.

But yeah there were people who played MAG regularly up until they took the servers down, and I think there was a final hurrah that last weekend or something. I missed it so I don't know if it happened but I know people at least tried to organize one.

"Stranglehol"

not sure the writer played it because it's not called Stranglehol

[Rimeskeem]

I, for one, loved the game.

It was very fun and decently balanced but it was going up against bf so yah but now it would be amazing.

[abzdine]

lots will maybe disagree cause most haven't heard much about it but Fat Princess to me is so damn underrated.
that game has it all: it is so much fun and so many are still playing it. Too bad developers and Sony didn't promote it some more. I would sign in for a sequel right away.

[Number-Nine]

MAG was my favorite FPS mp shooter. game was so fun despite having incompetent developers.

[KyRo]

Split Second was one of my favourite arcade racers of the last generation but it sold terribly, stopped working on the sequel and shut down Blackrock studio's.

I hadn't had that much fun with a racer for years. The way parts of the map would blow up causing a skyscraper to fall, a dam to burst, a mountain collapse and totally changing the layout of the track was a breath of fresh air to me.

[captainexplosion]

My most underrated would be Gears of War Judgment, Motorstorm Apocalypse, and Bulletstorm.

[stellarpanda]

Loved Bulletstorm so much. Really wish they follow it up!

[InMyOpinion]

I don't agree with Dark Sector. It looked good but the gameplay was broken. And it was repetitive.

[chemil99]

I Bloody loved Dark Sector. The whole eerie atmosphere was crazy. I miss using the glave.

[DARK WITNESS]

I am still using the Glave... In Warframe. The mark of a true Tenno.

The original Dark Sector was ok but it was not the game it should have been. Warframe is awesome but easy to write off because it's hard to get into and very repetitive on the surface.

Still it's nice that Warframe still has these little pointers that link back to Dark Sector

[chemil99]

Interesting. I'll give it a go then!

[Soapboxhero]

Really don't think dark souls was underrated, not because it wasn't great but because people seemed to like the game just fine and it got plenty of attention.

Underrated implies that it didn't get the attention it deserved or wasn't perceived to be as good as it was.

[SolidDuck]

He said demons not dark. And yes now demons is held very highly and has loyal fans. Me being one of them, it's one of my favorite series of all time. But there was a time that demons was only to be released in the east and had little to no marketing behind it. Thank goodness Altus stepped up and brought it west because Sony wasn't even willing to publish it. Eventually it outsold expectations and led to dark souls. But I kinda see why they would mention it on there list.

[gillri]

Great to see Alan Wake up there, im dying for a sequel

[Mister_G]

I enjoyed Dark Sector. It probably looks/feels dated now though.

[AstroCyborg]

first 3 were shitty games but the final 2 i agree with

[JackVagina]

catherine

[GUYwhoPLAYSvideoGAME]

starhawk, motorstorm apocalypse, resistance 3

[KingofGambling]

love those games.

[sammyspam]

Nice to see Alan Wake get a mention, I really enjoyed the game but most people have no idea about it when I bring it up. MAG needed to be on this list as well.

[chemil99]

Definitely Mirror's Edge as well.

[Vanfernal]

Valkyria Chronicles

[Bloodjunkie]

Alan Wake was the biggest disappointment of last gen in my eyes!

[Venoxn4g]

Shadows of the damned

[Knushwood Butt]

No way it deserves to be in a top 5.

I beat it three times, and enjoyed the first two runs, but the third was something of a chore.

I'd recommend people give it a play, but give them advance notice about the over the top elements, just in case they can't handle dick jokes and women in underwear.

[Dfooster]

Sleeping dogs " you wan pork bun?"

[SixtyNine]

Alan. . Wake up. Awesome game. Recently bought the franchise on steams valentines day deal. I've yet to play american nightmare, that is soley gameplay driven, it seems. Can't wait to meet Mr scratch.

[Drenchk101]

My favourite has to be Dark Sector, such an underrated game it's not even funny :( it had a great story and great gameplay mechanics, it was just a whole lot of fun!

[schlanz]

Dead Space 3 was one the most underrated game this gen.

Went from an 89% meta for 1 and 2 to a 75% meta for 3. Was it as good as the first 2? No, but it was still fun as hell and the microtransactions which everyone lamented could be entirely ignored. I'd give the first 2 games a 9.5 and 3 an 8.5.

[Tzuno]

all of them are good but dark sector is a poor game.

[Oldman100]

Singularity and Spec Ops: The Line are my picks.
