I'm not sure if these ones are "underrated" but I'll list them anyways:

Sled Storm

I've read pretty bad reviews for these two PSP games, "Coded Arms" and "Coded Arms Contagion", but I enjoyed them, so in my opinion they are underrated but worth a try if you like first-person-shooter :)
They look solid!

A lot of games from the 90s, 00s, and 10s that people seem to have forgotten.
There have got to be many overlooked and underrated titles from the past few years too.
I wonder if anybody has heard of these?

The Laura Bow games are pretty underrated.

So is Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet.

Anachronox doesn't get nearly enough love, either.
I haven't thought of Laura Bow in a milllllllion years, I got so mad playing The Colonel's Bequest when someone showed me the secret passages I missed EVERY SINGLE TIME

Edit: On topic...I'm having a hard time thinking of underrated, and not just "obscure".

Maybe Working Designs Lunar? For all the complaining people make about it, I played it a dozen times back in the 90's without issue.

It's a tremendously punishing franchise... you can get a game over by eating a sandwich, but it won't even tell you just how screwed you are.
 
i wanna know some underrated games... some REAL.. underrated games hehe
Gunnm Kasei no Kioku: Gunnm Martian Memory a game which was only released in japan. Based off the Battle Angel Alita series. And also Last Armageddon an obscure RPG that also never came out of Japan.

Yeah I know some people hate them but I've always really liked Working Designs' works. Their PS1 Lunar 1 & 2 are my preferred versions as well.

Mighty Number 9, while not being a fantastic game, was very underrated in my option.
It was decent and I enjoyed it.
 
When people discuss Earthbound-like RPG, they always bring Undertale and LISA to the desk, even the obscurer mentions only bring Yume Nikki, but gentlemen, THIS is the one that started the trend

This game may look like another Undertale Ripoff, but it actually came in 2009, a solid SIX YEARS BEFORE, it aged regularly in terms of gameplay, being so easy even the hardest bosses will die if you choose AUTO combat as long as you grind to at least get equipment, but the story is so entrailing and cryptic you want to keep playing, is not a happy story tho, so play carefully

If that is not your cup of tea, try something fluffy

RPG explorers with a sweet story of romance with harsh comment on racism coated in a carnivore-hervivore conflict, the characters are memorable and they aren't that long owing to a lack of RPGisms, bring tissues

Ragnarok Battle Offline, a PC beat em up set in the Ragnarok Online world, featuring many places of the original in a cartoon 2D style. Features a level system, classes with unique movesets and plenty of stages with multiple bosses each. It also has an excellent sense of humor, but you may only get the references if you played the MMO.

Great game series by NomnomNami.
 
IKR

The final chapter is currently in development, so if you want the updates so far for free hurry up since she is going to make the game paid once she finish it

The Webcomic, Another Piece of Candy, is also neat
I might have to look into that some time, since I haven't read it before.
 
Zenonia Games for the Phone. Ones 1-3. Fans even made a remaster of Games 1-3, to be able to play on more updated phones.

Also, would the PS2 version of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 by Black Box, be considered Underrated? The PC and PS2 Versions are completely different.
