Underrated games...

[PSVitaForever]

ive never heard of this game (not so big on suikoden), looks great, how would you rate it? recommend?

I remember I liked it; after reading reviews, years later, I also remembered the high number of random encounters, it can become annoying, and (if I'm not mistaken) lack of maps in dungeons, but this is quite common in old rpgs. Like other "Suikoden" titles, you have more than 100 characters to recruit, many for your party and many for your castle. Graphics are nice and colourful (for a ds game), the battles are turn-based with three or four party members; if you're interested and you can get it here in the repo, just do it, because I think the prices for physical version are quite high nowadays. I recommend it because I liked it, and I think a jrpg fan used to old games may like it, but still you should read reviews/watch videos to have a better idea.

Not underrated by any means but most peak ps1 game is definitely Crash 2 imo.
Most underrated-peak would be probably Ape Escape.

Koudelka.
Baroque.
Planet Laika.
Brave Fencer Musashi.

I wonder if they are still considered underrated these days.

As for peak, just play Xenogears.

silent bomber
einhander

cleopatra fortune

Not underrated as a series but Final Fantasy 8 is underrated as hell. A lot of people like 7 and 9 but 8 is not that much talked about. It is my favorite FF game.

 

[Neb Lleb]

I really recommend Omega Boost.

Underrated only? Or both peak games AND underrated games?

Well here's some that I like that don't pop up often in best of lists:

Peak? Like best of the best? Quite a lot of games honestly, but here's some:

FF 8 is way better than 9. I found FF 9 to be boring with lame characters and I hated that Excalibur II crap. I also missed the aesthetics of 7 & 8 over the bland medieval setting of 9. In fact, everything about FF 9 is just that, bland.

In a similar vein, this did action oriented horror before Resident Evil 4 did

Underrated peak PS1 game?
There's a lot, but four of them instantly came to my mind.

Soumatou/Deception III: Dark Delusion

The Legend of Legaia

Dewprism/Threads of Fate

Monster Farm 2/ Monster Rancher 2

Underrated peak PS1 game?
There's a lot, but three of them instantly came to my mind.

Soumatou/Deception III: Dark Delusion

The Legend of Legaia

Dewprism/Threads of Fate

For some reason I remembered Deception III being a PS2 game LOL. I guess I mixed it up with Trapt. Great choice

Volfoss, a tactical role-playing game featuring creatures designed by the sadly departed Yasushi Nirasawa.

Vagrant Story and Metal Gear Solid, I think.

The best Strider game, unless we count Osman

 

[werewolfx]

The best Strider game, unless we count Osman

yet another underrated game. Why did people forget strider existed outside of Marvel Vs Capcom?
