What are some underrated gems?

[sillierbillier]

Like earthbound

If you go to any of the gaming threads or just use the search function you'll find threads on hidden gems for just about every system c:

 

[DunkeyKong]

Yeah there's a lot of thread about it, like this one. Anyway, my game though would be Donkey Kong for the Gameboy

@Waffles

 

[TsuruHime]

This one gets overlooked because of V but it's still good.

 

[RirisuPK]

That would be Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 for PS2. Everyone always raves about 5, but honestly, 3 is great. People also seem to be sleeping on Risen 2. I only ever see talks about the first game. There's obviously many more, but these two came to mind right now.

I'll mention Boku no Natsuyasumi 2 or My Summer Vacation 2 again for the what fifth time or so?

And just because to keep the joke going due to there being very similar forums on here with similar titles

I played a whole lot of this game as a kid. Upon revisiting it in recent years... it still rocks. Fantastic game.

My contribution will be Last Bible III on SNES. Megaten spinoff traditional JRPG with a mind bogglingly good OST.

i gonna say someting that maybe be a little harsh, 'underated' doesnt mean 'hidden gems', it should mean games that has been 'under' the 'rating' that it deserve, it should mean 'great games that have bad rating under metacritics'

examples stella deus for the ps2 or fifa streets, games that the users ponted better that critics.

this beautyfull masterpiece was rated as 62 at metacritics.

Easy answer, every game I ever downloaded off this site.

 

[Raidou Kuzunoha]

Half-minute hero and especially Half minute hero II: the second coming. I don't think I've ever seen anyone discuss the sequel, which is a shame, since it's a lot of fun.

 

[No-Bo-Dy]

I think emeralds or saphires, people should wear em more.

 

[KirboDeku]

Klonoa: Door to Phantomile. It's an amazing game that not enough people know about. You can download it here on the Repo.

So happy I got to share this game with you. Not enough people appreciate it.
A hidden gem recommendation from me.

I still need to get to this but I don't know if it's for me.

I don't know if you'd want to finish it but I think you might find it really amusing.

Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru (GB)

There's this very underrated Philips CDI gem called Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. It's truly a cinematographic masterpiece that every person on Earth should play. It's a shame it was only released on a niche console like the CDI or else people would appreciate it more.

Random one off the top of my head, Run Saber on SNES

Isn't this game pretty much a SNES version of Shinobi? I remember it being a pretty fun game but i played it like 5 years ago.

It's pretty similar, kinda like a mix of Shinobi and Strider.

I don't see UN Squadron talked about much, but I think it's the best scrolling shooter on the SNES. Space Megaforce would probably be my #2.

Skyblazer is a very fun action platformer that I never see discussed either.

Donkey Kong '94 and Run Saber were great picks as well
