The Most Overrated "underrated" Games Ever

[TwoHeadedBoy]

It's a misleading title, yes, but this topic is about all those games that people say are underrated, so you play them, only to find that they are justifiably underrated. Know what I mean?

For a start, I nominate Demon's Crest for the SNES. It's all well and good, that fight with a dragon before the game even starts, that first platformy level thing, but after that...

Well, I flew all over that map countless times, and every time I landed, it's the same first platformy level all over again! Frustration led to me declaring that this game wasn't a huge success (as far as I'm aware) for reasonable reasons indeed.

...I love Demon's Crest....

Pretty much... the whole oddworld series.

Oddworld is overrated to begin with. Nothing underated about that.

Demon's Crest is one of my favourite SNES games. Yes, it's a platformer. But it's a bloody good platformer.

I've got nothing whatsoever against platformers, I've loved them since Shadow of the Beast on me ole' Spectrum (not that that's STRICTLY a platformer), it's just I've been reading a lot on Demon's Crest, a game I'd not heard of and how it's a "lost classic" or something, so I downloaded it, and got stumped, that's all. It's all opinions, 'kay?
