Some underrated games I've played and enjoyed are:
-Enslaved: Odyssey of the West- Very Unique Game I can't even really explain it just play it
-Metro 2033- Apocalyptic type shooter. If you like Fallout but want something more survival driven and focused this is your game
-Syndicate- Very good cyberpunk shooter. Basically Deus Ex: HR, with more action
-Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning- Can't recommend this game enough. Mix Skyrim and Fable 2 and shazam you have KoA:R.
-Dragons Dogma- Good sometimes hard and frustrating medieval RPG. But very rewarding. Which rewarding is hard to come across in games lately.
What are some of yours?
