In case you hadn’t noticed, there are rather a lot of video games out there. We reckon you could take a year off work to play as much as you could and still end up meekly admitting defeat to your almighty backlog at the end of it.
We could wax lyrical for hours about the Zeldas, the Red Dead Redemptions and the God of Wars of this world, but not every game can be one of those.
- Vote for the best retro games of all time
Inevitably, countless games come and go without making much of a lasting impact. Sometimes it’s a case of not getting the critical recognition they deserve, or at all. Or perhaps broadly positive press isn’t reflected in sales figures, and we never hear from them again.

Allow us, then, to celebrate 10 of the most underrated games ever, and if you spot one of your favourites in there, give it a vote. And if we've missed an underrated gem then let us know in the comments below...
