Prey 2006, definitely the most underrated game I've very much enjoyed.
I started it again a couple of months ago and it seriously held up.

I think even the new Prey is pretty underrated and it is quite good tbf.

Plenty of games I love have been mentioned.

But 1 game that hasn't been mentioned and doesn't have it's on thread on these forums is Blasphemous.
I know Metroidvania games are a bit of a niche, but I am loving this game, the gameplay, the art style. It's like playing a PS1 game influenced by Dark Souls.

some these games were mega block busters at the time...

underrated?

Severance: Blade of Darkness was way ahead of its time. Precursor to Dark Souls but overlooked partly because it was too hard for some.

Ah I loved that game. So brutal at the time!

+1 for this game. Excellent game and have just finished it recently. Came across it by chance of Steam and loved every minute of it.

Delta Force Black Hawk Down. This game was the dogs testicles back in the day.

What a classic, I was in a clan called UKA Elite. Best online gaming experience I have ever had.

Mad Max - got a very average reception but genuinely enjoyed it.
Spec Ops: The Line - gameplay wise very basic but really enjoyed the story and it didn't hold back.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

A truly delightful RPG that blended steampunk and high fantasy. Hundreds of cool story lines to follow and...to top it all. The best cookie recipe i have ever tried in the back of the manual

edit - in trying to find the recipe online. my world has been rocked by the fact that it was in fact Temple of Elemental Evil that had the cookie recipe. The arcanum recipe is for banana bread!

I did enjoy playing that, but grew increasingly annoyed at the poor “bang for my buck” that putting skill points into firearms gave me versus magical weapons and that going tech gradually made all your really useful magical companions leave you.

Freedom Fighters? Always thought it was a fun little game but reviews were very lukewarm at the time.

Joint Operations Typhoon Rising was also fun, but messy in the beginning and once BF2 was released, that was that.

Supreme commander + FA

Still the pinnacle or the RTS genre some 13 years later, marginalised by high budget but inferior franchises such as C&C and StarCraft. Offered a level of depth and grandness that still hasn't been matched to this day.

no way company of heroes 1 is the pinnacle

Tron 2.0

Return of the Obra Dinn received critical acclaim, but I'm not sure how many people actually played it. Which is a shame, because it's genuinely quite brilliant.

Spec Ops The Line

*remembers "that one room"*
*shudders*

not sure they merit this list but i do think borderlands the pre sequel and borderlands 3 get a much worse shake of things than they deserve.

helldivers is pretty fun, kind of starship troopers meets magicka

and i agree with the dishonoured franchise, yes it's off-brand theif but that's perfect for folks who aren't into freakish jump scares.
