Nox was one of my favorite RPG's growing up. It never caught on though really, even though the multiplayer was also fantastic. Too bad EA bought out westwood and made them shut down the nox servers and pump out shitty C&C games T_T

In my opinion

Lost Odyssey and Terranigma

Terranigma... best RPG ever

Terranigma is great during the first half, but then it starts to suck badly imo. Especially when you go to Japan with modern buildings etc. while the rest of the world still lives in wooden houses and doesn't even know about electricity. Something is off here.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

There will always be someone who rates a game high, this thread is more about "unpopular" than underrated games. now instead of qouting everyone saying that the game they mentioned is not underrated, start to contribute to the thread.

Except those games *aren't* unpopular. And there's a difference between "there will always be someone who rates a game high" and "every mainstream gaming media source gives this game 8+/10". All 3 of those games fall into the latter category.

As far as actually underrated games:

http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/

Both the Geneforge and Avernum series are generally derided for their poor graphics, but beyond that offer a deeper RPG experience than many modern CRPGs.

I agree... And also Nethergate by them is really cool. But their newer games felt a bit worse imo, it was so damn linear at least when I tried the demos of some recent game of both series. You were running much more in a tube than I was used to in a game of those series.

And saw a article/blog by their main developer too on that, he wanted the games to be less frustrating now when you know more clearly what to do and don't run into enemies way out of your league by accident. But for me that's the whole point in such games, exploring the world when you gotta use your brain a bit to figure out the situation.

But at least Nethergate, Avernum 1-3, and Geneforge 1-2 are more open world for the most part, I don't think I've played all of them but I know I should :D
If you have to ask, you don't know.

I would go with Suikoden but I dont think its underrated. I think everyone who knows about it thinks its awesome (as do I, of course).
Therefore, my vote goes to Legend of Legaia. Its a great game and has fighting game elements.

Tales of Symphonia IMO, but I can't really have too much of a say as I haven't played most of them. Tales series is pretty good with a few exceptions, though not all of them do well in sales.

Damn right!
Which is a shame since it was such a great game.

I'd say Silver. To me this game is really fun and unique, unfortunately it seems to be relatively unknown.

Also I'm not sure that some of the games in your list are really underrated... ie Skies of Arcadia, Planescape Torment.

The Tales series on the whole, I loved Tales of Phantasia, I loved Tales of Destiny and Tales of Eternia...the newer ones I don't like as much but Tales games don't seem to get as much love as the FF series does.

Blue Dragon for Xbox 360. This story and gameplay was actually pretty damn cool and definitely under-rated considering its "kiddie" appearance.

Dransik But its more a mmo rpg
Nox Nox was so mutch fun to bad the multyplayer was crap


Crap? you guys have strange tastes. The single player in Nox was just an introduction to the MP. It was essentially a multiplayer game and I personally think it was the most quick-paced and interesting multiplayer game I've ever played, and even moreso, it was innovative for its time. Even better than Starcraft.
Also, nobody mentioned Anachronox, it was extremely underrated.
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL

Lufia... never got around to playing it even though I played all those other snes rpgs.

Time to find a rom.


I'd vote bahamut lagoon, I felt like it was both under-played and underrated, especially since there was only a fan-translation.. + Show Spoiler +
YOYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!


Sendak was pretty damn funny in that game.

I like Mount and Blade as well, it's got A LOT of growing potential too, i hope they keep improving it

Omg yes i remember playing NOX in elementary school. It was so effing awesome but too bad Westwood got bought out so multiplayer died
