Does "Magical Chase" on both the TurboGrafx-16 & Gameboy Color counts as a underrated game?

Pretty much any of the Mario & Luigi games that aren't SS or BIS. Honestly, in my opinion, they're all pretty good. Also Paper Mario: Color Splash.

Psychonauts is a super unique and interesting 3D platformer you should check out sometime.

I actually knew about this game for quite a while, but I haven't really had an opportunity to get it yet. If I ever get Discord Nitro then I'll probably pick it up.

You could get it for about 8$ on Steam and it's quite often on sale.

I do know that most people that have played it don't really like the space stage, as it's kind of boring and it's at the point where the game slows down immensely. The rest of the game is pretty good, though ngl.

PUBG is really underrated, because Fortnite dominated the game sector, I like these both games, but I think, that people hating PUBG too much and it's sad

Im sure alot of us play or used to play a game that we really liked, yet nobody else seemed to know about it, and you never heard about it aside from playing it yourself. But you truly felt like the game deserved much more attention than it got. What are those game(s) you play/played that you feel were underrated like that?

For me, its two games in particular

-Crash N' Burn- A racing/demolition derby game that I had on the PS2. I remember getting it for my 7th birthday in 2005 from a family friend- and holy crap, that game became my childhood. There were all sorts of game modes you could play, from regular races to stunt-type races and demolition derbies. Your car basically had a health bar, that when it ran out, your car would wrecked. Of course, for the time, there were great damage effects as well, and you basically got to watch your car and other cars fall apart as you battled your way down the track. The customization was also pretty good, you could really personalize your vehicle with different body styles, painting, rims, etc. The game definitely wasnt perfect, there was no splitscreen multiplayer and it was definitely pretty cheesy at times, but i still feel like this game deserved more recognition. Mostly because it was the type of game almost any young boy would really love- racing, non-stop carnage, explosions, all without being too violent for the little ones.

-Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 2- Honestly I was never into RTS games until I played this. I knew 1 other person who played this game, and maybe its a little less obscure than Crash N' Burn, but I found the game to be alot of fun and was practically addicted to it for a while. Build up your base, build your army, and crush the other army(s). Unfortunately, like Crash N' Burn, it seems like not alot of people really know about it, so it takes the place at the 2nd game that I really like and feel is underrated.

I think barely anyone has noticed about this, isn't SMBX underrated?

except ... does it qualify as a video game? (at least in this subforum we mostly talk about commercial games, that is)

I consider a video game anything we can play in an electronic device, anyway that's just me lol

smbx is a game engine, strictly speaking. levels created in it are games. i would consider it fairly rated. some people definitely overrate it though.

Did I ever in the history of this video game forums topic, mention "Save me, Mr.Tako!"?

Probably not (well, at least I haven't seen it myself) but I think you once mentioned it in your forum profile

Tekken Advance on the (Nintendo) Gameboy Advance is pretty underrated game, since Namco actually Tried their best porting Tekken 3 into a pixelized graphics style game to a 32-bit handheld.
