An amazing space RTS : Outpost 2 ( it's not super well known and its from 1997 i think. There is still a huge community for 1v1s and stuff. There is even a community made outpost 3 in the works.
Thrill kill on the ps1. Not so much underrated as cancelled. It's the first game that used the multiplayer 3d arena fighting with 4 players. It was too violent at the time so they did not release it.
Thrill Kill is a cancelled 1998 fighting video game for the Sony PlayStation, which even today is still widely available despite being officially unpublished. Thrill Kill was considered a technical feat for the PlayStation for allowing four players to fight simultaneously in the same room, although this technical feat was overshadowed by the brutality and controversy surrounding the game. Set in an urban version of Hell, the characters were all damned souls fighting for another chance in the mortal world, watched over by Marukka, the Goddess of Secrets, who has organized the infernal tournament and promised the winner reincarnation on Earth. Other content included revealing BDSM and fetishistic costumes, characters with amputated limbs and other handicaps and violent and sexual moves with names such as "Bitch Slap", "Swallow This", and "Head Muncher".
I still play that game today with friends. It's such a good fighting game

Oh man i remember playing this at school in the computer lab.
I'm not sure if these games were popular during their time since I was just a kid when I played them but I definetely burned a zillion hours into them.
There were people that said this was just a platformer in first person perspective, and there were people who played the game. This game was one of the most fun unique games I have played in a LONG time. You did what can only be described as the most amazinig parkour imaginable, and the most smooth awesome fighting in any game I can think of, with ease. The controls were increadibly fluid and no matter what you did, it somehow looked awesome. The game was fun as hell too.
For some reason, no one seemed to like the game though, saying it was too short. But think about it, what are some other games that are increadibly fun and innovative that are kind of a first person shooter, but not really, that have a sequal coming out soon that I am rediculously hyped for because the first was too short? Need another hint, it's theme song has the same name as mirrors edge: still alive.
Game had big hype before it came out, and then fizzled out upon release with mediocre reviews. Honestly this is one of the most unique 1st person games I've ever played. The controls were great, the graphics were awesome, with the shiny white utopian city which looked more and more grimy the closer you looked. Sure the story in the cut scenes was poorly executed, but the story told in game through the setting etc was great.
Awesome game, hugely underrated.
Also beyond good and evil on the original Xbox.
Awesome story, great female lead who is feminine but not in an overly sexy/sleazy way. Great dungeon design, great characters, and great reviews.
But poor sales. A game that imo should be rated up with the zelda in terms of action/adventure games.
I have to giva a shoutout to some PS1 platformers:
Klonoa, so much fun, trademark 2,5D advanture . I feel like I have to grab its PS2 successor.
Spyro the Dragon, not that underrated actually, but still in the shadow of Crash 3(I had to choose between those two as a kid, tough one) released at the same time. Showing how developers should think about 3D platformers.
It's so good you can emulate PS1 on PSP, going back to the bright past :D.
Mirror's Edge was definitely a great unique concept, but the entire thing seems like it could be alot better. The mix of platforming / fighting / gunplay needs to be tweaked, and of course the length and story were abysmal.
Mirror's Edge 2 has amazing potential, I'm really looking forward to it.
I LOVED that game when I was younger, got it from a gaming magazine at some point, real fun. A futuristic RTS, no idea what the story was and never played it in multiplayer. You were able to research both Vehicles and Weapon systems and combine them afterwards... Really fun concept, you were able to come up with some pretty sick vehicles.
Not particularly sure if I'm right but I always felt Titan Quest got waaay less attention than it deserved. Despite the fact that I never got a character to the levelcap or finished all 3 difficulties I put sooooo many hours into the game. The class system that let's you combine 2 masteries into one class is pretty unique I think and additionally I'm a sucker for ancient mythology (although it's probably not 100% accurate it actually did help me in school from time to time :D).
