Games you think are underrated and potential reasons why?

Dragon Age II. It's not an in depth choice and effect RPG like it's predecessor, but I understand how people were burnt when they wanted that. Look at it like a tactical action adventure game with light RPG elements and you'll have a great time with a very well fleshed out and written story.

Subnautica. Loved among the community and fans, but never made to mainstream appeal. I think this is the current peak of the lonely, single player survival simulator. It's beautiful, unique, a tonne of mystery and has a lot of interesting dynamic mechanics and wildlife to keep gameplay fresh. I think people just lump it in with "another one of those kind of survival base builders", but it's actually so much more.

Jurassic World: Evolution. Honestly really fun. The only downside is that it has the Jurassic World aesthetic and not Jurassic Park, but you can actually fix that with unlocks. Love a park builder and although I prefer Operation Genesis in the Jurassic Park series, this one is still really fun with a good amount of depth to keep you hooked. It's a bit of a shame it doesn't incorporate some of the more fun focused and detailed elements of Planet Zoo like enclosure planning and building in a way where you can give the animals toys, dynamic feeders, etc. but it's still good.
