Whats criminally underrated is Ubisoft edging and teasing us with Survival elements instead of just making a Survival game. Swear to god both Far Cry primal and Avatar Frontiers of Pandora wouldve made for such great survival open world games, but Ubi cant let go of their formula so we end up getting edged with features like cooking your own meal and an energy bar instead of just giving us Hunger and Thirst, maybe energy regarding sleeping, because that would lead to them actually making something new and we all know they like to copy paste a lot.
One reason I love this channel so much: One of the only gamers you see on the internet that doesn't analayze every cm of a game and complain if it's not a 10/10 like most people today. Just enjoys games that can pass time without them having to be masterpieces. People see 7/10 and complain and will never play it. The game doesn't have to be amazing, but if it's fun, its on his list and that's all I need.
Him and Jake Baldino just make me keep being hyped to watch TH-cam videos. I'm tired of all the hating. So many quality games being released constantly, so many games that went under the radar throughout the years and are super fun, and people seem to be bothered about everything. I love how some people keep the positivity moving forward in this medium ❤
Gaming used to be about passion now its an over saturated space due to covid, people just love to complain, i remember when people used to have fun with bugs and glitches and not make a 12 page essay on how gaming is dead on twitter 🤣🤣 there has been some amazing games lately but if its not mainstream and bug free it gets overlooked quickly
The hard part is that the fun meter is completely subjective so I can see someone turning down a 7 that would totally mesh with them for a 10 that many people hail as game of the year.
I played Mad Max & Days Gone & I enjoyed them both a lot. I bought Far Cry Primal forever ago and played it a little but then dropped it shortly after because there was some heavy hitters that came out around the time I bought it. I think I’m gonna give it another shot tho, currently playing the infamous series and loving them can’t believe it’s took me this long to play them.
Man you really hit it out of the park with this one, Mad Max, Seven The Days Long Gone, AC Syndicate, The Saboteur, FC Primal and Immortals Fenyx Rising are some of my all time favorites! Always happy when a youtuber brings up any of these underdogs :)
You're making me feel bad for buying Mad Max for $4.99. I basically stole from the company even though it was on sale. That game felt next gen compared to "next gen" games.
Here are 10 more: - L. A. Noire - Homefront the Revolution - Mirrors's Edge Catalyst - Mass Effect Andromeda - Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 - State of Decay - Prototype - Just Cause 3 - Chernobylite (not exactly open world, more like a hub world) - Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Immortals Fenyx Rising is amazing! Very fun to play and explore, especially if you're into Greek mythology. The Chinese DLC is also great and two others are just ok.
Glad to see you put Sleeping Dogs so high on your list...ABSOLUTELY loved it when it was first released. My backlog is pretty long and open world games make it more difficult to clear but LOVE your list.
Bomb video. After all, I already own many of the mentioned games, but I discovered at least 4 and bought 2 of them straight away thanks to a good discount. Sleeping Dogs and Red Faction Guerrilla. Thanks a lot for these discoveries.
I knew this list was legit when I saw Mad Max was the first game covered. Extremely underrated game. Was dope to see games like Days Gone, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Far Cry Primal, Sleeping Dogs, and Watch Dogs get mentioned as well. Great list. 🔥
Excellent presentation and a couple of solid recommendations for me to check out. Thanks. Huge shoutout to Lego City too. I played it unironically as an adult for fun, but since way more with my 4 year old nephew and he absolutely loves it. We call ourselves team Chase McCain.
lol days gone isnt going to get more attention due to it blocking out 2/3's of the gaming community with it going to/needs a psn account to play same thing happened to helldivers 2 all psn published games will be suffering the same fate. sony is killing any games they're publishing by blocking most of the world
Pathologic 2 is a true gem, you need to get involved in the story to continue, if not, may be nonsense how the game deal with death, or npc stories. Wear the shoes of Burakh, feel his pain and you will discover the poetry behind the game and what is to be the actor.
I always buy every Far Cray game. 3 and 4 are still my favorite but Primal is the only one I’ve played through twice, they always put out awesome games
Dave's gone is one of the most criminally underrated games ever. It was a near masterpiece and the fact that we didn't get a sequel and a trilogy out of it.Will never make sense to me
Because far too many people listen to what IGN has to say about games. They promote hogwash while also giving low ratings and major criticism to actual gems in gaming. They're awful.
I consider Assassin's Creed Syndicate one of the best AC games EVER! This is one Ubisoft should remake to upgrade the graphics and game play but not change anything with the story.
Red faction and days gone were 2 games that really got me. Absolutely amazing games. Days gone had crazy potential with the horde modes. It was a solo game you could play with friends due to those modes, trying to 1up eachother with a high score.. it was one of the most nostalgic experiences I had with any game post 2000's Also, generation zero was terribly underrated after updates. It reminded me a lot fallout in ways mixed with other RPGs..
I love that you put dead rising 4. That game is a really fun game that people do not give enough time for because of its predecessors. I actually have never finished it because when I bought it and realized it was kinda christmas themed, I save it and play it ever year around Christmas time.
Mad Max was such a dope game. Really good. Played through it multiple times. I was hoping to see it on the list. Even at #20, I’m just glad to see it getting love.
Days Gone is a good game that could have been great. Unfortunately, it's clear that some upper level managemer got their hands on the game and forced them to cut things from the game.
i actually liked Far Cry Primal and even played few times i been meaning to back and replayed again it's a good game with great potential but unfortunately that potential will never be
I am not thaaat much into driving games but I love the Mad Max films, and seeing now that I can explore camps and punch people I might check it out after all, thanks!
I absolutely love this game one of the best ever I recommend to everyone! I’ve played like 6 times it’s a great game! If you haven’t played you don’t know what you missing! I play no cheats no internet help play it!
I think a lot of people over-looked "This Land is My Land". I think when it dropped people expected some weird RDR clone but that's not at all what the game was ever meant to be. Building alliances, fighting skirmishes, sneaking into settler camps, crafting system that doesn't get enough praise, plus a DOPE ass title to fit it's theme of the invasive settler vs indiginous population offers a rare perspective to that part of history. Though as a history nerd I'd prefer a more neutral take on the premise. It's still nice to see the Native perspective on this in a video game as opposed to generic cowboys vs indians shoot em ups.
Mad Max has a special place in my heart. A game that very few people actually seem to know exists, and I'm sure many people that do just instantly judge it with "just another low quality movie game". That game is absolutely amazing. It's extremely fun, it has a great sense of progression, and the combat is simply fun even after doing it for dozens of hours. If you haven't played it yet, what the hell are you waiting for?
The Mad Max game is really cool. The story really only makes sense if you have the background knowledge of the franchise, but otherwise a much better experience than even the movies.
I 100% completed Far Cry Primal 5 times and finished the story another 4. This is hands down the best game in the franchise imo. Since it was launched in 2015, no other Far Cry game took the #1 spot for me. It's a truly underrated gem.
That’s cool and all but doesn't change the facts that there are 3.5 million people in Uruguay and 49 million kangaroos in Australia.. which means if the kangaroos think about invading Uruguay, each person have to step up and fight 14 kangaroos.
Cool story bro but too bad the Australians already lost the great emu war which makes your desperate attempt at gaining likes on a what if comment seem extremely lame.
How is Days Gone so underrated. I just love everything about that game. Its visuals, gameplay, story. Its way too engaging. Sleeping Dogs and Far Cry Primal are my favorites too.
I wish you'd ,mentioned that Insomniac was also behind Ratchet & Clank during the Sunset Overdrive part which has a lot of gameplay mechanics of Sunset Overdrive
Far cry primal is criminally underrated, it's super fun!
The way they handled the day/night cycle was *chef's kiss*. Hunting at night was genuinely anxiety inducing.
@thebarbaryghostsf exactly👍
I’ve played through primal about 7 times. Once every couple years.
Whats criminally underrated is Ubisoft edging and teasing us with Survival elements instead of just making a Survival game. Swear to god both Far Cry primal and Avatar Frontiers of Pandora wouldve made for such great survival open world games, but Ubi cant let go of their formula so we end up getting edged with features like cooking your own meal and an energy bar instead of just giving us Hunger and Thirst, maybe energy regarding sleeping, because that would lead to them actually making something new and we all know they like to copy paste a lot.
Primal was great, only thing I missed was rain and thunder. Imagine having thunderstorm at night and suddenly jaguar jumping on you.

Man you're corny
Not for everybody. Some people just don't have enough free time or $$ to play 7/10.
The hard part is that the fun meter is completely subjective so I can see someone turning down a 7 that would totally mesh with them for a 10 that many people hail as game of the year.
Thanks to this channel I bought Mad Max on sale and never regretted it.
Another great one is Metro Exodus, great story and usually on sale for like 2-4$
Sleeping Dogs is one of my all time favorite games. I recommend it to everyone, and it's sad how many people have never heard of it.
I remember playing Sleeping Dogs and was blown away by the story, that alone is worth playing the game for imo. loved it
Mad Max, Days Gone and Far Cry Primal are all very badass games! Still randomly start from the beginning and play em all over again.
I never played Days Gone, but the other two I played a lot and enjoyed the hell out of em.
I played Mad Max & Days Gone & I enjoyed them both a lot. I bought Far Cry Primal forever ago and played it a little but then dropped it shortly after because there was some heavy hitters that came out around the time I bought it. I think I’m gonna give it another shot tho, currently playing the infamous series and loving them can’t believe it’s took me this long to play them.
Never played days gone or FC primal but am going to now. And mad max…. A diamond in the dirt for sure. Love that game.
@@nickbriggs8059 I recommend turning off the mini map for FC Primal. It makes the experience far more immersive
It's mediocre@@JonCollinsMedia
Great list! I’m so tired of TH-camrs recommending the same 50 games everyone has played this list was pretty genuine!
Dying Light 1. Absolutely phenomenal
100% best Zombie game of all time
Yes 🎉
Saboteur is an absolute classic
Combat and driving like GTA, climing like early AC and stealth like Hitman… how could it ever be bad?
Shame it's not on later gen consoles loved the game
KCD brilliant game, thought at the start it was very hard and impossible to get the hang of but when I did. I loved it
Finally YT recommended a great random channel! Dude, your taste in games is impeccable 👌
Man you really hit it out of the park with this one, Mad Max, Seven The Days Long Gone, AC Syndicate, The Saboteur, FC Primal and Immortals Fenyx Rising are some of my all time favorites! Always happy when a youtuber brings up any of these underdogs :)
Thank you for these underrated games. Many bangers here that I did not know about
You're making me feel bad for buying Mad Max for $4.99. I basically stole from the company even though it was on sale. That game felt next gen compared to "next gen" games.
Same here bought it while on sale for my Rog Ally & my PS5 lol looks much better on the Ally but still good on console as well
i mean... it is 10 years old.
It's on sale right now for $2.99 😂
Here are 10 more:
- L. A. Noire
- Homefront the Revolution
- Mirrors's Edge Catalyst
- Mass Effect Andromeda
- Sniper Ghost Warrior 3
- State of Decay
- Prototype
- Just Cause 3
- Chernobylite (not exactly open world, more like a hub world)
- Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Sniper games are horrible and andromeda is boring compared to the trilogy, rest are good even homefront 2
Kingdom of Amalur is so bad. Boring, répétitive.
@@SuperBlazeOfficial Homefront Revolution is just so good
Underated is not the same as low rated...
Just stumbled upon this channel. What a treat!
Immortals Fenyx Rising is amazing! Very fun to play and explore, especially if you're into Greek mythology. The Chinese DLC is also great and two others are just ok.
Rather play ac odyssey
@@SuperBlazeOfficial Nah! That game is ass lmao.
@@SuperBlazeOfficial immortals fenyx rising is the prettier version of ac ngl. i prefer immortals just for pure fun entertainment
Atlas Fallen Reign of Sand should be on here. It’s on Gamepass and wayyyy more fun than some other lengthy titles mentioned.
Glad to see you put Sleeping Dogs so high on your list...ABSOLUTELY loved it when it was first released.
My backlog is pretty long and open world games make it more difficult to clear but LOVE your list.
played and beat it on ps3 about 10 years ago lol
loved every second of it
Kind of older games, but Total Overdose and the original 2 Just Cause games are both very underrated.
Nearly played em all. Good list to be honest. Well done😊
Generation zero got my most playtime of that list.
Your referrals are great, forgotten, and hidden gems…. That nobody else talks about or covers.. Great Videos love them.
Bomb video. After all, I already own many of the mentioned games, but I discovered at least 4 and bought 2 of them straight away thanks to a good discount. Sleeping Dogs and Red Faction Guerrilla. Thanks a lot for these discoveries.
Great video. Far Cry Primal and Days Gone are absolutely amazing games.
I think homefront the revolution should be on this list it has a fun and heavily detailed open world
Days gone and KCD are phenomenal !
Rage 2 deserves so much praise, satisfying combat, fantastic progression, and nice enemy variety, to me is a gem
I knew this list was legit when I saw Mad Max was the first game covered. Extremely underrated game. Was dope to see games like Days Gone, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Far Cry Primal, Sleeping Dogs, and Watch Dogs get mentioned as well. Great list. 🔥
MadMax is solid. If it looks good to you here, you'll like it. No bugs, decent on every front and fun.
Excellent presentation and a couple of solid recommendations for me to check out. Thanks.
Huge shoutout to Lego City too. I played it unironically as an adult for fun, but since way more with my 4 year old nephew and he absolutely loves it. We call ourselves team Chase McCain.
Days Gone and Immortal Fenyx Rising deserve more attention indeed!
lol days gone isnt going to get more attention due to it blocking out 2/3's of the gaming community with it going to/needs a psn account to play same thing happened to helldivers 2 all psn published games will be suffering the same fate. sony is killing any games they're publishing by blocking most of the world
Thank you for the Games list ❤️
Watch dog 2 is also a goated game for me ❤
Loving Mad Max right now. 42 hours in! Side quests!
I wish they would come out with a Days Gone 2, Mad Max 2 and Red Faction Guerrilla 2. 3 of the best games ever made!
not even close
Great selection brother
Mad Max was one of my first games for my ps4 and I still love it to this day.
sleeping dogs was originally going to be a new entry in the true crime series. i don't remember why it changed.
I am playing Mafia now and this game is awesome.
Pathologic 2 is a true gem, you need to get involved in the story to continue, if not, may be nonsense how the game deal with death, or npc stories. Wear the shoes of Burakh, feel his pain and you will discover the poetry behind the game and what is to be the actor.
Far Cry Primal was my 1st Far Cry and I fell in love with the franchise
I always buy every Far Cray game. 3 and 4 are still my favorite but Primal is the only one I’ve played through twice, they always put out awesome games
Downloading Rage 2 right now. I can't believe I forgot there was a second one. Thank you Mac!
great video bro, Far Cry Primal was an absolute blast for me!
thank you for madmax recommendation, i played through it all and its a truly great game
Dave's gone is one of the most criminally underrated games ever. It was a near masterpiece and the fact that we didn't get a sequel and a trilogy out of it.Will never make sense to me
DEI killed the sequel
right?? I ignored reviews because it looked like my kinda game and man, did it deliver. I have no idea how to find flaw in it.
Because far too many people listen to what IGN has to say about games. They promote hogwash while also giving low ratings and major criticism to actual gems in gaming. They're awful.
I still hate SKIZZO so fing much bro.... I have platinum 4 times on days gone hahaha
Where did Dave go?
Great content !
I consider Assassin's Creed Syndicate one of the best AC games EVER! This is one Ubisoft should remake to upgrade the graphics and game play but not change anything with the story.
Hands down my favorite AC! And with theJack the Ripper DC it was even better
been playing mad max this week probably one of my favourite games
I suspect that Star Wars Outlaws will pop up on these lists in a few years time. I'm playing it now & it's not bad at all
It already did. Check his last couple of videos.
@@barabrasantiago5270 I will
Basic triple A open world with no soul. Like always.
Everyone says it’s terrible. Is it just an internet trend to hate it or is it worth trying?
Red faction and days gone were 2 games that really got me. Absolutely amazing games. Days gone had crazy potential with the horde modes. It was a solo game you could play with friends due to those modes, trying to 1up eachother with a high score.. it was one of the most nostalgic experiences I had with any game post 2000's

GREAT LIST!
Days gone is the first game I've ever poured myself a whiskey and cried. No idea what hit me so deep... And then I killed more hordes.
Hell yea, bless theradbrad for giving this game the love it deserved, that dude is a gem!
It wasn't that deep simp . Last of us ( first one )was better
I played mad max earlier this year and I was amazed at how much fun I had the car customization and destruction was my favorite part !
I loved Mad Max. Great game really. I 100%ed it.
Great vid
Mad Max was such a dope game. Really good. Played through it multiple times. I was hoping to see it on the list. Even at #20, I’m just glad to see it getting love.
Days Gone is a good game that could have been great. Unfortunately, it's clear that some upper level managemer got their hands on the game and forced them to cut things from the game.
Great list.
Days Gone and Far cry primal were some of my favorite games. I never go by critic scores no more. Just wish they’d make a part 2 of both these games.
FYI on Mad Max.
It is a solid well done port to PC. The game has good short, medium and long term goals to keep you entertained.
Unique list with many titles that aren’t talked about much!
Thank you for not flashbanging us with white screens between each mention.
I really like Mad Max and Sable. If both could get 60fps patches on PS5, that would be great.
The saboteur is my favorite ww2 game the whole game is such a vibe
Is it actually on PlayStation? I can’t find it anywhere
@FearDaReaper it's on the ps3 and 360 your gonna have to go gamestop to find it lol
@@johnellis4334 ok thanks man 🙏
@FearDaReaper not sure what the reply was because it's gone but you can pay saboteur on pc if you use EA Play
I runned all the Farcry Primal 3 times. Is such an awesome experience
Aww, Sable is a very fun game! Love to hear from it
had a blast playing Rage 2, TC2 and FC Primal.
Mafia is also pretty dam good
good list, thank you, mad max and sleeping dogs absolute stand outs for me.
liked this video as soon as i seen Mad Max was the first game, Such a hidden gem i had a blast playing it.
I really love your channel! 😊❤ Great job@
Far Cry Primal and Watch Dogs 1 for sure underrated gem and a must play. I also enjoyed the Mad Max game
Nice work
2:30 the main reason i hated those old games was because of the stupid timer! To each their own though.
Also, great video.
i actually liked Far Cry Primal and even played few times i been meaning to back and replayed again it's a good game with great potential but unfortunately that potential will never be
I replayed mad max a couple years ago and i forgot how amazing it was, totally reccomend
Thanks for explaining these great games coz they are :)
I didnt kno about the Mad Max game....Im def gonna check it out
Finished Mad Max on 100%. Definitely a hidden gem.
Kingdom Come Deliverance was such a gem... I wish my life had room for much much more of it :P
I am not thaaat much into driving games but I love the Mad Max films, and seeing now that I can explore camps and punch people I might check it out after all, thanks!
There's a bundle on Humble right now for Generation Zero. Base game itself is $1 (!). Or you can get the game and a whole slew of DLC for $15.
I was too poor to buy mad max but I watch theradbrad play it and I enjoyed every second of it.
I finished days gone and I can tell you the game was amazing one of best games I ever played and I have played loads
Kingdome Come Deliverence deserve being number 1 everywhere ahahah... cant wait for the 2 to come out! tryit believe me try it!
I absolutely love this game one of the best ever I recommend to everyone! I’ve played like 6 times it’s a great game! If you haven’t played you don’t know what you missing! I play no cheats no internet help play it!
I think a lot of people over-looked "This Land is My Land". I think when it dropped people expected some weird RDR clone but that's not at all what the game was ever meant to be.
Building alliances, fighting skirmishes, sneaking into settler camps, crafting system that doesn't get enough praise, plus a DOPE ass title to fit it's theme of the invasive settler vs indiginous population offers a rare perspective to that part of history. Though as a history nerd I'd prefer a more neutral take on the premise. It's still nice to see the Native perspective on this in a video game as opposed to generic cowboys vs indians shoot em ups.
I’d add Homefront: The Revolution as an honorable mention 👍
Lego City Undercover was overlooked mainly because it wasn't a franchise, it was Lego. My kid loved those movies
Mad Max has a special place in my heart. A game that very few people actually seem to know exists, and I'm sure many people that do just instantly judge it with "just another low quality movie game". That game is absolutely amazing. It's extremely fun, it has a great sense of progression, and the combat is simply fun even after doing it for dozens of hours. If you haven't played it yet, what the hell are you waiting for?
The Mad Max game is really cool. The story really only makes sense if you have the background knowledge of the franchise, but otherwise a much better experience than even the movies.
Bout to kick off a run of Sleeping dogs right after I finish WD2. Great games!
Starting on so strong with mad max!
Generation Zero is CRIMINALLY under rated
Kingdom Come Deliverance is a must!!! The sequel is coming out in February and looks even better!
Mad max is incredible game, such a slept on game.
I 100% completed Far Cry Primal 5 times and finished the story another 4. This is hands down the best game in the franchise imo. Since it was launched in 2015, no other Far Cry game took the #1 spot for me. It's a truly underrated gem.
That’s cool and all but doesn't change the facts that there are 3.5 million people in Uruguay and 49 million kangaroos in Australia.. which means if the kangaroos think about invading Uruguay, each person have to step up and fight 14 kangaroos.
Deym! 😂
Cool story bro but too bad the Australians already lost the great emu war which makes your desperate attempt at gaining likes on a what if comment seem extremely lame.
I got Mad Max a few month ago. Really surprised how good is and mad at myself that I didn't get it earlier.
How is Days Gone so underrated. I just love everything about that game. Its visuals, gameplay, story. Its way too engaging. Sleeping Dogs and Far Cry Primal are my favorites too.
Sleeping Dogs is SO good I’ve beat it 4 times. Collecting every collectible! So satisfying with our Temu Jet Li
I wish you'd ,mentioned that Insomniac was also behind Ratchet & Clank during the Sunset Overdrive part which has a lot of gameplay mechanics of Sunset Overdrive
