Underrated Gems

Games that I feel do not get the attention they deserve

Binary Domain
Binary Domain
A phenomenal cover shooter with great gameplay, story, and graphics.
Brink
Brink
Unsure why this got all the criticism it did, though to be fair I never tried online. Gameplay was smooth and enjoyable, AI was challenging, which is rare for shooters, and it truly felt like a unique shooter
Exanima
Exanima
The perfect dungeon crawler. enough said.
Freedom Fighters
Freedom Fighters
A great story-based squad "shooter". Good shooting mechanics for a third person shooter of its day, good squad control, and a pretty solid story. Local multiplayer on consoles is an added bonus
Furi
Furi
Incredibly tight boss rush game, with a pretty solid story once it comes together and very, very challenging bosses that'll keep you coming back.
Mount & Blade: Warband
Mount & Blade: Warband
An amazing combination of RPG, RTS, Grand Strategy. Infinite replayability with the incredible modding community. Also see Viking Conquest
Perfect Dark
Perfect Dark
Goldeneye but better in every conceivable way. Great story mode, multiplayer, coop story, AND COUNTER OPERATIVE story mode!
The Pirate: Caribbean Hunt
The Pirate: Caribbean Hunt
Great ship based pirate game with very enjoyable naval combat and a great gameplay loop. also free
Project Zomboid
Project Zomboid
The Sims but with zombies. The only proper depiction of zombie hordes in any game I've ever seen.
SWAT 4: Gold Edition
SWAT 4: Gold Edition
A great tactical shooter with a huge amount of replay value with the mods and multiplayer options
