What is the one game you think is genuinely underrated compared to how good it actually is

[NoLimitsOscar42]

Some genuinely excellent games never quite get the recognition or sales they deserve, often due to unfortunate release timing against a bigger competing title, a marketing budget that simply could not compete with a major studio's blockbuster release, or a genre or style that happened to be unfashionable at the exact moment the game actually came out, regardless of how well crafted the actual experience turned out to be.

Discovering one of these underrated games years later, often through word of mouth or a random recommendation rather than any major marketing push, can feel like a genuinely exciting personal discovery precisely because so few other people seem to have played it. What is the one game you personally think is significantly underrated relative to its actual quality, and why do you think it never got the recognition it genuinely deserved?

[MegaHavertz]

A genuinely brilliant narrative adventure game I played years after release, completely overshadowed at launch by a much bigger blockbuster title coming out the exact same week.

[GradientPiston]

An indie platformer with genuinely excellent level design that barely sold at all purely because it launched during an unusually crowded release window for that specific genre.

[ZPM54]

A cooperative puzzle game that deserved to be a genuine phenomenon but never got the marketing push it actually needed to reach a wider audience.

[Coastal Current]

A slower paced strategy title that genuinely rewards patience but got dismissed early on by reviewers looking for something flashier and more immediately exciting.

[ProperMadLad]

A remaster of an older cult classic that genuinely holds up brilliantly today but still barely gets mentioned outside of dedicated fan communities who already knew about it.

[SG151]

A story driven RPG with genuinely fantastic writing that suffered badly from a buggy launch it never fully recovered its reputation from, even after later patches fixed most of the actual issues.
