Super Daryl Deluxe doesn’t try to reinvent what it means to be an action-platforming game, but it does deliver one fantastic take on the template. It has jokes about everything from Georgia O’Keeffe to Genghis Khan, all told with a sharp wit and knack for wordplay. The game’s strength lies not only in its gorgeous artwork and music, but its often-hilarious writing. Set in a high school where the different classrooms lead to a fantastical world, the game stars the completely silent titular hero, who must venture into the unknown in order to prevent total chaos. Super Daryl Deluxe (PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC)ĭesigned primarily by just two people, Super Daryl Deluxe is a Metroidvania game by way of Napoleon Dynamite. That’s a shame, as it risks losing what made it so special. Despite being the best game in the studio’s entire catalog, it sold poorly, ultimately leading to Housemarque declaring “arcade is dead” and attempting a comeback in the AAA space, instead. When it comes time to fight a boss, things get quite hectic, and making it through the whole game without dying dozens of times is nearly impossible. It’s a relentlessly difficult game that controls like butter, with simple abilities and a huge number of enemies to defeat in order to get through each area and save the humans on the ground.

Read our full The Evil Within 2 review Nex Machina (PS4, PC)ĭeveloped in collaboration with legendary designer Eugene Jarvis, Housemarque’s Nex Machina might just be the best twin-stick arcade shooter ever made. Despite this, sales were very low, and it is unclear if developer Tango Gameworks will be given the chance for a third game. Instead, it was a completely original and cerebral take on the genre with storytelling that matched its gameplay. However, its much weirder and more polished sequel The Evil Within 2 didn’t want to replicate past successes. The game wasn’t able to match the high standards of its predecessor, often feeling like it was retreading the same ground. Shinji Mikami directed one of the best survival-horror games of all time, Resident Evil 4, and fans were eager for The Evil Within to see if he was capable of surpassing his masterpiece. Its sequel was more widely appreciated, but the first game is definitely worth checking out for anyone looking for their next controller-breaking obsession. With a limb-targeting system, unique upgrades to an exo-suit, and industrial setting, it stood out from the competition and even streamlined some of the genre’s more frustrating mechanics. The studio took a very different direction, however, with The Surge, a science-fiction action-RPG is equal parts Bloodborne and Elysium. The Surge (PS4, Xbox One, PC)ĭeck13 Interactive’s Lords of the Fallen was a pretty run-of-the-mill Souls-like, with a fantasy setting and little to separate it from similar clones. With supernatural abilities and an atmospheric take on London to explore, it’s enthralling despite its relatively low production values. Its world is filled with unique characters - almost all of whom can be sacrificed to make your character stronger. Set just after World War I, the action-role-playing game stars a doctor who has just been transformed into a vampire and must decide between keeping his Hippocratic Oath and feeding on the living. Vampyr (PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC)ĭontnod Entertainment did release an excellent sequel to its game Life is Strange, but the studio also had something else cooking that took us by surprise: Vampyr. These are the most underrated games of all time, across multiple generations. In this list, we’ll highlight some games that don’t get the credit they deserve - whether they feature an interesting gameplay mechanic, engaging story, or something else that makes them stand out.
