WoFF is definitely way underrated. And yeah pretty easy if you min/max it, but you can add your own difficulty by not going for the best critters all the time.

I don’t know if it’s considered underrated because I know it got pretty good reviews at the time but it was a bummer that nothing else came of Jet Force Gemini. Game was way ahead of its time and probably the best 3d Rare game.
Overrated is probably both Destinys. Everything that’s tedious about modern mmos. Just running the same shit over and over and over for the chance at that plus one gooder piece of gear or the ultra rare legendary drop.

Underrated: G-Police
G-Police - Wikipedia
Did anyone even play this game on PS1? It was half flight sim in a helicopter dogfighting enemies at low altitude over a cyberpunk city, half open world game with traffic and pedestrians in a persistent city.
I can't think of any other 3D open world games on PS1.
Overrated: FIFA. It's gaming for retards.

I played g police. The timed missions were brutal. It was not an easy game and it suffered from low draw distance and everything having dark textures.
It was different enough to keep me playing. I don't think I ever beat it though.
Also for underrated from the PS1 era: Jet motto. And jet motto 2. But maybe not, I think there were a billion copies of those games floating around. Hard to remember how games were viewed at the time.
It was the jankiest game ever, but holy crap was it fun.
And also also: Syndicate Wars. That game was amazing for the time.

Overrated: Destiny, especially the first one. MMO busywork, generally uninspired everything, and they named all the bad guys (robots) after fantasy creatures which just irritated me after a while. One hour I'm defeating a bunch of nondescript robots called Goblins, the next I defeat a nondescript robot boss called the Orc Chieftain or Witch Lord or something like that and I'm like "the fuck"
Underrated: Einhander for the PS1. Fantastic shooter. If Square had its act together we'd get a modern port of it, plus the obvious Zweihander sequel.

underrated = spintires. I always thought this game could have been deer hunter 2.0 if marketed/designed properly.
overated = battlefield 1. I hated the design changes they made and the sjw retardation really showed itself. A real shame because the game was phenominal in terms of presentation.

Overrated - Halo. I remember friends saying I must buy an Xbox to play Halo. So, I did just that and was thinking to myself “None of my friends have ever played a shooter on PC”. There isn’t anything above or beyond. It’s not shit. It’s just a common shooter among thousands of shooters
Underrated: Days gone. One of the best games I have ever played.
Multiplayer Overrated: Anything that states “so much more fun with friends”. Yeah no shit.
Multiplayer Underrated: Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow. It required strategy and was awesome cat and mouse. Most didn’t seem to play it because they actually had to learn a new way to play besides dragging everything in sight.

I still boot and play jet moto, mountain dew heavy ass bike is the tits.
There were so many good PS1 games no one played like Project overkill. And that other super violent top down I can’t remember but death animations are still good today.
Found it:
Just dumb fun

Underrated: Tales of Phantasia (SNES)
Big time JRPG nonsense with like a B+ story, but the traditional battle mechanics are replaced entirely by a side scrolling street figther/final fight hybrid style combat system that was absolutely mind blowing for the era it came out. Big magics, big shoryuken inputs to do sword combos, all kinds of fuckery with using spells to pause the combat flow to get more hits in, shit was fucking wild for 1994 or whatever it was when it came out.

Loved that game when I was a kid and still sometimes get random memories from it. Maybe I'll replay it and finally collect all the rubies (when I was a kid I collected all but 1 or 2 if I remember right)
Also underrated RPGish action game from that era, albeit with not much story, was Skyblazer

WarZone 2100 was one of the only of that style strategy game I ever really got into
I much preferred "tactics" style strategy like the highly underrated Front Mission 3
And Ogre Battle is well known at this point but still way underrated. One of Yasumi Matsuno's best. It has direct sequels in Japan that never got translated to English (not even a fan translation yet) and I want to play them so bad!

Considered to be part of the "Quintet Trilogy" along with Soul Blazer and Terranigma. You can actually see a few similarities between it and Soul Blazer especially. The Metal Mantis fights in both games are practically cloned.

I will add another Underrated game that was strategy based that I thoroughly enjoyed on the Sega Genesis.
It was such a fun strategy game that included a leveling system that actually mattered as part of the strategy to win.
I wish they would have come out with a great updated version of this game. I think it really could be a lot of fun with updated animation and perhaps a few rule tweaks.

Oh wow. I have a local retro console video game and indoor mini golf place near me. Trust me, it's way better than it might sound. It's like a working museum with almost every single home console and handheld system ever made. Even some super weird ones like this one console that only had like 10 shitty anime dating games but let you take screen shots and print them as stickers.... yeah.Wait, Ogre Battle Gaiden: Prince of Zenobia DID finally get an English fan translation a few years ago!

Anyways, they acquired a new geo pocket and the ever drive for it, which is just some flash memory with a complete list of roms for all the system's games. So I asked to use it just to play this game so I could say I had played every ogre battle game.
Everything was in Japanese but it's ogre battle so I still beat the first few missions. Graphics were actually pretty sharp given the tiny screen.
That's really cool about the translation though.
