Want to give a shout out to a game that is underrated in your opinion? Tired of enjoying a game no one else seems to know? Then this topic is for you! :) Pick any game from any system and show a quick video or a fanart of the game. Say why you like the game or ask if anyone here has heard of it ^^

A game that I picked up a few weeks ago that I played a lot over 4 years ago and just wanted to blow off some steam from working so much lately was a game called Solatorobo: red the hunter. It's a DS game that I personally love that has some of the best music I've heard from the DS, including an opening theme that is quite powerful to listen to with its vocals. It's kind of funny that the main focus of many of the voices in the game is French or German, but I think the song is in Japanese.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suChqJwGIBA (what's kind of sad about this video is the best designed girl character in the game isn't in the intro here XD. My favorite all-around character is though. Ehl, a catlike mystery person you meet early in the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj44xqjKAWE this video is a no-spoiler review basically saying how the game really works. It's a lot of basic mechanics circled around a lot of quests and a plot that gets entertaining and intreques the player. There's much more to the game than meets the eye, especially near the end of the game.

Another game that is unheard of is the first game of this furry series called Tail Concerto. THIS. This right here is hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJqe2Sb4AhI at 9:10 the boss room is unlocked and it's...a sneezy one XD The plot is a group of "evil" felines are trying to make this giant airship crash and they sabotage the engine and try to steal stuff to make it break down. The hero of the game manages to help fix the engine, so the cats go to the captain's room and...this happens. If the listeners can ignore the onslaught of loud cats, look at what the captain himself is doing and listen to him. The characters in this game actually repeatedly make appearances and do more than just show up in Solatorobo, something I wish more sequels did.
Something that I honestly REALLY appreciate in this game is the voice acting. Most RPG games have text boxes that you read but don't hear. This game actually has a LOT of voices when text boxes happen. It's not all the time, but it's good for main points. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq_aHTvcKg0 the three main villains of the series appear at the beginning of this video, the first time you see who is really behind all the chaos from this first game. My favorite of the three is the one at 0:25 XDD She's quiet but very comedic too. Dry humor :)

Anyway, another game that is underrated is called Sneakers, a bizarre Xbox game. If you know what Pokemon Snap is, this game is pretty much a game like that except the pictures are focused on a plot and you have to fight things in each level after you take pictures. The game itself is weird, the animation is different, but the concept and pure fun I had as a kid with this game I didn't get out of any other Xbox game except with two others, but those are more common.

That's it off the top of my head. There's literally thousands of games out there I've never played, or even ever heard of. What are some games you guys like that people may not have heard about?

Oh wow.  Good idea, and I see you thought out pretty good what to include here.  I will get some games too.

Test Drive: Eve of Destruction on the PS2.  Just a good game that was well rounded, and at the time, had a good soundtrack.  Problem was the name, as it wasn't tied in with the Test Drive series, and it wasn't a topic most people thought about for a game.  But it was a really good game with a good career mode that had the player travel and dominate other arena's.
