10 Overlooked Movie Licensed Games (That Were Actually Awesome)

10. Blade Runner

Based in the same universe as the cult classic movie version, the 1997 Blade Runner game worked as more of a side-story to its filmic counterpart. Focusing on a brand new character, this point-n'-click adventure game struck gold with a more story-focused experience long before Telltale came onto the scene to adapt every single media property in the universe.

Although the developers weren't able to acquire the likeness and voice of Harrison Ford, the title still created and delivered an exciting story in its own right that ran parallel to movie, weaving in and out of its key moments.

Regardless of this potential to feel like a throwaway narrative, the same noir mystery was still central to the whole experience. With multiple endings that were all brilliantly affecting depending on the way you played through the game, there was a real reason to go through Blade Runner more than once just to see all of the different variations in the story. 

Even though point and click games aren't the most satisfying to actually play mechanically, the calibre of writing and the title's cinematic style more than made up for any lack of challenge or slight repetition in the gameplay.
