10 Underrated Video Games Based On Movie Franchises

10. The Matrix: Path of Neo

The Matrix is a licence that works very well as a video game. The Matrix Awakens demo recently proved there is still widespread demand for such a title, and 2003’s Enter The Matrix is fondly remembered. The Matrix: Path of Neo is less spoken about, but provides an incredibly engaging experience. Who wouldn’t want to beat up hordes of agents as Neo?

Released in 2005, Path of Neo lets gamers fulfil these fantasies, pitting the titular character in various action-packed events from the original trilogy in one overarching narrative.

An intricate skill tree and access to many moves and abilities adds a fantastic level of depth, while Keanu Reeves himself offered his likeness for the game, many years before his inclusion in Cyberpunk 2077.

Combat is visceral and varied, with bullet time that gives you a huge power trip as you play. For Matrix fans, this is a no brainer, and for fans of action beat em ups, it is definitely worth dusting off the PS2 or Xbox to give this one a go.
