10 Most Underrated Video Games Of 2017 (So Far)

1. Styx: Shards Of Darkness

This game flew under the radar for a lot of people and it's easy to understand why. Being the third in a series that no one had really heard of and not exactly marketing itself very well, Styx's antics have never been as big a success as they could have been, despite being quite good.

Shards of Darkness is stealth-based and does a remarkably good job of offering up an array of powers and different tools to navigate a high fantasy world. You have to deal with elves, men and dwarves alike, each with different abilities making every level that much more unique.

Styx is a rather excellent stealth game that seemed to go unnoticed by most. Perhaps the genre is starting to falter a bit, but that doesn't change the fact that this is worth a look.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
