10 Most Underrated Video Games Of 2017

9. What Remains Of Edith Finch

Home to one of the most powerful narratives of the year, What Remains of Edith Finch's vignette style of storytelling allowed it to constantly switch up its gameplay as well as its thematic focus, chronicling the final days of each member of the Finch family.

Consequently, the journey towards unravelling the mystery at the heart of this extremely unlucky family avoids the pitfalls of other walking simulators that can sometimes become repetitive over a long period of time. Instead, Edith Finch throws you into Lovecraftian nightmares, a Halloween-style throwback horror movie and a show-stopping dip into high-fantasy that remains surprising even into the game's late stages.

The indie is better played without knowing anything about the plot, as even if you're not a fan of similar narrative-driven titles, Giant Sparrow's harrowing tale has enough variety and intrigue at the heart of it to make it appealing to any gamer.
