10 Severely Underrated PS4 Games That Deserve A Second Chance

2. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege

Rainbow Six Siege might not've been the game it is today when it first released, but it's fair to say that a lot of critics wrote it off without giving Ubisoft the appropriate time to develop it as a platform.

Today, Siege is something of a phenomenon. There are few shooters on the market as competitive as it, and though the title did divest from the classic Rainbow formula, combat is still tactical, impactful, and uniquely gratifying, finding the perfect balance between 'hero' multiplayer titles like Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm, and the tactical building blocks with which Ubisoft approached each Tom Clancy title before it.

Gamers would seem to agree, with Siege having gone from strength to strength since its launch, cultivating a community that numbers in the millions and can always be found on Steam's most-played list. A lot of this comes down to the fact that Ubisoft have diligently stuck by the game since its release, producing free DLC every three months or so and providing a reason for players to return each and every time they do. (The latest DLC, Para Bellum, released last month.)

It's not quite on the scale of Overwatch, but Siege is only going to get bigger and better. With a roadmap planned for months to come, Ubisoft's essential shooter is showing no signs of stopping, and is bound to exert an influence on military titles currently in development.
