10 Severely Underrated PS4 Games That Deserve A Second Chance

5. Until Dawn

Until Dawn is just about the best horror title the PS4 has, and yet it's not held in nearly as high a regard as it should be.

Though the game fared well among most critics, it fell short of a Metacritic average of 80, sitting just below on 79. Though such a minuscule difference shouldn't denote the difference between a 'good' game and a 'great' one, it's fair to say that Until Dawn's cult status amongst gamers and horror fans in particular has cemented its status as a forgotten classic, and as an IP Sony have failed to ever properly capitalise on. (Any word on an Until Dusk at all?)

A point-and-click horror title that should never be spoiled for those yet to play it, Until Dawn features the talents of Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere, Brett Dalton and Peter Stormare as a group of teens set up camp in a house on a haunted hill with a dark past. The game only gets zanier and more terrifying from there on in, with every decision the player makes having the potential to be a matter of life and death.

With star power, atmosphere and horror aplenty, Until Dawn is the must-have exclusive PlayStation owners can't afford to miss, and a title long overdue a genuine sequel.
