13 Hugely Under-Rated 2014 Video Games

5. Secret Ponchos

Metacritic Score: 65 Yet further proof of the value of Sony's Instant Game Collection, Secret Ponchos hit PSN last month and is one of the PS4's more uniquely entertaining online shooters to date. While reviews have focused on criticising the game's simplicity, that's exactly the beauty of it: it doesn't take more than a minute to get to grips with the mechanics of this Wild West shooter. The sheer sense of chaos is what really makes this work, that an enemy can approach from any direction and at any time, but the protracted nature of each gunfight still gives you plenty of opportunity to mount a counter-attack. Sure, it's not a game that's totally dripping with features, but for a free PSN game that's great to jump into when you've got a spare half an hour, what more could you want?
