15 Insanely Underrated PS4 & Xbox One Games You Must Play
Forget the triple-As and pick up one of these instead.
We're in the holiday season once again, and just like every year, gamers are being bombarded with enough blockbuster games to make their wallets weep.
Between the likes of Battlefield 1 and Watch Dogs 2, there are some gigantic releases hitting shelves that you can't miss, and yet, thanks to this rush it means many equally deserving games are going to slip through the cracks.
Because unfortunately, marketing is king, and it's these huge games that take up the banner ads on the most popular gaming websites, leaving small, more unfortunate releases battling for your attention and ultimately losing. So instead of continuing to hype up this holiday's massive titles (even though some of them rightly deserve all the praise they're getting), I'm casting an eye back to some equally brilliant games that you might have overlooked in the past few years.
There have been hundreds of high quality games that have hit the PS4 and Xbox One since the consoles shipped three years ago, yet a good portion haven't received the acclaim or fan adoration they deserve. Either wrongly assessed at the time or completely buried by other releases, you simply owe it to yourself to give them a second chance.
15. Just Cause 3
Just Cause 3 was a glitchy mess when it released late in 2015. Shipping with a horrible framerate, constant crashes and without the luxury of being able to blame the instability on top of the range graphics, the game burned players straight out of the gate.
But things have changed, and the Just Cause 3 of today is in a much better shape. Finally you're able to enjoy the balls-to-the-wall chaos that was always ready to be exploited in the game from the get-go, only this time you don't have to worry about dodgy framerates ruining the fun.
Because ultimately, the latest (and probably final) entry into this famously underrated series is straight-up fun. Boasting one of the largest open world maps you can find on console, an unprecedented amount of destruction and the almost super-human ability to cause havoc wherever you go, Just Cause 3 is a sandbox game in the purest, most anarchic sense of the term.
