15 Most Criminally Underrated Video Games Of 2016 (So Far)

12. Oxenfree

A game about the sorts of furtive interactions we all have with one another as teenagers, Oxenfree takes the 'teen horror' ideal and spruces it up with some fantastically supernatural qualities.

Gameplay mostly serves to indulge itself in some brilliantly written exchanges between your various heroes visiting a spooky island as you'll spend far more time wandering from place to place than getting through any puzzles or 'gameplay' sections - but that's precisely why it works so well.

As the forces at play involve unique time-travel mechanics, any conversation that's already concluded will be reimagined with different mindsets and moods, meaning you can unpack every facet of someone's personality based on an entire gamut of responses.

It may sound complex, but once Oxenfree takes hold and the eery atmosphere starts flooding in you'll be hooked for the duration.
