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

7. Unravel

Cutesy platformers are a dime a dozen these days, which is why although Unravel plays things very safe - coming across as a LittleBigPlanet-goes-outside-type deal - it wears its heart on those cottoned sleeves, and its one that just feels incredibly warm and vibrant in action.

Playing as Yarny you'll leap and swing through a number of photorealistic environments, occasionally ensnaring the local wildlife to reach greater heights or perhaps get tugged along on a piece of debris by a wayward fish. The world feels incredibly well thought out and supremely well detailed, giving Unravel the feeling that it could take place in your own back garden.

It's this sensation that elevates the entire experience; turning Unravel into a platformer with a quintessential feeling of real passion - a labour of love from a tiny dev team given a bigger-budget lease of life thanks to EA on publishing duties.
