20 Most Criminally Underrated Video Games Of All Time

8. Alice: Madness Returns

Spicy Horse made a bold move with Alice: Madness Returns, developing a wildly imaginative and trippy platform adventure at a time when the big money was being made by games which played it safe. Sadly it was a risk which didn't pay off the way American McGee would have hoped - the majority of industry critics couldn't look past an apparent lack of gameplay innovation. And, as we are often prone to blindly following the opinions of others, we gave Alice: Madness Returns a miss. Which is a travesty, because even though Alice didn't break any real 3D platform conventions, it was one of the most artistically creative with a captivating atmosphere. Twisted, sometimes genuinely unsettling, and worthy of far more attention than it got.
