20 Most Criminally Underrated Video Games Of All Time

6. Lost Odyssey

Gamers who fell in love with Mistwalker's gargantuan RPG would say it should have been the biggest role-player of its generation. But it will go down in history as the best Final Fantasy game that wasn't a Final Fantasy game. Heavily accused of being derivative and struggling under the weight of a thousand genre cliches, Lost Odyssey was soon consigned to budget bins across the world. Had this epic story been told on multiple consoles we have to imagine that it would have been a massive sales success. Instead it played the part of a desperate ploy by Microsoft to get the Japanese market interested in the Xbox 360, and suffered badly because of it. Lost Odyssey faded into the background, overshadowed by inferior high-profile franchises with big names and bigger marketing budgets.
