Highly agreed with Hellblade, my god was that a good bit of proper myth. Ninja Theory always has my money, especially with the lengths they went to just designing this gem. Watch the featurette on the making of, it's truly inspring.
V3 had a trash story but best characters of all the games, excluding Ouma.
Just in time for the Steam Sale 😀
yes, finally some recognition for A Hat in Time!
One of the best watchmojo video ever.
DanganRonpa V3, Yakuza 0, Night in the Woods, Edith Finch, Hat in Time, and Snipperclips are the only games I've heard of on this list.
Why is Snipperclips even on this list? It's not a "hidden gem".
Wow, absolutely wow. Not even a MINUTE and there's a spoiler for a game that they say is under the radar when it's not, and they didn't include a spoiler warning, so those who have not gotten to that part, played the game yet, or literally just heard of it, would be spoiled and would probably not want to play it or continue playing it. Thanks Watch Mojo!
2 excellent games that hardly got any love this year were Hob (despite the technical issues, it's a pure joy to play) and Get Even (that Namco sent this game out to die during E3 weekend is a crying shame. Excellent storytelling and a neat combat mechanic, despite being a little rough around the edges.)
Any picky penguins who watches Nicob play yakuza0 and danganronpa V3? 🙂
p.s: if you don't but you like watching gameplays he is the guy to watch!
There needs to be a Top 10 games of 2017, Not the Best of the Best nor the Worst of the Worst just games that came out this year that were there to be enjoyable.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm?
Watchmojo why does the ojo with a smile under it look like the lenny face? ⊙▪⊙
Yakuza 0 is awersome. I would include Gravity Rush 2 and Nights of azure 2 as underrated games.
The legend of heroes: Trails in the sky.
Watchmojo, Why did you not put little nightmares on this list. The game came out this year, And it was praised for its horror elements, But it did not gain wode spread attention.
Kokichi and Shuichi are the best boys ever I Love them so much and the game itself <3 =^.^=
Hellblade was my favorite game of the year.
sees thumbnail
Sharingan?
HOLLOW.
KNIGHT
I like Danganronpa, if you couldn't tell by my profile picture and name.
wait, but wheres doki doki literature club? T – T
I love how WatchMojo only showed Kaede as the protagonist like they don't want to give spoilers but also showed Gonta's execution.
Where is doki doki literature club XD
I love that danganronpa was on this list
Y’all know this list should be called “top 10 games people got mad about when we didn’t put them in the honorable mentions in our list of 10 ten about the games of 2017.”
I was surprised I didn't see the game "Crawl" on the list. Super fun game to play with friends.
Wish "Super Lucky's Tale" made the list… :/
Danganronpa very underrated in my view.
Of all the commentators, this guy is the BEST!
If Cyberdimension Neptunia isn't here, ur list is wrong
Wow, no concept of spoilers on here huh? Keep stuff to the first few hours. A couple bits for the first entry were late game, and Danganronpa relies heavy on the story.
NIGHT IN DA WOOOODSSS!!!
Simply put, my most underrated/hidden gem of a game in 2017 is Toukiden 2.
Danganronpa V3 and Yakuza 0 were awesome, but I do need to play more of them.
Did you really just spoil a Daganronpa death, wtf bro.
When i see the words "hidden gems" i tend to think of games that no one among my friends have heard of, imagine my when all my friends and i knew every game on this list, and even considered some of them (*cough* danganronpa) to be quite high profile to most people that call themselves gamers.
Dusk
Where's Doki Doki?????
Nidhogg 2 sucks
Spoiler alert for the list*
I am so god damned psyched (not intended, but intentionally left in) that Senua's Sacrifice was number 1 on the list! It was such a great game and a sincere emulation of psychosis. I would recommend watching the short documentary included as an extra on the game to see just what lengths they in which they strive for accuracy.
Great list, but a lot of these games are not really hidden, as long as you pay attention to more than triple A games. Pyre, Night in the Woods, Edith Finch, Hellblade are all pretty known in the indie community. If you wanna dig deeper you'll find truly hidden gems like Stories Untold, Slime Rancher, West of Loathing, Nex Machina, Gorogoa. Those are all great games that not many people have heard of.
Metroid: Samus Returns deserves far bigger sales than it has.
these games are SHIIIIIIIIT!!!
