This should be "most underrated" because these are far from the best games of the year...

Also, if you can't be bothered not to mumble through the name of the games, maybe include a list in the video details.
*Edit* I was wrong to criticize in that way, and I apologise.

[yamilabugattas]

Hmm, it would probably be better to use categories maybe. This felt a bit random.

Why the hell isn't Pillars of Eternity 2 # 1

[mcwerts]

How can you not have "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" on your list of candidates? Makes the whole effort look a bit iffy.

[DavidAPayt]

How many “ties for #2” do you have? Why don’t you just drop the numbering and just give one top game and then list all the other games that you liked.

Also, you lose credibility when one guy keeps saying “I didn’t play that but I heard good things”.

[darthbuzzer]

No VR games? Where's Beat Saber, Vox Machinae, Echo Combat, Hellblade VR, Moss? Can't really call it a PC list if you leave out VR.

may have to give some of these a whirl a game i really liked a long while ago was Fez which also had a vintage type plat-former feel with modern extras it was really cool and really long with parts that you didn't necessarily have to finish in order to beat the game a lot of that list kinda reminded me of Fez and that a game doesn't have to be AAA standard to be great.

[isadoralavina-macleod]

Thanks for all the hard work Hayden and Adam. Definitely ones i hadn't heard of, or not thought much about trying. Don't mind all the Negative Nancys and Debbie Downers in the comments. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

So I've been joking for years that since we were going through an 8-bit retro style obsession over the last 5 years or so that soon they would start releasing games with crappy, retro early 3d graphics that looked and controlled terribly. Now they have. I didn't want to be right. That looks terrible.

[TechWithSean]

Forza Horizon 4
Dragon Quest XI
Yakuza 0
Black Ops 4
Assassins Creed Odyssey
Far Cry 5

I think whoever made this list is gaming on integrated graphics 😂😂😂

[guip]

The best PC game of the year is Dead Cells.

Crap. I haven't bought a new game since grand theft auto 5. Other ones i bought on sale or "borrowed" them.

Destiny 2 is an awful game, EXP trottleing, locking already purchased content behind dlc. Micro transactions in a 60$ + game, more micro transactions and micro transactions.
