If it came across as talking bad about the game/franchise thats not the intent. It’s just rarely mentioned in the crpg mainstream articles I’ve seen over time. Usually Divinity and others are brought up more often.
No no, I just see “Underrated” used a lot about things that really aren’t underrated. It’s become a bit of a pet peeve for me.
(Like when someone calls REM an underrated band. Like, they are world renowned. They’re just old and broken up.)
And I’m also pointing out a likely reason for them not being talked about as much as other titles in the same genre. A side from going through the game with different roles, the first game just doesn’t have a lot of replay value. Not a lot of ‘Choice & Consequence’. There’s your Char and what God you choose to side with in the end. That’s kinda it.

So they aren’t underrated. Just low replayability value.
And if Avowed is part of the series, I’d say the IP’s doing fine. Three installments is pretty good.

Good games, but not exactly riveting.
