Dark was a pretty cool game.
It could have used more polish but I liked it except for the last boss fight that was really shitty.
It was a fun stealth game with vampire powers.
Predator Concrete Jungel.
It had shitty reviews but imo it was the best Predator game ever.
Solid tps gameplay with lot of weapons and upgrades ,unlockable armors.
Mediocre means average, 5/10. Its not good or bad.
That's never touted. Its a part of the game that you need some combat skills. You'll only fall into that pit if you literally go out of your way to do so. In fact, as I recall the tutorial directly tells you that at some points you'll need some combat skills.
And one is a modern classic, the other reviled by all.
This was my answer. The combat wasn't actually terrible imo (you had to level up things like accuracy etc), but the stealth system was truly awful.
As an RPG though, it had one of the best dialogue systems I've ever played.

Dragon Age 2 would be one of mine. It does have a lot of issues, but it does some things even better than Origins (as heretical as that might seem). The characters are for the most part, exceptionally well-written. it adds a ton of lore to the world in new and interesting ways. There is plenty to love for anyone that likes western RPGs.
Aliens Vs. Predator. This is the 2010 version. Did it have its faults? Yes, it did. It also, imo, had the kind of atmosphere during the marine campaign that I felt an alien game should have. Some really enjoyable moments.
Some of the ones listed below will be a dozen or so that i think of off the top of my head from the last console life cycle. However, the number overlooked game of the last era was definitely...,ENSLAVED The remaining i will try keep rated as high sevens or lower...,
