Thanks for your insights. I meant underrated in terms of exposure. As you indeed pointed out, it's highly praised by those who have played it. And it's not a hidden gem by any means it just feels less zeitgeisty than BG is. I haven't actually seen the numbers so that could just be anecdotal.

With your incidental review, I am excited to play it! Probably after Starfield though :)
