Skyrim, until the mods came

Half Life 3

Undertale - It took a lot of pages off from Earthbound and just basically served as an example of what happens when you are nothing but fan-service.

Doom - There will be no arguments against the fact that Doom did set the FPS world on fire when it arrived. But, you can make an argument that overtime, there have been lots of very enjoyable FPS games that will give Doom a run for its money. I'm also a fan of Quake and I think Quake helped progress FPS in its own way. I really hate that Doom: The Dark Ages was pissed away when that could've been the Quake remake or continuation we'd all like to see. Instead, Quake died at Quake Champions, a very forgettable hero-shooter.

The Last of Us part II demolished the prestige of The Last of Us. Its storytelling devastated the technical prowess of the company's workers. To date, Naughty Dog hasn't been able to produce any relevant game after circa The Last of Us. They produced part II which sold fine thanks to its predecessor, and they have made remasters and derivatives of the first game which is their milking cow.

Yet, part II has a following cult like flatearthers.

Candy Crush and the million remakes. Stole the core mechanic from Bejeweled but designed to be addictive instead of fun.

Minecraft

I never understood why Breath of the Wild was so beloved. I played through it and Tears of the Kingdom, but I really wonder if they would have been as well received if they didn't benefit from the Zelda franchise.

I found myself getting annoyed with the game more often than excited. I very quickly became annoyed encountering koroks, or shrines, or the stupid sign guy. I think the bevy of side quests and collectibles diluted too much of the narrative and enjoyment of the world.

Dota and LoL. I shamelessly judge anyone who regularly plays either of those games by choice. Way too many people seem to like them.

Half Life 3

Skyrim. It's a broken mess of a game that's barely held together by duct tape and hope, and it would be treated as such if it wasn't for the modding community. Most of the game is fetch quests, and the magic system is just bad. Melee combat sucks, too. All one handed weapons feel the same, all the two handed weapons feel the same. The only actually interesting path of progression is the stealth archer, and I'm pretty sure that's an accident.

Probably the best sandbox ever made though, just a shit game.

EA sports/fifa.

I’ll play flappy bird over that any day.

For most games, it depends on who you're asking. I, for example, hate multiplayer looter-shooters, so the most overrated game to ME would be Fortnite. It literally hold no attraction for me and the thought of even playing it makes me shudder.

However, the universal answer is really any EA sports title.

It's literally the same game every...damn...year....

Diablo 2

Basically every Call of Duty. Copy paste of the previous game with new paint. Never saw the appeal, gameplay is boring, just twitchy, and so many cringe people seem to love it.

According to this thread overrated means either "games I didn't like" or "games that didn't work for me".

Skyrim. It was at best "fine" for me. I really dislike level scaling. The combat felt unsatisfying. I don't remember the story. It's not weird like Morrowind. The magic and enchanting was over-simplified.

But for many people it's their grand joy. So I guess that's good for them.

Final Fantasy VII

It's not even the best Final Fantasy

Ocarina of Time. I mean, its good. But so many people act like its the best video game of all time. Its like barely top 5 Zelda game imo let alone the best game full stop

I'm ready for the downvotes
