Bioshock, for me.

Never understood why people were so smitten with that game. Yeah, the graphics were excellent, and being in an underwater city was dope, and it was one of the few games out there with a good plot, but the gameplay fell flat...so what's the point? Navigation was confusing and annoying; the shooting wasn't that much fun; the difficulty was often either too high, or too low; backtracking could get boring; the weapons weren't that great.

I remember when they said they had 6 games planned for the series. Lulz.

I mean you're objectively wrong about all that but to each their own I guess. People loved it because it was one of the best and most interesting stories told in gaming in some time. Guessing most of it went over your head.

This

The single player is a pretty disappointing experience. The character switching is almost never used in fun ways and I really don't care for the plot or characters. I also didn't much care for the heists, they were the main thing being hyped and were just kinda boring.

The online is straight up boring grindy garbage.

Bioshock


For a lot of people it was their first Deus Ex-like experience, so I can see why some people thought it was so great.

Witcher 3 for me.... as I just couldn't get into it. The controls and combat were clunky, and the first village was boring

I'm guessing that modern gamers, like especially people that played since PS2/Xbox era have conflated, though incorrectly a good story with a good game. I pretty much have the same opinion as TC in his OP regarding Bioshock. Though I didn't really know it was that well acclaimed outside of it's peak.

I'd have to think about my answer to the OP. My instinct is to say BotW, even though I thoroughly enjoyed it. But my only metric really to judge if it is overrated is CE's opinion on it.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga is factually the game I consider most overrated of all time.

I say "factually" because I actually compared my opinions against GameFAQs' objectively a while back. I had rated it a 2/5, where GameFAQs had rated it 4.23/5, for a difference of 2.23 points, which was the greatest discrepancy for any game I had ever played.

In fact, it's also more overrated than my most underrated game was underrated. I can't remember which one that was though.
