Overrated means anything that gets more attention and praise it deserves.
Like saying pac-man is the best game ever.
You guys are being overly subjective about this. *Shrugs*

Shovel Knight is kinda overrated I think. But I'm aware it might just be me.

Skyrim, Shovel Knight, and a special mention to Dragon Age Inquisition.
EDIT: Forgot to mention Half Life 2. I like it, but it isn't as absolutely groundbreaking as everyone seems to think it is.

"Overrated" is a subjective concept to begin with. |

But pacman is the best game ever  , the design is so elegant you couldn't refine it without breaking it and in fact nobody could (championship edition is its own thing). It doesn't get more attention it deserve because there is still nothing to compare it to and there was nothing back then. Meanwhile while dishonored is great it still have thief or the assassin's creed series as comparison (with ass creed achieving overrated status as there is so many thing to compare it to). /teasing |

i agree with molten's first 3 paragraphs.
call of duty bores me to death but i did like the multiplayer. i have yet to play a game that i find overrated and had it be unplayable in one sense or another, i.e. really bad or actually virtually unplayable.

"man, back when i was [however many years ago I was too young to know better] videogames were way better!"
I guess this kind of a threadjack, but... Speaking as someone who's been computer gaming since the 80's, I feel like this is the greatest time for gaming there's ever been. Freedom from publishers and brick and mortar 'shelf space' limits have made it so that any kind of game can get made, and they are, in a wonderful cornucopia. There's no genre that's not been represented in the last three years, and represented well. It wasn't this way three years ago, but it is now. I'm very satisfied with the state of the industry. The only thing I think that really needs improvement is - Steam needs viable competition, and the different storefronts need to connect on their own internet protocol. I should be able to make "Friends" with users on Desura and Origin from Steam and organize games with them. It's not going to happen, because some of those companies are too hypercompetitive, but that's the only improvement I would want with the state of the industry right now. |

Some people make fun of Dust: An Elysian Tail for the "DeviantArt"-level graphics. I'm honestly ok w/ them. The big offender in this game is actually the mechanics. Dust is a button masher in every sense of the term. Attacking and blocking is bound to the same button so all you need to do is keep pushing that button until things are dead. There's no need for magic or any of that other shit, just mash the fucking button like you were playing Cookie Clicker.
Moreover, the experience curve is out of whack. The rewards grow much faster than the requirements, so if you stay in one area for too long you can oneshot everything. Would not recommend. At least you can easily get 100% achievements in the game, if that's something you care about.

Spec Ops: The Line.
People praise it for it's "compelling narrative", which is ok but not as groundbreaking as people say it is, solely because you don't have control over your character's actions. The story is not worth slugging through the terrible gameplay for.

Whoa whoa whoa, leave EYE and FEAR out of this. And Battlefields 1942, 2 and 2142. And Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2. And Crysis. |

ok, serious talk: Earthbound.
Its weird, quirky, fun, has some genius moments, but also is a standart jrpg with lots of walking and grind. I loved it, but then i read internets and I dont know if those people played same game as me. Although 90% of internets is about the ending and the fact that one of minor characters is gay.
Final boss is what really makes the game overrated. Just read its interpretations, it is Room 237 of gaming.

thomas was alone. full stop. discussed this on twitter the other day but its boring, repetitive mechanics lead you to no further meaningful connection with the characters or story at hand. the writing, furthermore, is often excruciatingly clumsy and overwrought.
but what do i know
