Games come and go, and they’re usually remembered for the good (and not so good) qualities they offer. As such, sometimes games are remembered for being too good, with gamers forgetting all the negative aspects of them. This is a list of the 5 most overrated titles from this gen, and why gamers might be forgetting the flaws in the first place. In the end, these are good games, but maybe not as good as they’re made out to be.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
Fuse ARPG, Soulslike, and cozy crafting mechanics for a one-of-a-kind adventure. Here is The Nerd Stash's early impressions of No Rest for the Wicked.
Starship Troopers: Extermination is continuing its early access period with a class system overhaul that will give players more options when it comes to pushing back the bugs.
It must be frustrating for these devs to see Helldivers 2 absolutely devour their lunch lol
-Oh my God, this game looks like a complete rip-off of Helldivers II!
-At least it gives Xbox players the chance to experience something similar to the PlayStation game!
Jokes aside it does make you wonder why Sony, who owns the IP for both, is continuing with two products when there is such overlap. Should it one day make a new Starship Troopers film or a Helldivers film instead?
"and the story loses all credibility when they introduce the living dead into the mix"
Oh so I'm guessing the Indiana Jones films or any other good adventure films loose credibility when they introduce super natural stuff ¬¬
It really makes me think you hated most games on your list....so games people don't like are automatically over rated
... While none of the games are bad by any means, I just wasn't as impressed by them as most other gamers seem to be.
I haven't played Resistence, so I can't comment on that, but I thought Gears of War was quite boring, gameplay-wise, and the same goes for Uncharted (ducks for cover). I guess I'm just not a big fan of cover-shooters.
Portal was good, but I somehow just didn't love it.
Mass Effect kinda lost me, cause I'm bad with names, so whenever I stopped playing for a bit, I just had no clue as to what I was supposed to do, who was who, and where I was supposed to go. Mass Effect 2 is better.
I think Skyrim is the most overrated game of the generation(imo)
Most over-rated games of this generation is Halo 3 and 4, IMO !
