The Games I Think Are Overrated (That I've Played)

Yes I'm aware I will receive death threats for putting these opinions out publicly, this is mainly aimed at Backloggd scores as well as general consensus on their reception. Sometimes it is just as simple as I was underwhelmed or disappointed at the end product that seems to receive so much love.
(Only Games I've Finished)

Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout: New Vegas
It's not the best Fallout, combat still sucks. Don't get me wrong, so much of this game is still so good but man is it hard to enjoy sometimes when I really struggle to enjoy the combat and the clunkiness of said combat alongside the engine being not good.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Loved most of the game but still found combat to be clunky especially compared to the previous games of the last gen and what Naughty Dog would go on to do with TLOU2 which feels night and day gameplay wise.
Ghost of Tsushima
Ghost of Tsushima
Rather empty open world, repetitive side activities (Saunas', fox dens, sword strikes), quite clunky, the stealth feels really tacked on and underwhelming but its peaks are still great, especially story wise.
Doom
Doom
Just never truly got the appeal, maybe I dont enjoy these type of shooter power fantasies anymore. I've yet to play Eternal but I honestly see it being much the same as Doom and something I likely won't find as interesting
Dying Light
Dying Light
The gaming communities "So Underrated" is not that underrated, very forgettable story and the gameplay was good never great at anything in particular, looked and sounded great at least
Demon's Souls
Demon's Souls
From Software games are one's I've never truly understood and this just feels like it is missing out on so much of what Dark Souls perfected (obviously since its a prequel but it still feels very basic and rough around the edges), some of the worst bosses in any From Soft Game
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
Literally peaks on the Normandy Landing mission, nothing else is anywhere near as memorable
Metro Exodus
Metro Exodus
Compared to the 3.8 it currently has, the game just feels so clunky which is weird considering how gorgeous it is. Often sluggish and has some proper frustrating moments
Elden Ring
Elden Ring
I made a review covering it but yeah this game is a bit overhyped to say the least and certainly not a 4.5 that it is currently on.
Monster Hunter: World
Monster Hunter: World
Just never got the hype, even when played with a group it never really captivated much. I can at least see why it is popular.
Spec Ops: The Line
Spec Ops: The Line
All I'm saying is that the combat is big poo poo smelly bad which really does drag the game down. Like the story really carries this game and even then it suffers from some real contrivances like the white phosphorous part.
