Top 10 Most Overrated Video Games of All Time

The game is boring and repetitive, and you need to grind a ridiculous amount in order to get anywhere in Survival mode.

The graphics are bad, consisting of washed-up pixel art pasted onto 3D cubes. The only fun you can get out of this game is if you cooperate with your friends in the same world.

If you have no Minecraft-playing friends, however, you're just stuck with the same grind-heavy, eye-assaulting experience for hours.

I don't understand why anyone would like this game. First of all, nothing exciting ever happens. You dig around, fight the same six enemies, and then you build stuff. The game consumes more time than almost any other video game, yet it doesn't even have skills or levels, except for making better armor and weapons.

Even then, there's not much to do with all that gear. You only need armor and weapons to fend off those same repetitive enemies. The game lacks a clear goal. All you do is build and add on to whatever you've built, and then build something else. There is no story, no characters to get attached to, and not even a diversity in weapon choice.

As for the graphics, I don't care about them. There are far better games with similar graphics, and they were all made 20 or more years ago. Despite all of this, people are still obsessed with the game. I wouldn't mind, except that I can't escape it. It's everywhere: on YouTube, on Xbox, and people even talk about it all the time. I think it's time that everyone stops caring about this game. Life would be a lot less annoying if they did.

I thought about voting for Minecraft until I saw this. The literal goal of Fortnite is to shoot people, do a cringey dance once you win, and then restart. Despite all the popularity they've gained and will likely always have, they even considered copying Roblox. Holy crap, I hope everyone realized after that update that Fortnite is a cash grab.

You can literally play all of those games for free on Roblox, but Fortnite doesn't care - they just want attention. I'm not going to argue with anyone who likes the game, but I will say this: Fortnite is the most overrated game ever.

Angry Birds was a fun, simple game at first. But then the Angry Birds movie came out. While the movie itself was enjoyable, ever since then, the franchise has become oversaturated. Every single type of mobile game has been given an Angry Birds coat of paint.

Every time I use my phone, I am bombarded with ads for one of the new Angry Birds games, done in the post-movie art style, of course, which are always terrible. Why can't they just update the old games with new content and leave it at that? No one wants to buy their stupid toys. If someone were to pull out the Master Sword to travel seven years into the future, I swear the first thing they will see is a huge sign advertising the sixth installment of the Angry Birds cinematic universe!

Five Nights at Freddy's - that's all I hear about. Yes, the first game may be entertaining, but once that sequel came out, oh geez. And don't even get me started on the fandom. To get popular, all you have to do is make something unrelated to Five Nights at Freddy's, randomly copy and paste animatronics into the video, and boom - a ton of subscribers.

And the ships, oh Lord, the ships. If they didn't exist, the world would be a much better place. Don't people know that it's strange to ship robots? Apparently not. Anyway, Five Nights at Freddy's is too popular and, quite frankly, too rushed. Four games in one year? That, my friend, is what I call a lack of effort. I won't be surprised if there's merchandise, a TV show, a movie, a book, an anime, and so on.

Halo 2 Anniversary and Halo 3 are some of my favorite games ever, but this first game really doesn't hold much of a torch. The only reason people in the Halo community call it a masterpiece is because it was really good for its time. But now? Its graphics have shown their age, the levels are repetitive and boring (mostly), and the story is extremely simple. The voice acting? Meh, it's okay.

I admire Bungie's five seconds of fun rule, and the gameplay is pretty solid (although one out of ten for multiplayer) against the Covenant, but that does not make it a great game, not by today's standards. I'd rather play Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare than this any day. All the Halos after this one, except maybe five (and Spartan Strike/Assault), completely outdo it in every aspect.

This game is awfully overrated. At this point, we came from the word suspicious to sus. The game has some of the dumbest jokes ever and is filled with 10-year-olds. The word sus, which was originally an acronym, has turned into a real word because of this game.

Now I am truly sick of this game. All people talk about is this game. In lobbies, people make inappropriate jokes, and kids do annoying things, and people refuse to play the game. Every match, unless you actually have friends, usually ends with people in random chats leaving the match.

People accuse you for no reason and kick you out. Also, this game is ruining meme compilations like COVID. They make poor jokes related to this game in YouTube comments. The fanbase, unfortunately, even produces inappropriate content of Among Us. Furthermore, the mini crewmate memes are annoying, not cute.

The single-player mode has amazing actors and a compelling story. Everything in single-player is a lot of fun. However, the multiplayer experience is a different story: you get killed for no reason, encounter hackers, and have your assets stolen. Grand Theft Auto V may be the worst game to play online.

Is it the best Grand Theft Auto game? No! The greatest Grand Theft Auto game, in my opinion, is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. People claim that this is the best Grand Theft Auto of all time, but due to its problematic multiplayer, I believe it's the most overrated game of all time. Why can't there be different types of servers to choose from? Ideally, it would separate the sociopaths from the normal players, but that wouldn't work either because of trolls.

It's an okay game, but it hardly deserves all the praise it has received. The storyline is somewhat interesting, but the graphics are terrible. The gameplay is rather boring, the main character is very unlikable, and the villain lacks personality or motive. I can't say I actually cared when Aerith died either. She was a pretty annoying character, in my opinion.

There are so many other Final Fantasy games that are better, but for some reason, they're always overshadowed by this one. I've never understood why.

I love Skyrim. I've put 200 hours into it and have earned the platinum trophy twice. But I'll also be the first to admit that it's probably the most overrated game ever made. It earned accolades like Game of the Year in 2011, was often cited as the game of the decade for the 2010s, and is frequently called the best game ever made.

Nope.

This game is riddled with glitches and exploits. The writing is remarkably worse than Oblivion in every aspect. NPCs barely feel like people. The combat is awful no matter what you do, and while dungeon diving is definitely an improvement over previous entries, it's still vapid and monotonous.

It's still an amazing game, but while my heart tells me to rate it a 9, my brain says it's no more than a 5.5. There are so many things wrong with it that it's absurd. It deserves its title as the most overrated game ever made, perhaps alongside the ridiculously overrated and boring Final Fantasy VII.

The game is awesome for machinimas and multiplayer, but the single player never really lived up to it. I just felt like it was too overrated for my liking. But then again, that's my thought.

The single player of this game is awful, and the multiplayer has nothing special, so why is this game so popular?

I give this an 8.0/10. It's not even close to a classic for me. My cousin Justin and I just dominate this on the hardest setting. It's really easy.

I played them when they were released, and I don't know what world some of the people posting were living in, but the first one really wasn't that mind-blowing at all. Doom and its sequel had better level design, atmosphere, and were more fun. They came out about five years before Half-Life. They even ripped the story off from Doom, which barely even had one to begin with. Is that what you're trying to say is impressive about it?

Both are pretty generic in that regard. Half-Life just fleshed it out a little more, and gameplay-wise, it was very boring and weak. But it was rendered in 3D, so I guess it was the best FPS ever made? Its presentation was nice, but it was severely lacking in other areas, in my opinion. Half-Life 2 was just more of the same for me. The gameplay was not fun, and the story was as generic as ever.

Boring beyond belief. It's repetitious, time feels quirky and meaningless, and the annoying speech from the characters is just one of many problems I have with The Sims. It's odd how the best-selling games are hardly ever the best games.

Excluding Final Fantasy VII.

This game is incredibly boring and repetitive. The social interactions feel meaningless, the nonsensical gibberish gets on my nerves, and taking care of the characters feels no different from taking care of a baby. For me, this is the most overrated game ever.

Only 33? Come on! The graphics are so unimpressive. Clearly, the only reason it is 2D is to cash in on the nostalgia of the older generation. The so-called "nice guy monsters whom you're supposed to give mercy to" make Porky Minch look like Tails. The dialogue never made me laugh, just groan out of sheer stupidity.

Worst of all, despite being a huge rip-off of the Mother series, the only thing they "forgot" to copy is the love for your parents who always welcome you home. And by parents, I mean the real ones who raised you, not just a bunch of strangers whom you've talked to for, like, two seconds. The only two good things in this game are the music and the final boss. This game should be heavily criticized, along with the people who created it.

Incredibly overrated. The style is utterly unappealing, with muted colors and character models that look like they've been converted from the PS2 era. The story is lackluster, featuring characters I don't care for and offering no emotional attachment as a result.

But it's mainly the gameplay that disappoints the most. It has loose driving controls that make you feel like you're on an ice rink. The mission structure restarts the mission every time you lose, which can be particularly annoying when those missions are long. The tasks are repetitive, the open-world environment is dull and doesn't reward exploration, and some areas are so dark that it's hard to see.

Even worse, the gameplay has deteriorated from previous installments. Gone are the multiple creative weapons and the fun open world that made earlier games enjoyable. In their place is a game that is a hollow shell of its predecessors. The only reason this game was rated so highly is because of the brand name. Thankfully, Chinatown Wars (my favorite Grand Theft Auto game) and V came along to redeem the series, but this installment remains a blight on the series' otherwise wonderful legacy.

This game is so overrated, it's crazy. What is there about this game that is even somewhat gratifying? It certainly didn't revolutionize the gaming industry. It's not addicting. In fact, I can barely play this game for 10 minutes before getting bored out of my skull.

It would be one thing if the Tetris "franchise" had actually evolved over the years, but that's not the case. I'm not even sure it can be considered a video game anymore, given its appearances on iPods, the Internet, and even cell phones.

And yet, reviewers give high praise to this overrated game. It ranked in the top ten on G4's "Top 100 Video Games of All Time" list. Many gaming communities also rank Tetris very high on their lists. Why? What is so good about this game? It's not revolutionary. It's not addicting. I just don't understand. There is absolutely no reason the game should be treated the way it is.

I like playing this game once in a while, but I would argue that, besides Brawl with Subspace Emissary, there are no features that make it considerably better than Ultimate. The only things Melee has over Ultimate are Break the Target and Adventure Mode, which are pretty minor and not enough to outshine Ultimate.

Sure, Melee has wavedashing, but it's one of the reasons competitive Melee is so hard to get into. You are basically praising a game for a glitch that wasn't even planned by the developers.

I grew up with this game and I really like it, but I think that sometimes this game has really good ideas and fails to expand upon them throughout the entire level. For example, they introduce you to the Bomboos at the start of the level and never use this cool enemy until the boss at the end.

They could have made an entire level based around Bomboos. That's why I like Galaxy 2, 3D World, and Odyssey more: their level design has better focus.

Not a big fan. Everyone says it's the best game ever, but I just don't get it. It's another Mario game, except it controls way worse. "Oh, but it has amazing music!" Okay, sure, the music is nice to listen to, but that doesn't excuse it.

There's nothing really wrong with these games on their own, but if it weren't for the newer games, Pokemon would probably be the shallow, boring thing people think it is. Newer generations have better graphics, more Pokemon species for greater choice, and aspects like breeding, EV training, held items, and new moves that give the game an incredibly deep meta. Yet, all you see is people complaining about how the new designs are bad.

Each generation has well-liked Pokemon and less popular ones. We get it. You don't have to love them all, but they're all there, no matter what, and that can't be changed.

Why do people even defend this? Sure, it has Disney characters in it, but that doesn't make it a good game! The story is cheesy, and Sora is just an anime Mickey Mouse.

The titles are even worse. "365/2 Days"? And you're supposed to pronounce it "365 Days over 2"? Just name the game something else!

Sora will be the last fighter in Smash Ultimate, giving us more reasons to hate him. My dreams of having Earthworm Jim, Crazy Dave, Waluigi, Dr. Eggman, Scorpion, and Klaymen in Smash have been destroyed by some annoying anime kid. Screw you, Sora.
