Top 10 Most Justified Reasons for Certain Video Games Being Called Overrated

The Top Ten
1 Thinly disguised cutesy animal retexturing of an age-old medieval catapult flash game that quickly became the most popular thing since Spongebob, Mario, Sonic and the Simpsons combined - Angry Birds
2 Incredibly bland and by-the-numbers first-person shooter that gets hailed as the greatest thing ever created by mankind - Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare
3 Unfunny, completely retarded step-manchild of Family Guy and pre-Season-4 South Park that still gets universally praised as "funniest game ever" even though the poop-monster fight midway through is about as clever as it gets - Conker's Bad Fur Day
4 Slightly less manufactured and factory-processed first-person shooter that also gets constantly hailed as humanity's magnum opus, albeit chiefly by Microsoft fanboys - Halo 3
5 Nearly everything the game did was done considerably better and less formulaically by later 3D Zelda titles, all of which got completely shunned by comparison - Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
6 Shallow, broken and completely outdated joke of a rhythm game that the Lammy spinoff sequel is both equally as innovative as and easily threefold superior to in nearly every single way possible, also including the music - Parappa The Rapper
7 Possibly one of the least scary things to ever be advertised as "gut-wrenching horror" by the Internet, and definitely the only one to give people animatronic fetishes - Five Nights At Freddy's
8 Basically the exact same boringly ham-fisted storyline and mindlessly attack-command-mashing gameplay as Final Fantasy but with time travel added and basically all of the challenge removed - Chrono Trigger
9 Entire game is basically just the good version of Other M - Metroid Fusion
10 For every astonishingly emotional and/or memorable moment in the game, there are at least five or ten generic fantasy storytelling clichés to go along with it, adding up to at least somewhere around literally 4,000 - Undertale
The Contenders
11 Basically just a generic Left 4 Dead clone except being a battle royale-style game and with Minecraft-styled gameplay that somewhat became the most popular thing since Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed - Fortnite

It was supposed to say "Caused the more luck-based sub-genre of FPS/TPSs known as "battle royale" to become the most popular thing of 2018".

12 Got Universally Praised as the Best Game Between It, Horizon Zero Dawn, Skyrim and Witcher 3, Largely Because of Its Zelda Label - Breath of the Wild
13 Literally Just Super Mario 64 but Linearized and Put Into Space - Super Mario Galaxy
14 Nearly Everything It Did Was Also Done Considerably Better by Future 3D Mario Games, Barring the Amazingly Oversized Hub-World - Super Mario 64
15 Easily the Worst Level Design of Any 2d Sonic Game by Far, with Practically Its Only Saving Grace Being the Soundtrack - Sonic CD

17 Hardcore Melee nostalgia fanboys saying that Brawl and 4, ironically far more balanced and substantial games, are terrible and don't deserve to exist compared to it - Super Smash Bros. Melee
18 A slightly less generic party-game spinoff concept that almost anyone could have come up with, turned into quite possibly the biggest fighting-game franchise ever - Super Smash Bros
19 Basically a Mario game but with considerably worse gameplay and, by today's standards, worse-looking graphics, with its only advantage being the music - Donkey Kong Country (SNES)
20 Basically just Banjo-Kazooie without anything even resembling an actual proper gameplay structure - Donkey Kong 64
21 The astonishingly cancerous disease that is CD-i Youtube Poop memes - Hotel Mario and Zelda CD-i Games
22 Added almost nothing of significance to Melee besides Story Mode and Final Smashes - Super Smash Bros Brawl
