I love uncharted 2 and 3. Colorful locations and comedy. It's like playing Indiana jones. I liked 1 but never beat it.

Assassin's Creed -- though I don't know if these games are overrated as much as they are overhyped.

Amnesia The Dark Descent
Borderlands
CS:GO

I love Bioshock, but it's a game that desperately wants to be more than a game but falls victim to some tired game tropes, i.e., the fetch quest and a horribly shoehorned final boss fight.

This. If it wasn't called Diablo then no one would have cared. Name carried it and kept people coming back.

As much as I play it, Minecraft is the most overrated game in history

Dungeon crawlers on consoles are always fun and I wish they made more of them. I wish they would make another Champions of Norrath and Champions return to Arms. That was by far my favorite dungeon crawler. Another Baldurs gate on console would be nice too. I just wish Snowblind Studios was still here to make these games.

I certainly found Bioshock Infinite to be extremely overrated.

I don't want to pick on The Last of Us because I love that game, although I do find that for time being it falls in the overrated category. In the pantheon of greatest games of all time, you really need to stand the test of time before you join that class. In the case of The Last of Us, publications were labeling this game one the greatest of all time within weeks of launching. That just didn't sit right with me.

Morrow Wind. It's the reason I have never played any of the others. Maybe I owe the serious some more patience.

I like the game a lot, but The Witcher 2 needs to come down from its cloud. CD Projekt Red has some great PR, but then again so did Bioware once upon a time.
