Underrated:

World of WarCraft

For a game that's "really fucking good" to "best in the medium contender" in many counts, especially in areas that are often acknowledged to be high-priority factors (like responsiveness) or that are routinely panned but it somehow gets right (like implementation of open world), it rarely gets a good word put in its favor

Myth (1&2 with modern fan-patches)

Basically the best RTT games around that, unlike many games I'm most likely to praise, aren't deeply flawed in some ways but in fact pretty much flawless with every one of their component parts being stellar, from compelling narrative told from the point of view to a common soldier, to satisfying physics engine that sends limbs flying around

Dota 2

I don't like ASSFAGs, but it's also one of those games that does so many things so right (you could write a lengthy argument just about how the UI works or how Icefrog does balancing), is generally high production value, and yet people only talk about how they hate it.

Overrated:

Baldur's Gate 2 (but also other Infinity Engine RPGs)

I think AD&D is a terrible worst-of-all-worlds system that has negligible tactical depth (especially in more exploitable CRPG context), hinders rather than supports emergent storytelling ("roleplay"), and has the worst ratio of crunch to mechanical detail you actually get out of the system. A system-focused game (PS:T at least has the saving grace of avoiding this) with a bad system is irredeemable, although I think writing, characters, etc, also get too much credit compared to games of similar quality.

Classic Arcade games (let's say it counts as two so I won't have to edit/make second post)

A reference class thing: I reckon a game like Flappy Bird is generally viewed with disdain while e.g. Joust is viewed with respect. But aren't they fundamentally very similar? If you think about it, is it not the case that Angry Birds is "better" than Breakout? I prefer to judge games consistently on their own terms

Underrated:
None

Overrated:
Elden ring
Undertale

This says alot about society

lol based

Overrated:

wipeout
(I get the appeal, but I don't like how consistently wide tracks are and the mariokart items don't seem to vibe with the style of racing. I like how many options ballisticng has)
HROT
(just felt all round awful to play, uninstalled in first level. I can see the visual style being charming but I don't understand the wide positive reception i've seen.)
Demon Turf
(charming, but often too easy, some levels get confusing, and FUCK doing all the levels twice)

Underrated:

Darksouls 2
(A ton of problems and the game everyone loves to hate, but I had more fun with it than Elden Ring and das3, gets more meme hate than what fun you can get out of it)
Quake Champions
(a TON of problems, shoddy execution, but got lots of improvements over the years and proved itself too be a worth while direction when it comes to teambased modes mixing movement styles of older games)
XCOM: Chimaera Squad
(absolutely fucking cringe in terms of style, writing and voiceacting, but for a small bitesized xcom game that mixes things up a with a more chaotic turn structure and ability to breach into rooms it was just fine as a spinoff title.)

For visual novels:

Overrated

Steins;Gate

Danganronpa

DDLC

Underrated:

Fata Morgana

13 Sentinels

Clannad

Overrated:

Dishonored

the elder scrolls oblivion is a better stealth game

Underrated:

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

one of the greatest stealth games ever made

another attempted revisionism thread

Overrated

Breath of the Wild

Its a boring repetitive slog. The sequel does a lot to make things better.

Red Dead Redemption 2

The story is not good and the gameplay is atrocious. All I can say is that it is pretty.

Elden Ring

Copy paste open world garbage with one dimensional combat. Its only saving grace is the build variety which gives the illusion of choice.

Underrated

Final Fantasy 8

Its way overhated. Its plot is messy but Squall's arc is well told and the visuals and music are superb

Dark Souls 2

The base game is pretty bland and movement is a bit awkward, but the DLCs are top tier

Resident Evil 6

The obnoxious amount of QTEs aside the combat is pretty fun, especially with a friend. Same as RE5

HROT overrated

There are in total about 10 people who played it on this board.

maybe i'm biased because i'm hard into oldschool shooters, but from the bubble I'm in it's often mentioned as "one of the good modern boomershooters", while it's nowhere near the level as Dusk or Amid Evil

Maybe I should give it another try sometime but it felt unity my first proof of concept browsergame tier to the point I couldn't go on.
I see it more often with more niche genres that don't get a lot of games that people are overly positive about things.
Why I mentioned Demon Turf for example wich is nowhere near as engaging as games like Korn Kidz64, Pseudoregalia or even Blue Fire.

Yakuza 0 is underrated

Not its not, its one of the most overrated games ever made.

allude me

Based video game enjoyer and noticer.
