Which games do you dislike, but the rest of the world loves them?

Okay let me start with two heavy hitters right from the get go and don't forget these are only personal oppinions and I absolute understand if you like those games. Good for you!

Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Not a bad game per se, but I don't get the hype behind it. Sure the dungeons are fun but the world is so lifeless, the story non existent, the combat pretty shallow, the tower climbing is very much like FarCry but for some reasons it's okay here while Ubisoft gets the blame...like I said I dont get why the game is so beloved. Never finished it after the 20 hour mark and probably never will.

Red Dead Redemption 2 - Just like Zelda not a bad game, but imho highly overrated. Graphics and and atmosphere are amazing but the controls are clunky and overloaded, nearly everybody is an unlikable douchebag who I would love to shoot myself at the first opportunity (maybe except Jack and Abigail) but I have to root and care for them. The game is just so long and feels very stretched, you already know that you won't get Dutch because it's a prequel and for an open world game you often get handholded in your weapon selection or things you can do because you have to wait for them to be unlocked by the game. I'm now nearly done with the game, playing the epilogue at the moment and I would say the last chapters are more entertaining than the rest of the game, but I still can't understand why this game was on so many game of the year lists and I really wanted to put the controller down a dozen times.

So there they are, two highly controversial oppinions by me and now I'm really curios what your takes are and how highly I get downvoted into oblivion πŸ˜‚

  • Uncharted. Dislike might be a strong word. But I don't particularly like them.

    The story is serviceable. Fine if you gameplay is great.

    The fighting mechanics are serviceable. Fine if the story is great.

    The climbing and puzzle mechanics are annoying. It constantly feels like you're not doing what the game wants you to do, even if it should work.

    The characters/character interactions are the highlight of the game. But it's not enough to make the game great.

    • Uncharted made me feel like being the protagonist of a movie (something like Indiana Jones). The production value was much higher than other games at the time.

      • To be honest I got that more from the old Tomb Raider games. To me, Uncharted was like if Indiana Jones got superpowers.
